Escaped Child Rape Suspect Turns Himself in After 45 Minutes in the Cold

When the weather outside was frightful, the prospect of jail became delightful.

That’s the tale Memphis police are telling about Demarkus Davis, 20, who police say staged a short escape while heading to jail, only to later turn himself in, according to WMC-TV.

The saga begins with Davis being transported to the Shelby County Jail.

Although details were not released, Davis was facing two counts of child rape from an incident that took place on April 1, 2022.

A corrections officer had picked him up on a warrant, but told police that the suspect escaped from the car, still in handcuffs.

Police then began to search for Davis amid snowy weather and temperatures that hovered at around 13 degrees.

At the time, Davis was wearing jeans and hoodie.

Have you noticed an increase in crime in recent years?

Less than 45 minutes after the escape was reported, police said that Davis asked a stranger if the stranger would be so kind as to call the police so he could get out of the cold.

Police said in his short time of freedom, Davis had made it less than a mile from the location of the escape.

Police were accommodating to the suspect’s request, adding a count of escape to the charges Davis was facing.

He was then locked up in the Shelby County Jail on a $75,000 bond.

Memphis continued to face wintry weather during the week, with the city under a winter weather advisory all day Thursday, according to the Memphis Commercial Appeal.

By next week, however, the temperature will be at a much more escape-friendly level, with a high predicted to be in the 50s.

Police, however, may miss the snow, according to WREG-TV, which noted that footprints helped lead police to arrest Rodricuz Partee, 22, and Chardarius Baskerville, 20, after a break-in at an Ulta cosmetics store.

Police said when they were called to the scene, they followed the footprints from the broken front window to the parking lot. There, they said they found the suspects and a suitcase containing stolen merchandise.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

 

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

 

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

 

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

 

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

 

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor

The Western Journal
