COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ohio Highway Patrol announced the capture of Jacob Davidson. 

Davidson has been a wanted fugitive since escaping Twin Valley Behavioral Health Hospital in Columbus on December 30. 

He was being held at the hospital after being indicted for felonious assault, discharging a firearm on/or near prohibited premises, disrupting public services, and improperly handling firearms in a motor vehicle.

The Crawford County Sheriff’s Office said Davidson in November was arrested by the Bucyrus Police Department after being identified as the shooter in incidents that took place in Crawford and Morrow Counties. During a traffic stop, Davidson reportedly opened fire on the arresting officers.
