Warrant cites possession of dangerous drugs

DALLAS – U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport arrested an international traveler with an outstanding arrest warrant, May 28.

Tyler Joe Davis, 19, was returning to the U.S. from Belize, when CBP officers arrested him. 

Davis, a U.S. citizen, is wanted in St. Francois County, Missouri for distribution, delivery, manufacture, production, or attempting to, or possess with intent to distribute, deliver, manufacture, or the production of marijuana.

“As a law enforcement agency it is our duty to take the appropriate action when we encounter wanted persons,” said Dallas CBP Director Hunt.  “In the course of our daily operations, we routinely coordinate with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies.”

CBP officers turned Davis over to DFW Department of Public Safety for extradition to St. Francois County, Missouri.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged with the management, control and protection of our nation's borders at and between the official ports of entry. CBP is charged with keeping terrorists and terrorist weapons out of the country while enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws.
