COLUMBUS – A shooting suspect who was the subject of a manhunt after escaping from a Columbus mental health facility was recaptured Sunday night in West Virginia.
Jacob Davidson was taken into custody near Chapmanville, W. Va., after being on the run since De. 29, when he escaped from Twin Valley Behavioral Heath Hospital, 2200 W. Broad Street, Ohio State Highway Patrol spokesman Lt. Nathan Dennis said.
Davidson, 38, was being held on numerous felony charges in relation to a Nov. 10 shooting in Morrow County that led to an officer-involved shooting with the Bucyrus Police Department, Dennis said.
The patrol credited the U.S. Marshal Service, West Virginia State Police, Knox County, Licking County and Crawford County Sheriff’s Office and the Columbus Division of Police with helping to recapture Davidson.
