Claremont police caught a fugitive of justice while investigating an unrelated call of suspicious activity in the area. According to Lt. Ciszek, CPD was working the 1000 block of Butte St. after receiving a call of a suspicious man knocking on a door who then drove away in a gold sedan. At approximately 1 p.m., the vehicle was located parked next to yard with an open side gate. As they were watching the yard, a Chevy Camaro with a Texas license plate was spotted driving around the area. Believing the car could be involved in criminal activity, officers made contact with the driver, Davaris Adams, who identified himself with a state of Texas inmate card. A record check revealed Mr. Adams had three outstanding warrants—two from Texas and one from Missouri—that both states were willing to extradite. The 33-year-old Fort Worth resident was arrested on the warrants and later transported to downtown Los Angeles.
