THOMAS COUNTY, Georgia – On Tuesday, January 27, 2026, Thomas County Narcotics Agents and Thomas County Sheriff’s Office deputies assisted the United States Marshals Service with the arrest of a fugitive wanted out of Tallahassee, Florida.

Agents were attempting to stop a vehicle occupied by Tavoris Morris, with Davontae Clark of Tallahassee driving, when the vehicle fled toward Thomasville, Georgia. The pursuit ended when law enforcement boxed the vehicle in at a traffic light in Thomasville.
