Two Fugitives Arrested Far From Akron

Written by

Two Akron men who've been on the run for months have been arrested far from Akron.

Akron police say 23 year-old Davon Miguel Irvine was wanted for a home invasion robbery last December on Pontiac Street. He was arrested by a U.S. Marshals task force in Texas.

26 year-old Brock Richardson was wanted for involuntary manslaughter and drug charges in connection with the heroin overdose death of a 21 year-old Akron man. He was arrested in Florida.

Both are awaiting extradition back to Akron.

(APD, news release) Chief James Nice announces the arrest of Davon Miguel Irvine, 23, of Alton Drive and Brock Richardson, 26, of Tonawanda Avenue, both of Akron. Irvine was apprehended by the U.S. Marshals Gulf Coast Violent and Offenders Task Force in Stafford, Texas. Richardson was apprehended by the U.S. Marshals Florida Regional Fugitive Task Force in Port Richey, Florida.

The U.S. Marshals Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force conducted countless hours of intelligence over the last several months, which included interviews and electronic surveillance in the Akron area. This intelligence led investigators to Stafford, Texas and Port Richey, Florida, where the fugitives were taken into custody without incident and will await extradition back to Ohio.

Davon Irvine is wanted for aggravated robbery and aggravated burglary for a home invasion that occurred on December 30, 2015 in the 1300 block of Pontiac Street. Irvine and another male duct taped, zip tied and pistol whipped the resident's before taking the residents cell phone and cash.

Richardson is wanted for involuntary manslaughter, corrupting another with drugs and trafficking in drugs. On February 21, 2016, Richardson supplied a 21 year old male with heroin. The 21 year old male was found deceased by his mother after overdosing on the heroin.
