Man Arrested On LI After Months-Long Investigation: Police

CENTER MORICHES, NY — After an investigation that spanned months, a Center Moriches man was arrested on a warrant Thursday, Suffolk County Sheriff Errol Toulon said.

Deputy sheriff investigators from the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office warrant squad arrested Daniel Davis, 39, on a Suffolk County First District Court bench warrant; he was charged with two counts of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a felony; seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a misdemeanor, and second-degree criminally using drug paraphernalia, a misdemeanor, Toulon said.

Davis was located in Center Moriches after a months-long investigation into his whereabouts and arrested without incident, Toulon said.

Davis was held overnight and was slated for an appearance at First District Court on Friday, Toulon said.

"When an individual does not appear in court, judges issue a warrant for his arrest," Toulon said. "Tracking down these individuals so that they can face justice can be a dangerous job. I am proud of the hard work and professionalism of the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office Warrant Squad as they bring these fugitives to justice."
