MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. — Dajuan Nikil McCormick, 30, was arrested by Milledgeville Police on Tuesday afternoon after officers responded to a theft report in the Riverview subdivision. McCormick, who had multiple outstanding warrants, was apprehended following a foot chase, after officers located him hiding in a crawl space under a house.
Upon encountering McCormick, officers issued verbal commands, but he attempted to flee. McCormick was quickly tased and taken into custody without further incident. Milledgeville Police are investigating other thefts in the area, with McCormick considered a suspect in several of them.
The arrest follows an earlier manhunt in the Carrington Woods area on April 1, where McCormick was linked to multiple incidents, including a report of a man jumping out of a vehicle and several entering auto cases.
McCormick was among five suspects wanted by Macon Regional Crimestoppers for crimes in Middle Georgia. Police expressed gratitude for the public’s assistance in the case.
