In 2017, Davis was arrested in Saskatchewan after fleeing his halfway house in Vancouver.

Police say a citizen was driving in Langenburg, Sask., about four hours west of Winnipeg, when they recognized Davis’ grey Mercedes and called police.

Davis is described as Caucasian, five-foot-eight-inches tall, and weighing 178 pounds.

He has short blond hair, blue eyes, and numerous tattoos on his arms. Police say he was last seen wearing a black rain jacket, blue jeans, and work boots and was carrying a small backpack.

Police are asking anyone to call 911 immediately if they see Davis or the grey Mercedes, or if you have any information about his whereabouts.
