VALDOSTA— Police officers never really get a day off. Even if not on the clock, an in born sense of responsibility and duty will usually move them to take action if something sketchy is afoot. This report proves that.

On January 4, 2020, at approximately 2:41 am, patrol officers from the Valdosta Police Department responded to the 1500 block of East Park Avenue in reference to a subject trespassing.

Upon arrival, the victim indicated a subject, later determined to be Quinton Davenport, knocked on her window. The victim related when she did not respond Davenport broke her window. This incident was witnessed by neighbors of the victim. The witnesses confronted Davenport who argued with them before leaving the scene.

An off-duty Valdosta Police Department Detective witnessed Davenport drive away from the scene at a high rate of speed. Officers were able to conduct a traffic stop on Davenport at which time he was determined to be driving while intoxicated. Davenport was also carrying a small amount of marijuana on his person.

Davenport was transported to Lowndes County Jail on the following charges:

We are grateful for the assistance of the witnesses in this case. Their help and the fast response from our officers and detective got this subject off the streets possibly preventing innocent citizens from being injured.
