COLUMBUS, Ohio — The man who escaped from the Twin Valley Behavioral Health Hospital in Columbus was arrested in West Virginia, the Crawford County Sheriff's Office said.

According to The Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP) and the U.S. Marshals, Davidson, 38, escaped around 8 p.m. Thursday. He was on the run until Sunday night. Investigators said he was caught in Chapmanville West Virginia by the West Virginia State Police.

He was being held on numerous felony charges in relation to a Nov. 10 shooting in Morrow County, that led to an officer-involved shooting with the Bucyrus Police Department.

Davidson will remain in a West Virginia jail until he can be extradited back to Ohio, investigators said.

The Crawford County Sheriff's Office did not release any information surrounding Davidson's arrest.
