There are eyes all over Davie County.
Andrew Lee Camp, 38, of Cooleemee, learned that on Wednesday as he attempted to flee Davie Sheriff’s officers trying to arrest him for violating a court order.
On Tuesday, Camp was released from the Davie Detention Center on the condition he not go about the premises of the victim of a previous domestic violence crime, said Davie Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Brian Jacobs.
That night, he was spotted at that Cooleemee residence. When deputies arrived, he fled on foot.
Later that night, deputies received a call from a resident that he had been spotted in the Richie Road area north of Mocksville. That word got out, and more calls began to come in.
Camp was taken into custody with the help of K9 Smoke in a wooded area off of Richie Road.
“We want to thank everyone for all of the tips,” Jacobs said. “Tips started to come in on the phone and on the sheriff’s department app.”
He was charged with resisting arrest and a comestic violence prevention order violation.
