The Arrest: Responding to Community Concerns

On September 23, officers apprehended 26-year-old Devante Dungy, who was found in the vicinity where the incidents were reported. In a troubling twist, Dungy was already on probation and was subject to a prohibition order due to unrelated legal issues at the time of his arrest.

Devante Dungy is now facing multiple charges, including: - Uttering Threats - Criminal Harassment - Failing to Comply with a Prohibition Order - Multiple counts of Failing to Comply with Probation

Help Needed: Victims Encouraged to Come Forward

The investigation remains active, and authorities are urging any additional victims or witnesses to step forward. Police believe there may be more individuals affected by Dungy’s alarming behavior. In a bid for public assistance, investigators have released a photo of the suspect, hoping it will jog memories of potential victims.
