Suspect wanted on grand theft charge
Volusia County deputies are looking for a man who gave both women he was dating a fake name, stole from them and took rings from one of his girlfriends to propose to his other girlfriend.
The love triangle began to unravel earlier this year when an Orange City woman realized her boyfriend was engaged to another woman who lives in Orlando.
The Orange City girlfriend looked through the fiancée’s Facebook page and saw she was wearing her wedding band and engagement ring from a prior marriage, records show. The Orange City woman checked her jewelry box and discovered her old wedding rings were missing along with several other pieces of jewelry and a diamond ring that belonged to her grandmother, according to the report.
Deputies said all in all, $6,270 worth of jewelry was stolen from the Orange City girlfriend.
She then confronted her boyfriend about the thefts and began communicating with the Orlando fiancée so she could get her jewelry back since both relationships were now over due to the infidelity, records show.
The man told the women his name was “Marcus Brown” or “Joe Brown” but really his name was Joseph L. Davis, a convicted felon who is wanted on a hit-and-run charge out of Oregon.
The Orlando fiancée also said that Davis had fooled her. One day, he took her to the Orange City girlfriend’s home while that woman was at work and claimed the house was his and he wanted the Orlando fiancée to move in with him, according to the report.
The fiancée packed up her apartment and disassembled her furniture but before she could move, Davis told her the deal on the house had fallen through.
Deputies said Davis stole a laptop and jewelry from his fiancée after he moved out and disappeared.
The women, who both met Davis on OkCupid, teamed up and went to detectives to provide photos in hopes of learning his true identity.
Investigators searched databases and shared photos of Davis with other law enforcement agencies to try to find a match but they came up short until the fiancée remembered that Davis had a niece in North Carolina and she happened to have the name and address for that relative.
Deputies said they tracked down that woman, who was actually Davis’ sister, and that led them to discover his true identity.
As of now, his whereabouts are unknown.
He’s wanted on a felony grand theft charge out of Volusia County as well as the hit-and-run warrant out of Oregon. His prior arrests include possession of fictitious ID, filing a false police report, domestic assault and possession of cocaine with intent to sell.
He has “Only God can judge me” tattooed on his left arm.
Anyone with information about Davis’ whereabouts is asked to call the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office at 386-668-3830 and ask for Detective Wheeler.
I’ve never heard this. Who was Yoko cheating on him with?
He ran a stolen ring ring?
Only God can judge him, but something tells me a jealous boyfriend, or irate ex will send him there.
Or Cramer.
They reported that like it’s a bad thing.
I don't know names, but it was multiple men. In 1973 she started to divorce him, so she could marry he lover, but whoever he was, he didn't want to marry her. That's when she foisted May Pang on him.
Then, like I said, she moved her then current lover into the Dakota the next day.
Hey.....from a certain point of view it might be seen as efficient use of resources. :)
This story is timely, with VD (Valentine’s Day) coming up tomorrow.
Sam Havadtoy was the man Ono was with from 1978, until 2000. He was 28 when Lennon died, and apparently would sometimes wear Lennon’s clothes.
Yoko’s boyfriend wore John’s suit to John’s funeral.
Why is this a news story? Did he do something wrong?
Somehow, you just knew.
His prior arrests include possession of fictitious ID,

He must be an American citizen...
They dont arrest illegal aliens for that same crime...
This is the first I’ve heard of this.
I’ve long suspected that Yoko arranged John’s murder. This info really heightens my suspicions.
No pics of the Women involved.
I wonder if this is a another case of Stupid White Girl Syndrome?
Sounds like a real catch.
With all the crappy news in the world, I always like a good Florida Man story. It warms my heart.
LOL! He's helping the environment by recycling.
There have been stories on the internet about Yoko’s boyfriend and how Yoko arranged for an affair with an Asian woman. Maybe it was on Crazy Days and Crazy Nights. If I run across a link I’ll FRemail it to you.
