underwood-david-allen-iiThe Waynesboro Police Department arrested a Waynesboro man on several charges after he had avoided capture for over seven months.

Police officers found David Allen Underwood II, 33 years old, early Saturday morning staying at his girlfriend’s house on 2nd Street.  An anonymous tipster gave officers his whereabouts so they were able to find him as he was sleeping clad only in undergarments.

Since late February, officers had tracked Underwood to West Virginia but were unable to arrest him.  At some point he returned to Waynesboro and had been hiding in residences in the city’s Philippines neighborhood for several weeks.  However, at around3:00 AM Saturday, October 8, officers arrested him without incident.

Underwood was arrested on the following charges –

  • Burglary (f)
  • Grand Larceny (f)
  • Obtain Money by False Pretenses (m)
  • Shoplifting (m)
  • Capias/Failure to Appear for Trial (m)
  • Capias/Probation Violations (f)

The burglary and felony theft charges stem from a stolen power tools case in April 2016.  Underwood was also wanted for shoplifting from Walmart in February 2016.

He is being held at Middle River Regional Jail without bond.
