Clarksville, TN – Investigators with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office led by Sergeant William Wall apprehended Cemage Darquez Garrard at approximately 3:00pm this afternoon, November 25th, 2017 at an apartment in the 700 block of Main Street.

Garrard was initially apprehended on Friday by bonding agents and brought to the warrants office at the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office.
While deputies worked on processing his paperwork, he fled on foot from the warrants office.
Multiple agencies responded and assisted in searching for Garrard late yesterday afternoon without any luck. Deputies and investigators with the Sheriff’s Office worked throughout the night and into today to locate him.
