Inglis Police Chief: Inter-Local
Agreement Needed With CCSO
At the last Inglis Town meeting two representatives from the Citrus County Sher-
iff’s Office (CCSO) came before the Inglis Town Commission to answer any questions
about the recent escaped fugitive Terry Davis from the CCSO department
which set off a massive manhunt in Inglis lasting several days. Search
was by helicopter and on the ground included Inglis Police, Citrus and
Levy Deputies and Fish & Wildlife Commission (FWC).
The escapee, which eluded everyone including the FWC search dog while
stealing clothes, some money and a local cell phone, is long gone.
The Inglis Police Department (IPD) already has an inter-local
R&M
agreement with the Levy County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) where each de-
