Specialized Investigations detectives last night arrested a 21-year-old with several outstanding warrants related to a 2022 aggravated assault with family members. Markavious Battle was wanted after he threatened three people with a handgun before physically assaulting one of them last October.
He fled the scene. Battle was named in warrants charging him with three counts of aggravated assault, vandalism, aggravated criminal trespassing, probation violation and being a felon in possession of a weapon.
Battle was seen Wednesday by detectives in the passenger seat of his Chevrolet Malibu on Linbar Drive conducting alleged narcotics transactions.
He and the driver were taken into custody. Methamphetamines, cocaine, marijuana and a Glock handgun were recovered at the scene.
Battle was booked in on his outstanding warrants as well as additional gun and drug charges. He is currently being held on $300,000 bond.
Battle was on probation after a juvenile aggravated robbery charge was taken to criminal court. He was sentenced in January 2022 to eight years probation.
