    An Exeter man was extradited back to Barry County on warrants from April after a Governor’s warrant was issued.
Martin Davis, 39, of Exeter, was being held in the Boone County, Ark., jail, according to Barry County Sheriff’s Office, but he refused extradition back to Missouri and it took a governor’s warrant to get him back. Boone County, Ark., Jail held Davis on the outstanding warrants from Barry County from April.
    Davis is charged with tampering with a witness, harassment, two counts of stealing a firearm, making a false report and property damage in the first degree. He was also charged with domestic assault in the third degree from March.
    According to the affidavits of probable cause, Davis filled out a statement with the Barry County Sheriff’s Office that a woman had assaulted him with a knife, damaged property and stolen firearms from a safe belonging to another person in late March. When interviewed, the woman said that the firearms were in Davis’s possession in his home in Arkansas. The woman then drove to his residence and took them to the Sheriff’s Office, according to the report.
    Then, on April 10, Davis called the woman and threatened her about the case against him for the firearm thefts and false report, according to the court documents. Davis allegedly threatened the woman’s life and told her to get the charges dropped against him.
    Davis is being held in the Barry County Jail in lieu of a $70,000 bond.
