Police in Florida are searching for a man who stole an engagement ring and wedding bands from one girlfriend and then used them to propose to another girlfriend, a police statement said.

Volusia County Sheriff’s deputies issued an arrest warrant for Joseph Davis, 48, who is suspected of stealing the engagement ring and wedding bands from his girlfriend. One girlfriend knows him as “Joe Brown,” while the other knows him as “Marcus Brown,” the police statement said. Police have not determined his whereabouts as of Friday.

Earlier in the year, Davis’ girlfriend in Orange City approached police and told them that she discovered her boyfriend was engaged to someone else. While searching Davis’ fiancée’s Facebook page, she saw a picture of the woman wearing an engagement ring and wedding band that looked like her own from a previous marriage, according to police.

She checked her jewelry box to see if the rings were still there, and they were missing along with several other pieces of jewelry that had a value of approximately $6,270.

The victim confronted her boyfriend about the rings, and began talking to the fiancée. She was able to get some of her jewelry back.

Both of the relationships ended because of Davis’ infidelity, and the two women began to cooperate with detectives.

The fiancée said that Davis, who she knew as Joe Brown, had brought her to the other woman’s house while she was at work, and claimed it was his own. He had asked the fiancée to move in with him. The fiancée told detectives that she had packed her furniture and apartment and was ready to move in, until he told her the deal fell through, according to police.

After Brown moved out and disappeared, the fiancée reported a laptop and jewelry that were missing. 

Both women said they met Davis on OkCupid, a dating app, in 2015 and 2016, but he had not used his real name. Police were unable to track him until one of the women remembered the name and address of a relative Davis had, which led to his identification.

Davis has an active arrest warrant in Oregon for a hit and run crash, and was previously arrested for using a fake ID and domestic assault, among other offenses. A jail booking record noted that he has a tattoo that reads “Only God can judge me,” which both women said Davis had.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
