In April of 2008, MLFTF Investigators began searching for Waters based on an April of 2007 incident when he brutally attacked a female victim causing broken bones. A second set of warrants were issued for an incident on June 1, 2008, when Waters broke into a residence and hid in the victim’s bedroom under a bed until the victim returned home. Once the victim entered the bedroom, Waters threatened her with a hammer and knife, before attacking her with his fists and leaving her unconscious. Waters then smashed the windows of her vehicle with a hammer and fled the scene. A third incident occurred on June 8, 2008, when Baton Rouge Police Detectives say that Waters shot a man five time in the back, then stood over him and attempted to shoot him again. The weapon malfunctioned and Waters again fled the scene. MLFTF Investigators obtained information that Waters was hiding out in Mississippi, but a tip from Crime Stoppers led them to a residence in Baton Rouge. MLFTF Investigators responded to the house, located Waters, and arrested him without incident.
