BSO reported the arrest of boxer Gervonta Davis last night for domestic violence.
Davis is being bailed out of jail after posting a $1k bond.
We now have more details on what he is being accused of doing.
Gervonta Davis allegedly struck a woman on the right side of her head with a “closed hand type slap,” leading to his arrest Tuesday afternoon in Florida, according to a Broward County Sheriff’s Office incident report.
According to the incident report, the woman, who doesn’t live with Davis and whose name was redacted, suffered a small abrasion to the inside of her upper lip on the right side of her mouth.
The 135-pound boxer was arrested at 2:50 p.m. ET Tuesday in Parkland, Florida, and jailed on a misdemeanor domestic violence charge of battery causing bodily harm, according to Broward County Sheriff’s Office records.
Davis remains in custody following a Wednesday morning court hearing, where bond was set at $1,000, a jail official said.
Davis also is set to appear in Baltimore Circuit Court on Feb. 16 for his alleged involvement in a hit-and-run crash in November 2020, according to court records. Davis is accused of fleeing the scene of a crash that involved four people, including a pregnant woman. He is facing 14 charges, including failure to immediately return and remain at the scene of an accident involving bodily injury. He is facing a lawsuit as well.
He previously faced misdemeanor charges in Coral Gables, Florida, in February 2020, in which he had been accused of battering an ex-girlfriend. That case was discharged Dec. 13, according to court records.
Davis was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time. Showtime and the PBC have not released a statement or comment on Davis’ latest arrest. His fight against Hector Garcia is in jeopardy.
