It would be nice if the self proclaim face of boxing could stay out of trouble.
Gervonta Davis caught a break when the judge sentenced him to house arrest on a hit-and-run incident that left several injured, including a pregnant woman.
Davis will now be spending the rest of 90-day sentence in jail after he violated his house arrest order per the Baltimore Banner.
Boxing champ Gervonta “Tank” Davis was taken into custody at Baltimore Central Booking on Thursday, less than a month after he was ordered to serve three months of home detention for a hit-and-run crash.
Sheriff Sam Cogen confirmed that sheriff’s deputies had taken Davis into custody following a court hearing, and that Judge Althea Handy had ordered Davis to serve the remainder of his sentence in jail.
Online court records show no indication of a court hearing or violation of his sentence.
Davis’ attorney Michael Tomko confirmed there was an “impromptu hearing” held at 5 p.m. and that Davis was ordered to serve out the rest of his 90-day sentence in jail. He declined further comment.
Davis, 28, was sentenced May 5 after pleading guilty last year to being involved in a hit-and-run crash in 2020 that injured four people, including a pregnant woman. Handy ordered him to serve 90 days of home detention at the residence of his trainer Calvin Ford.
He also has been ordered to perform 200 hours of community service, complete a program at the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center at the University of Maryland and take part in a Mothers Against Drunk Driving victim impact panel.
Davis likely wasn’t going to be back in the ring until the fall, but this might push that back even further since any training that he can do will be behind bars.
The judge or Davis’ lawyer would comment on what caused him to violate his house arrest.
