Gervonta Davis received 90 days of house arrest for causing an accident and then running away


Gervonta Davis will serve 90 days of house arrest for a 2020 runaway accident in his hometown of Baltimore, according to multiple reports.

The lightweight candidate received a sentence of more than two years in prison on Friday but the sentence was suspended, meaning he won’t have to be behind bars if he meets other requirements. He also received 200 hours of community service and three years of probation from Judge Althea M. Handy at the Baltimore City Circuit Court.

Handy allowed Davis to avoid a prison sentence, though she criticized his refusal to apologize to one of the people injured in the collision.

“Three words: ‘I’m sorry.’” she said, according to The Baltimore Banner. “And he’s not man enough to do that. … He showed no remorse at all.”

Davis is expected to be held in custody at the home of his trainer, Calvin Ford.

The undefeated boxer pleaded guilty last February to four of the 14 misdemeanors he was charged with, which allowed him to avoid a trial.

Four counts of leaving the scene of an accident that injured someone, failing to report property damage, driving without a valid license and running a red light, according to ESPN.

The accident happened in the early morning of November 5, 2020.

Davis is said to have left a restaurant in downtown Baltimore in a Lamborghini Urus SUV, following a police escort. However, he broke away from the convoy, ran a red light on Martin Luther King Jr Avenue. and crashed into a Toyota Solara, which one report said was “destroyed”.

Two people in the Lamborghini crashed into a fence after the collision and were injured, and are believed to have left the scene on foot. Police later determined that Davis was driving, citing witnesses and surveillance video.

Four adults were in the Toyota, all of whom were transported to a nearby hospital. The driver was clearly injured the most, though not to the extent that Davis was charged with a felony.

The woman’s attorney, Gil Amaral, told the Baltimore Sun that she suffered “fairly serious injuries” and experienced complications during her recovery.

“Fortunately, the victims in this case were able to survive the alleged collision with recoverable injuries despite the potential for a worst-case scenario,” the company said. State prosecutor Marilyn Mosby said in a statement at the time of the prosecution.

“My office will continue to do its part to hold reckless drivers accountable when their harmful actions put innocent lives at risk.”

Davis (29-0.27 KOs) knocked out Leo Santa Cruz in the sixth round just days before the crash. He has fought five times since, including knocking out Ryan Garcia in the seventh round in a climactic matchup on April 22.

Davis had some brushes with the law. Here is a timeline:

2017 — Arrested for assaulting a childhood friend but later charged.

2018 — Arrested and charged with disorderly conduct for his role in a street fight.

2019 – Arrested and charged with simple domestic violence after allegedly assaulting the mother of his child in Florida. Then she told her story.
