Boxing star Gervonta Davis was taken into custody Thursday after a court hearing and taken to Baltimore City’s central accounting reception facility, a spokeswoman for the Baltimore City Sheriff’s Office told ESPN.
Davis was serving a 90-day house arrest sentence at the home of his trainer Calvin Ford. That sentence was imposed last month after the fighter pleaded guilty to four counts stemming from a hit-and-run accident in November 2020 that injured four people , including a pregnant woman.
Davis’ attorney Michael Tomko told several Baltimore media outlets that Davis was taken into custody during an “impromptu” hearing late Thursday afternoon. The sheriff’s office spokeswoman declined to provide ESPN with further details.
Davis, 28, was also sentenced to three years probation and 200 hours of community service last month. The verdict came less than two weeks after Davis scored a seventh-round TKO victory over Ryan Garcia in the biggest fight of his career.
Davis, a Baltimore native, was also charged with domestic violence assault, but prosecutors in Broward County, Florida dropped the case last week after the accuser said she did not want to press charges.
