Gervonta Davis was reportedly detained after less than a month of 3-month house arrest

Gervonta Davis is reportedly on his way to jail, less than a month after he appeared to avoid jail after pleading guilty in a hit-and-run case.

The lightweight boxing star was taken into custody by Baltimore sheriffs’ deputies after a court hearing Thursday, where Judge Althea Handy ordered Davis to serve the remainder of his three-month house arrest in jail, according to The Guardian. Baltimore Banner.

The exact reason for the hearing remains unclear, but Davis’ attorney described it as Banner’s “improvisation”. There is currently nothing official about the hearing in online court records.

Davis was serving his house arrest at his coach Calvin Ford’s home in Baltimore, where Handy had previously dismissed the idea that he was serving the sentence at his home in Florida.

Gervonta Davis pleaded guilty to four misdemeanors

Two months ago, he pleaded guilty to four misdemeanor counts stemming from a 2020 hit-and-run that injured four people in Baltimore.

Davis was judged less than a month after he picked up the biggest win of his boxing career, a seventh-round win over Ryan Garcia that catapulted him into the upper echelons of the pound-for-pound ratings. He remains one of the most exciting rookies in the boxing world, but a series of legal issues cropping up even in the boxing world have been troubling him over the past few years.
