Gervonta Davis went live on Instagram today and spoke from jail to explain his side of the story after the boxer ended up in the slammer for violating house arrest.
According to Davis he feels like the judge is taking advantage of him. “This judge is crazy dog. Basically I bought a property I did everything in my power to listen to my lawyers. She’s mad that I bought a property that’s why I’m sitting in jail. She said she wanted me to be in an apartment, a one bedroom apartment and my kids couldn’t come visit me and things like that. I just wanted to shed light on this situation because I just feel like she’s taking advantage of me and she’s doing stuff that’s not right to me. The things that she’s doing right now is not right so I had to shed light on this situation.” He said.

As we previously reported, Davis was taken into custody Thursday less than a month after he was sentenced to 90 days of house arrest from a November 2020 hit-and-run, according to Fox News.
The judge sentenced the boxer to 90 days of home detention, three years of probation, and 200 hours of community service for his hit-and-run accident.
When the incident first occurred Davis was driving his 2020 Lamborghini Urus SUV with two other passengers at around 1:53am on November 5, 2020 when he allegedly ran a red light. He reportedly struck a 2004 Toyota Solara and crashed into the fence of a 7-Eleven at the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr and Washington boulevards in the city’s Ridgely’s Delight neighborhood. Davis reportedly helped an unidentified woman out of the passenger seat of his Lamborghini but left the scene of the accident before authorities arrived. Davis had pled guilty on February 16 to four counts stemming from the incident last year.

Davis had pled guilty on February 16 to four counts stemming from the incident last year. Online court records showed that Davis was driving on a revoked license at the time of the crash.
Initially, Baltimore circuit judge Melissa M Phinn rejected a deal that would have allowed him to serve 60 days of unsupervised home detention after one of the people who was injured, Jyair Smith, spoke out against him. “I begged Mr. Gervonta Davis, I looked him in his eyes,” Smith said. “I said, ‘I have to get home to my daughter, I’m pregnant.’ He never once came over to help me.”
