As we previously reported, boxing star Gervonta Davis was sentenced 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 t 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.”
Davis was looking at a maximum of 50 months in the slammer if found guilty on all remaining charges in the case. Luckily he doesn’t have to face that.
Davis’ sentencing took place less than two weeks after his seventh-round knockout win against Ryan Garcia in a Showtime Pay-Per-View main event on April 22. The undefeated Davis has already fought twice this year, including the highest-profile fight of his 10-year professional career last month. Despite his legal problems, the length of his home confinement is not expected to prevent Davis (29-0, 27 KOs) from fighting a third time later this year.
