Miami-Dade Prosecutors Drop Battery Case Against Gervonta Davis

The dismissal at his scheduled arraignment leaves unanswered questions about the prosecutors’ rationale in the domestic violence matter

Overview

  • Prosecutors informed Judge Elisabeth M. Espinosa Marin on August 12 that they would take no action and the one-count battery charge was dismissed
  • The case stemmed from a June 15 Doral police report in which Davis’s ex-girlfriend alleged he hit her in the back of the head and slapped her face, causing a cut on her lip
  • Davis was arrested by Miami Beach Police on July 11, booked into the Guilford Knight Correctional Center and released on a $10,000 bond
  • Neither the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office nor Davis’s attorney has publicly explained why the domestic battery case was dropped
  • The undefeated WBA lightweight champion remains on probation for a 2020 Baltimore hit-and-run that injured four people
