Prosecutors Drop Domestic Battery Case Against Gervonta Davis

Withdrawal of the victim’s complaint prompted prosecutors to drop the charges.

Overview

  • At a scheduled arraignment on August 12, prosecutors told Judge Elisabeth María Espinosa Marin they would take no action and the court formally terminated the misdemeanor battery case.
  • The June 15 incident involved Davis allegedly striking his ex-girlfriend in the back of the head and slapping her in the face during an argument over picking up their children.
  • A subpoenaed witness—the alleged victim’s mother—failed to appear for a pre-file conference, undercutting the state’s ability to proceed.
  • Davis was arrested July 11 in Miami Beach, booked into Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center and released later that day on a $10,000 bond.
  • The dismissal arrives as Davis continues his probation for a 2020 Baltimore hit-and-run conviction, underscoring persistent legal scrutiny.
