Gervonta Davis Arrested in Miami on Kidnapping, Battery Charges

Former world champion Gervonta Davis was taken into custody in Miami on Wednesday, roughly two weeks after an arrest warrant was issued in connection with a domestic violence investigation, according to a report first published by TMZ.

Davis’ arrest follows a two-week search involving the Miami Gardens Police Department and the U.S. Marshals Service. Authorities have not disclosed how Davis was ultimately located.

The 30-year-old boxer is facing charges of battery, false imprisonment, and attempted kidnapping stemming from an alleged incident involving an ex-girlfriend at a Miami-area gentleman’s club, where the woman was employed as a waitress.
