A Baltimore judge on Tuesday recalled an arrest warrant for boxer Gervonta \u201cTank\u201d Davis that was based on allegations he had violated his probation in a 2020 hit-and-run<\/a> that injured four people, including a pregnant woman.<\/p>\n

Circuit Judge Althea Handy on Feb. 2 issued the arrest warrant<\/a> for Davis, less than one week after the Miami Gardens Police Department and a U.S. Marshals Service fugitive task force took him into custody<\/a> on charges of battery, false imprisonment and attempted kidnapping. He posted bond in that case.<\/p>\n

Davis, 31, now of Parkland, Florida, is accused of assaulting his ex-girlfriend<\/a> Courtney Rossel on Oct. 27, 2025, at a popular gentlemen\u2019s club in Miami, where she had been working as a VIP cocktail waitress.<\/p>\n

Hunter Pruette, Davis\u2019 attorney, had asked Handy to recall the arrest warrant and instead issue a summons to appear in court and order GPS monitoring.<\/p>\n

Assistant State\u2019s Attorney David Owens, chief of the Misdemeanor Jury Trial Unit, did not oppose the request.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thankful the court recalled the warrant,\u201d Pruette said. \u201cMr. Davis remains compliant and will continue to appear as required.\u201d<\/p>\n

Davis has appeared before Handy multiple times during the past several years.<\/p>\n

In 2023, Handy sentenced<\/a> Davis to 90 days of home detention and three years\u2019 probation in the hit-and-run.<\/p>\n

But Handy later ordered Davis to immediately be taken into custody<\/a> after learning that he had been serving his sentence at a Four Seasons Hotel and a $3.4 million penthouse condo<\/a>. He was released after serving more than six weeks in jail<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She allowed him to travel to the 2024 Paris Olympic Games to \u201csupport and advise\u201d Team USA boxing<\/a> but rejected his request to go to Tokyo for his 30th birthday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Then in 2025, Handy spared Davis additional jail time<\/a> after his probation agent spotted him eating dinner at Proper Cuisine on East Redwood Street near South Calvert Street in Baltimore \u2014 a few blocks from the Clarence M. Mitchell Jr. and Elijah E. Cummings courthouses.<\/p>\n

The problem: Davis had not received permission to travel from Florida to Maryland.<\/p>\n

Handy extended his probation by 18 months and directed him to make a $10,000 donation to the Community Assistance Network.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t like sending anyone to jail, sir. I really don\u2019t,\u201d Handy told Davis. \u201cBut you need to wake up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Davis grew up in West Baltimore and has a professional boxing record of 30-0-1. He was the World Boxing Association lightweight champion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Baltimore judge on Tuesday recalled an arrest warrant for boxer Gervonta \u201cTank\u201d Davis that was based on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":467598,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-467597","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/467597","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=467597"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/467597\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/467598"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=467597"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=467597"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=467597"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
