Baltimore judge issues arrest warrant for Gervonta Davis over alleged probation violation after Florida arrest

Warrant centers on Davis’ Maryland probation tied to a 2020 Baltimore hit-and-run case

A Baltimore circuit court judge has issued an arrest warrant for professional boxer Gervonta “Tank” Davis, citing an alleged violation of probation connected to his Maryland sentence in a 2020 hit-and-run case.

The warrant follows Davis’ recent arrest in South Florida in a separate matter. The sequence of events has raised the prospect of parallel proceedings in two jurisdictions: an alleged probation violation in Maryland and a criminal case in Florida involving allegations of domestic violence.

What the Maryland case involves

Davis has been serving probation stemming from a November 2020 crash in Baltimore in which four people were injured. In that case, he received a sentence that included a period of home detention, multi-year probation, and community service. Court records and prior reporting on the case reflect that Davis previously served jail time after violating terms of his home detention.

In Maryland, probation violations can result in a judge ordering a defendant to appear in court, modifying supervision conditions, or imposing additional incarceration up to the limits available under the original sentence. The newly issued warrant indicates the court is seeking Davis’ custody to address the alleged noncompliance.

Florida allegations and the timeline leading up to the warrant

The Baltimore warrant was issued after Davis was taken into custody in South Florida on allegations of domestic violence. The Florida matter has involved allegations tied to an incident dated Oct. 27, 2025, at a Miami-area venue. Law enforcement in that case pursued charges that include battery and alleged restraint of the complainant.

Davis was later released on bond in Florida with court-ordered conditions that included no contact with the complainant. The Maryland warrant was issued shortly afterward, with the alleged probation violation tied to the Maryland supervision terms rather than the Florida case itself.

What happens next

Because the warrant was issued in Maryland while Davis faces proceedings in Florida, the next steps may depend on whether he is taken into custody and how authorities coordinate across state lines. If arrested on the Maryland warrant outside the state, the process can involve extradition proceedings and potential transport to Maryland for a court appearance.

• Maryland court: expected to address whether probation was violated and what sanction, if any, should be imposed.
• Florida court: expected to proceed separately on the pending criminal allegations and any related court dates.

Davis is presumed innocent of criminal allegations unless and until proven guilty in court.

Davis, a Baltimore native and one of boxing’s most prominent fighters in recent years, has faced multiple legal matters over time. The current warrant adds a new legal exposure in Maryland alongside his ongoing Florida case.
