DORAL, Fla. — The Miami-Dade County State Attorney’s Office has dropped a battery charge against boxer Gervonta Davis related to a June incident involving his ex-girlfriend in Doral, Local 10 learned Monday.
Davis, 30, was arrested July 11, although the alleged incident was said to have occurred on June 15.
According to police, Davis and the victim were in a romantic relationship for about four years and share two children.
Police said Davis went to the victim’s home to pick up their children for Father’s Day, but a verbal altercation between him and the victim ensued, which escalated to a physical altercation.
According to the report, Davis told his ex-girlfriend to remove their children from his car as he no longer intended to take them, but when she leaned forward to retrieve their daughter from the backseat, Davis struck her in the back of the head and then slapped her in the face, causing a minor cut to the inner area of her lip.
Police said the victim then sent a text message to her mother, informing her that Davis was assaulting her and asking her to come outside.
The victim’s mother then exited the residence and saw her daughter visibly distressed and crying while arguing with Davis, the report stated.
According to the report, the victim’s mother filmed part of the altercation on her cellphone, which showed Davis throwing a small box at the victim.
According to a closeout memo dated Friday, the woman and her attorney spoke with an assistant state attorney on Aug. 11 and confirmed that she did not wish to press charges against Davis and said she was not in fear of him.
She declined to provide prosecutors with a statement regarding the alleged battery and said she was not being threatened or coerced into not testifying against him, nor was she promised anything by anyone to not proceed with the case, the memo stated.
According to the memo, due to the alleged victim no longer cooperating with the investigation, the state did not have enough evidence to prosecute.
