Gervonta Davis just scored a big win in court — he avoided a jail sentence in his hit-and-run case … getting hit with three months of house arrest instead.
The star boxer learned his fate inside of a Baltimore courtroom minutes ago … less than three months after he cut a plea deal with prosecutors in the case.
As part of the agreement he made with officials back on Feb. 16, Davis pleaded guilty to four lesser offenses … and at his sentencing hearing on Friday, a judge did not throw him behind bars, instead ordering him to serve 90 days of home detention. The 28-year-old fighter was also ordered to complete 200 hours of community service.
Davis was initially hit with 14 charges in the case back in March 2021 … after authorities alleged he ran a red light in his 2020 Lamborghini Urus and slammed it into a Toyota on Nov. 5, 2020 — just days after his big win over Leo Santa Cruz.
Prosecutors claimed a woman in the car that Davis hit was pregnant at the time of the wreck. They accused Davis of never offering her assistance before fleeing the scene.
If convicted on all of the charges, Davis had faced a potential maximum of 7 YEARS and 55 days in prison.
Davis, who just scored the biggest win of his boxing career in a fight with Ryan Garcia last month, ain’t out of the woods criminally just yet … even though he closed out the case in Baltimore on Friday — he still has a case lingering over his head in Broward County, Fla.
In that case, the boxer is facing a misdemeanor battery charge — stemming from allegations he roughed up a woman during a heated Dec. 27 argument. He’s due in court for a hearing on the matter later this month.
