BALTIMORE — Baltimore boxing champion Gervonta Davis was taken into custody in a courtroom on Thursday because he didn't get permission from the judge to change his address.
Davis gave an address at sentencing where he was going to serve his home detention, but his lawyer indicated to the judge that home was too small for him and his security detail, according to a spokesperson from the State's Attorney's Office.
As a result, the boxing champion moved into the Four Seasons Hotel where he was being monitored by the GPS monitoring company. However, he didn't get permission from the judge to make this move.
About a week ago, he moved again into a home in Silo Point. He also didn't get permission to move there either.
This prompted the judge to order Davis to serve the remainder of his home detention sentence at the Baltimore City Detention Center.
Davis was initially sentenced to 90 days house arrest and three years probation for a 2020 hit and run crash that left four people injured in early May.

Last September Judge Melissa Phinn ordered Davis to stand trial after rejecting a plea deal offered by former State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby's office that would have required no jail time.
The circumstances prompted Davis to plead guilty back in February.
Prosecutors said Davis drove his Lamborghini through a red light, striking a Toyota at the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. and Washington Boulevards.
Area surveillance footage reportedly captured Davis colliding directly into a convenience store fence, before getting into a Camaro and fleeing the scene.
Online court records show Davis was driving on a revoked license at the time of the crash.
Davis was transferred over to Central Booking.
