The below individual surrendered himself, to the Coral Gables police detectives assigned to the case.”

In a since deleted social media post, Davis denied any wrongdoing after the video was posted.

“I never once hit her, yea I was aggressive and told her come on... that’s the mother of my child I would never hurt her other than that happy New Years.. January was trash.”

The Baltimore native has had several legal issues over the years. In 2017, Davis was arrested for the aggravated assault of a friend, and he was also arrested the following year for his involvement in a street fight in Washington, D.C.
