Gervonta 'Tank' Davis' domestic violence charge dropped in South Florida
MIAMI (AP) — A misdemeanor battery case in South Florida against professional boxer Gervonta 'Tank' Davis was dropped Tuesday, a month after his arrest on the domestic violence charge. The online docket for Miami-Dade County's clerk of court showed that the charge was dropped and the case closed. Davis, 30, was picked up shortly after midnight on July 11 near the popular Lincoln Road area of Miami Beach. Davis and his vehicle information had been added to a law enforcement database, and a license plate reader set up in Miami Beach flagged his car. Miami Beach police made the initial stop and then turned Davis over to Doral police. He was later released on a $10,000 bond. The charge was connected to a report made in June by Davis' former domestic partner in Doral, a residential city in western Miami-Dade. According to a police report, the mother of his two children said Davis struck the back of her head and slapped her during an argument while she was taking one of their children out of his car. Davis, who is from Baltimore, is in the regular conversation for best pound-for-pound boxer. The WBA lightweight champion won his first 30 bouts, 28 by knockout, with his devastating punching power drawing sellouts crowds from New York to Washington to Las Vegas.

Miami Beach foot pursuit ends with suspect struck by police SUV, video shows
A surveillance video obtained by CBS News Miami shows a man being struck by a Miami Beach police SUV and tackled during an arrest Friday morning, following a reported disturbance near Collins Avenue. The video, recorded around 7 a.m. near 9th Street and Collins Avenue, shows Jeremy Stafford, 30, running from Miami Beach police. As he steps off the sidewalk into the street, he is struck by a marked police vehicle. The footage shows Stafford losing his balance from the impact and falling to the ground. He is then seen attempting to get up—his shorts falling down in the process—before being tackled to the ground by an officer. Additional officers are seen quickly joining in the arrest. Police say man was intoxicated and combative According to a statement from the Miami Beach Police Department, officers had responded to a violent disturbance near the 800 block of Collins Avenue and encountered Stafford, who they said appeared "highly intoxicated," displayed "aggressive behavior" and refused to follow commands. Police said that when officers attempted to arrest him, Stafford "assumed a combative stance and fled on foot." Authorities said a department-issued Taser was deployed but was ineffective. Stafford then ran into oncoming traffic and collided with the marked police SUV, according to the statement. Despite the impact, police said he continued to resist arrest until he was taken into custody. Facing multiple charges According to police records, Stafford was charged with battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest with violence, resisting arrest without violence and consuming alcohol in public. Bond amounts range from $150 to $2,500, with one bond listed as "to be set." Police also confirmed that Stafford is a suspect in an ongoing sexual battery investigation.
