Spence, broner, davis... good thing Al is in boxing and not nascar

[gregregegg]

fornicate if I were him I’d be making that Ryan Garcia fight ASAP... take the bad split even get paid now..

Obviously won’t do 7+ Years. But could do a stint. I mean you get anyone that’s seen that footage of him dragging his missus around that basketball game they probably won’t be too sympathetic.

Don’t know if tanks career would handle a prison sentence too well it’s already been prone to stalling.

[Jeff_lacy_ko]

He MIGHT do a month or so.

the cops just out to get a brutha mang

Tank has been arrested a bunch but I don’t think crime charges have stuck yet. Punching a friend at a boxing gym who pressed charges (charges got dropped, mabey paid?)

Fight on the street, arrested but I don’t know if there were charges.

Domestic battery at the basketball game.

This hit and run. Can the people hit drop charges? Or cause it’s traffic offence it’s the state charging him. I’m no lawyer...

If he walks completely free again when half of prison is filled with people that had a gram of weed... if I’m ever in trouble I might give als legal team a call they seem redhot.

Pretty sure it's a traffic offence. But it varies from state to state in the US.
IIRC in most crimes the victim can drop the charges but the state can still decide to pursue the case.

This one could have some teeth.
Why was his license suspended?

Why his license was revoked doesn't really matter, the fact that Davis has now proven he has no intention of following the law probably matters.

In some states a hit and run with no injuries is a misdemeanor, a hit and run with injuries is a felony.
I don't know the law in Maryland but he has four counts against him.

For all the charges that have been put on him I don’t see anything about dangerous / reckless driving which would seem the most important thing, after all if he wasn’t driving like a tool through red lights none of this would have happened. Don’t know if it differs in the states, but that what would sink him over here (UK)

[cormack]

The guys a pratt who thinks he is such a big shot and therefore untouchable .
I hope he gets clink

[Ruthless-RKO]

He’s just a shït driver..

[JxhDel.]

He has another case pending...

[Evander]

Tank should be careful, sure he may dodge a lot of charges, pay some people off and stay on the out for now.
However, if you keep running around with an attitude which eventually results in a charge with a stiff sentence he could well blow his entire career.
His inner circle need to have a private chat with him and advise him accordingly, we have seen this happen to fighters many times before, he needs to smarten up immediately.

[Verdi]

'Hit and run' style. Looks like Mayweather has taught him well.

A friend and co worker was telling me about this yesterday. Wow sorry to hear. This guy has talent but it is a shame if he is guilty of this. His career will be put on hold and possibly be ended. It is really too bad.

His license is suspended, he's not legally allowed to drive at all.
The accident could not have happened if he did not decide to ignore the suspension.

I was looking at the MD sentencing guidelines, and they are based on the federal system. I didnt find anything that prohibits stacking misdemeanors for more than one year, which is the case in my home state and many others, but it might have been there. I didn’t look long. May take a longer look at all of this this weekend and follow up with my opinion on his likely sentence. Often these “press releases” are not super accurate.
