On Monday, March 13, Kevin Davis also was found guilty of weapons offenses and resisting arrest, according to the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office.

Davis will be sentenced on April 18.

On October 3, 2019, members of the Atlantic City Police Department including Detectives Joseph Procopio and Innocenzo Visceglia executed a search warrant on a residence used by Davis to package fentanyl for sale.

In Davis’ bedroom, police recovered a substantial quantity of fentanyl, paraphernalia used to package and label fentanyl for sale, and a handgun loaded with a high-capacity ammunition magazine that contained various rounds of ammunition, including hollow point ammunition, authorities said.

Police attempted to take Davis into custody after he exited the front door of the home, but he fled from police officers on a bicycle for several blocks in Atlantic City until he was taken into custody. 

Over 100 folds of fentanyl packaged for sale were recovered when Davis was taken into custody near the Boys and Girls Club and the Pennsylvania Avenue School, which led to additional charges for possessing fentanyl with intent to distribute near a school and public park for which he was found guilty.

Davis faces up to life imprisonment.

He is currently held in the Atlantic County Justice Facility pending sentencing.
