Zavier Marquis Davis, the man shot by a CMPD officer responding to an armed robbery call at the Wendy’s on Park Road late Thursday night, was on parole for a September 2005 felony armed robbery conviction. In fact Davis, now in stable condition at CMC with gunshot wounds to his legs, faced nine felony armed robbery charges which were consolidated into one charge per standard Mecklenburg County criminal court system operation.
Davis, 25, also received probation on a 2002 misdemeanor B&E conviction. His latest charges are 2 counts of robbery with a dangerous weapon, 4 counts of kidnapping, and 1 count of possession of a firearm by a felon. His parole expires in November.
Update: The UPoR catches up to the story without once mentioning the “p” word. We are told that Davis was the subject of a 2007 UPoR story on being a career criminal. Priorities, you see.
