SPRINGFIELD -- A Springfield man charged with shooting a woman after she gave him a fake $20 bill is facing a probation violation hearing for an earlier firearms case.

Samuel Davis, 26, was ordered held on $30,000 bail last month after pleading not guilty to assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a building.

Davis and two others, Raequese Wright, 19, and Artwain Davis, 26, both of Springfield, were arrested on March 19 after a woman was shot at 51 Fort Pleasant Ave., Assistant District Attorney Carrie Kenniston said.

The victim, who is 23, gave one of the suspects a counterfeit $20 bill before being shot in the buttocks, Kenniston said. The victim and the suspects likely were involved in a drug deal, but "that doesn't warrant being shot," the prosecutor said.

The new charges come 16 months after Samuel Davis pleaded guilty to two counts of distribution of crack cocaine, possession of a firearm without a FID card and possession of ammunition without a FID card.

That case began when Springfield narcotics detectives seized crack cocaine, a firearm and ammunition during a raid on 51 Fort Pleasant Ave., court records show.

Davis was given a 30-month jail sentence, with 12 months to be served direct, and the balance suspended. Following his release, Davis was required to avoid further legal trouble, submit to drug testing and report regularly to a probation officer, among other conditions.

At a probation officer's request, Judge William Boyle last week found probable cause that Davis' new arrest violated his probation in the 2016 case.

Boyle ordered the defendant held without right to bail for a violation hearing on May 3. Under the judge's ruling, Davis cannot be released on the new charges even if he posts $30,000 bail.

If a probation violation is found, Davis could be sentenced to the 18 months that was suspended as part of his original sentence.
