Greenwich personal trainer sues former client after she has him arrested

BRIDGEPORT - A Florida personal trainer claims in a lawsuit that he was falsely accused of kidnapping by Greenwich police and held for more than a week in prison.

[So] states a lawsuit filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Bridgeport by Darnell Davis of Miami Beach, Fla., against Greenwich Police Officer Ryan Carino and Greenwich residents David and Zhanna Zervos.

The 43-year-old Davis was charged in December 2018 with strangulation, third-degree assault and unlawful restraint in Greenwich — all of which were later dismissed.

However, Davis’ lawyer, Robert Berke, said that his client in the meantime spent eight days in a North Carolina jail and 27 hours in prison here until he was released.

According to a press release at the time, Davis was accused of kidnapping and assaulting Zhanna Zervos in her home on Orchard Hill Lane in Greenwich on Aug. 15, 2018. But the lawsuit states that, in fact, on that day Davis was traveling around Europe with Zhanna Zervos and having a sexual affair with her.

Her husband, David Zervos, later discovered the affair after seeing photographs of the couple on Instagram, the lawsuit said, and threatened divorce.

The couple made up the criminal allegations against Davis with Officer Carino, who “drafted his arrest warrant affidavit with reckless disregard for the truth,” the lawsuit states.

Davis was arrested by warrant on Nov.15, 2018 in Mecklenburg County, N.C.

Allegations in a civil lawsuit are, of course, just that: unproved claims. Still, there’s the matter of all charges being dropped, and one of the defendants’ Instagram page does indicate a personal familiarity with Europe.
