MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — The 48-year-old unhappy customer accused of threatening a barber at gunpoint in Miami-Dade County is a convicted felon, and deputies described him as a “known violent offender,” records show.

Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputies identified the gunman who shouted threats -- despite the presence of children -- on Nov. 25 at Square Biz in Perrine as Darious Davis, records show.

“The defendant was in custody on today’s date regarding unrelated charges,” a M-DSO deputy wrote on Nov. 29, according to an arrest report claiming he worked for “Transit.”

Deputies arrested Davis after a traffic stop. Inmate records show corrections booked Davis on Nov. 28 on a charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and he remained at the Metrowest Detention Center on Monday morning.

Samuel Wilson, the owner of Square Biz, shared surveillance video of the attack on Nov. 25. He told deputies Davis was a customer for about a year, according to the arrest report.

“He wasn’t a man when he had that gun,” Wilson told Local 10 News. “He slapped me in the head with it, choked me out.”

Court records show Davis’s convictions include cocaine possession in 1993, armed robbery charges in 1993 and 1998, and burglary with assault in 1998.

Florida Department of Corrections records show he was in prison from March 1999 to October 2004; and from November 2006 to September 2017.

Court records show prosecutors filed the new case over the weapon’s possession charge on Nov. 29 and the case over the Nov. 25 attack on Nov. 30. Davis appeared in bond court on Nov. 29 and Nov. 30.

A judge ordered Davis to stay away from the victim and the Square Biz and ordered house arrest when released on bond, records show.

Davis faced four charges over the Nov. 25 attack: Aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, aggravated assault with a firearm, use of a firearm to commit a felony, and improper exhibition of a weapon.

The bond court judges allowed Davis’s release on his own recognizance for the charges of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and improper exhibition of a weapon. His bond for other charges was $35,000.

Inmate records show Davis had posted bond by Monday afternoon. Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge Zachary James was set to preside over the two new cases.
