40-year-old Christopher James Davis was sentenced to 25 years with the first 12 years to be served in prison on March 20, 2025.

WARNER ROBINS, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – A Warner Robins man has been sentenced to 25 years after pleading guilty to aggravated assault and exploitation and intimidation of an elderly person, according to Houston County District Attorney Eric Edwards.

40-year-old Christopher James Davis was sentenced to 25 years with the first 12 years to be served in prison on March 20, 2025. Davis entered a guilty plea to the offenses of aggravated assault and exploitation and intimidation of an elderly person.

On October 18, 2024, Davis, without provocation, approached a 65-year-old homeless woman in a public area after midnight. He began yelling at her aggressively, using profanity and threatening language.

According to the news release, Davis walked away from her for a few minutes but then returned, striking the victim with his hands and feet and hitting her with a metal pole.

The DA’s office says the victim was found a few hours later by a concerned citizen, and law enforcement and medical personnel were called.

District Attorney Eric Edwards released the following statement:

“This case is a reminder that justice belongs to everyone, regardless of their circumstances. No one should have to endure the kind of senseless violence that the victim in this case endured, and our office will continue to hold accountable those who prey on the most vulnerable members of society. I want to personally commend Detective Karmen Thompson for her outstanding work on this case. Karmen has built a reputation as one of the most thorough, relentless, and compassionate investigators in our justice system. Her dedication ensures that victims—no matter their situation in life—are seen, heard, and fought for. This outcome would not have been possible without her efforts, and our community is safer because of it.”

Chief Assistant District Attorney Greg Winters released the following statement:

“This case highlights the importance of protecting all citizens from both physical and emotional harm. No one, no matter their stature in the community, deserves to be treated in the way Christopher Davis treated this victim. The District Attorney’s Office is committed to ensuring justice is served and that those who prey on vulnerable victims are held accountable for their actions.”
