Police: Man Out on Bond after Levitt Pavilion Arrest
Press Release
On July 29, 2022, at approximately 8:20 p.m., Westport Police officers responded to 40 Jesup Road, the Levitt Pavilion, on a report of a disturbance. There was a concert at the time, and one of the patrons was being unruly. This individual was identified as Everald Davis, Jr. Mr. Davis was allegedly standing on a table, was belligerent with event staff, and grabbing onto other guests. When an officer attempted to escort Mr. Davis from the premises, he purportedly became combative. He was safely detained and ultimately transported to the hospital for an evaluation as there was concern that he was under the influence of narcotics. A warrant for Mr. Davis’s arrest was completed and signed by a Superior Court judge.
On the evening of August 9, 2022, Mr. Davis turned himself in at the Westport Police Department. Per the warrant, he was charged with Breach of Peace and Interfering With an Officer. Mr. Davis was released after posting a $30,000.00 bond and is scheduled to be arraigned at Stamford Superior Court on August 19.

New Neighbor: “Smith”, 114 foot Sailing Yacht, Calls Westport Waters Home for the Evening
The 114 foot long sailing yacht is hard to miss from Compo Beach as it remains anchored off of Westport’s coast for the evening. Built in 1996 by Trident and upfitted in 2019, It was most recently listed for sale in the same year under the name Tenacious for a cool $3.9 million out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The privately-used vessel can host eight guests and six crew members amongst a mix of staterooms and cabins. With Aspen as its home port and no option to charter, the owners and their guests and crew picked a picture perfect evening to enjoy the safety of the Long Island Sound.
Though 34 meters long, Smith is the smallest out of a series of superyachts to visit the community since last summer. The 196 foot motor yacht Dream, the 184 foot sailing yacht Rosehearty, and the 123 foot long motor yacht Temptation all allowed their seafaring guests to dine, shop, and enjoy some terra firma in the 06880.
