Raymond Davis, 37, is charged with felony second-degree assault and misdemeanor disorderly conduct after an altercation outside a bagel shop Saturday. Davis hasn’t entered a plea.
An arrest warrant affidavit identified the victim as Jeffrey Maes and said he also suffered head injuries, abrasions and contusions.
Maes attended a court hearing Tuesday and had a large U-shape wound on his forehead. He left the courtroom with an armed deputy by his side who told reporters Maes did not wish to comment.
Davis was allowed to leave the courtroom through a back hallway and avoided reporters.
In January, Davis said he shot two Pakistani men who tried to rob him. Pakistan released him March 16 after the victims’ families agreed to accept $2.34 million. The shooting remains under investigation by US authorities.
Senior Deputy District Attorney Rich Orman mentioned the shooting while asking County Judge Susanna Meissner-Cutler to forbid Davis from carrying a firearm while free on bail.
Orman said he wanted to avoid another situation where there could be “potential lack of judgment.”
“We need to consider this fact, and I don’t believe the defendant should be allowed to carry a firearm,” Orman said.
Davis’ defense attorney William Frankfurt countered that the two incidents “are miles and worlds apart” and that Davis was acting in his capacity as a federal government contractor in Pakistan. The investigation may eventually show that Davis used good judgment in the shooting, he said.
Meissner-Cutler agreed to allow Davis to use firearms only at his work in the Washington, D.C., area. She released Davis on $10,000 bail and said he could travel out of state for his work. She also ordered him to stay away from Maes and his family.
