Tampa Radio: WILD's Orlando Davis Arrested For DUI After Accident


A WILD 94.1 FM Tampa radio host was arrested for driving under the influence, resulting in injuries and property damage, according to WFLA-TV8 citing the Tampa Police Department.

Officers said 52-year-old Orlando Davis (right), legally identified as Arlandal Davis, who is known as a host for Orlando and The Freak Show on Beasley Media's WILD 94.1, was involved in a crash Saturday morning around 2 a.m. in Tampa

Police said Davis allegedly ran a red light at the intersection of North Dale Mabry and West Kennedy Boulevard, crashing into the victim’s vehicle. The victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries, and their vehicle sustained significant damage.

Jail records confirmed Davis was bonded out around 2:30 p.m. Saturday.

According to his radio station biography, the Gary, Indiana native attended both Florida A&M and Florida State University, where he “cultivated a love of music that spanned his diverse upbringing.” Following an internship at a top 40 station in Tallahassee he made the move from an unpaid intern to the “corner office” in three years.  He holds a variety of awards such as Billboard Awards Program Director of the Year and Personality of the Year.
