The Commercial Appeal reports that Davis filed a motion in Hinds County Chancery Court, where he is locked in a dispute with State Auditor Stacey Pickering over repayment of the funds.
Pickering has sought to garnish Davis' salary to collect the $73,000 Davis still owes. A judge temporarily stopped Pickering from doing that.
Davis had raised the $96,000 from supporters. Pickering turned the money back to the city in August.
In his Oct. 3 motion, Davis says the auditor's office made the demand for repayment for the expenses without conducting an audit.
Davis has not been charged with a crime.
