Gainesville man arrested for exposing himself in clubhouse of apartment complex

Staff report

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Gary Lavonne Terry, Jr., 34, was arrested yesterday and charged with indecent exposure after allegedly exposing himself in the clubhouse at Uptown Village Apartments on June 17.

A woman who was in the fitness center in the clubhouse (3767 NW 23rd Drive) reported that she saw an unknown man masturbating on the other side of a glass door, that the rapid motion of his hands had caught her attention, and that she could see his genitals. The alleged incident occurred at about 6:37 a.m. on June 17.

The responding Gainesville Police Department officer reviewed surveillance video from the fitness center and reported that Terry had walked into the fitness center about two minutes before the victim arrived. The victim walked directly to the elliptical machine and did not seem to notice Terry, who was reportedly sitting on the leg press machine while reaching into his shorts and watching the victim.

A few minutes later, Terry left the fitness center and walked around between the restrooms and mailroom, moving in and out of the view of cameras. At several points, he reportedly stood near a glass door that is close to the elliptical machine, and the victim said she saw him masturbating on the other side of the door.

The surveillance video reportedly shows that when the victim saw Terry, she gathered her belongings and quickly left the fitness center. At about the same time, Terry reportedly walked out the back door to the pool area, looked around, and ran northbound out of the pool area. About a minute later, a different camera reportedly shows Terry walking toward the south end of the apartment complex.

Terry has three felony convictions (three violent) and two misdemeanor convictions (none violent). He served a 10-year prison sentence out of Alachua County for snatching cash from a man and then shooting at him and was released in September 2023. Judge Kristine Van Vorst set bail at $40,000.

  • Another ACLUSPLCDNC-courthouse-groomed pervert fulfilling his payback obligation to the Bar Assoc. Was he an unscreened tenant from Uptown?

  • violent felon who looks like he is giving up robbing and decided to become a sex offender. Every once in a while the village needs to cull.

  • By age 34 it seems like he shuda learned how to legally survive morning wood.

  • I guess he’s too old to be retrained and saved by Reichert House? Maybe Poe and Botcher can use him to help will diseased illegals?

      • Why do you hide behind a black girl name ? Afraid to admit you are a MAGAt ?

          • That’s funny coming from a MAGA. Maybe you should of thought of that January 6th November will put a nail in that coffin .

          • Your maybe your friends in DC should have thought about yesterday at Union Station.

          • Lol, the Cackler’s for sure. At least Dementia Joe has a reason for no intelligence. She is just plain stupid and there is no excuse for being that dense.

          • In a few months you can address her as Madam President. And I guess you don’t mind being talked to soft and quiet, like one talks to s child, as Trump does. But then I guess he knows his base understands slow and soft and small words

          • Whatever floats your boat and falsely makes you feel good. November will be here soon enough. Hey, she might actual get a vote from someone. It would be the first in history.

          • Hum, now that’s absurd coming from a lefty. Seems to me that on Jan 6th. nothing was burned, destroyed, or looted. Antifa and BLM on the other hand riot, burn, destroy and loot. There are so many nails in the left’s coffin the thing must weigh a ton.

          • Hum, I guess then the riots, destruction, burning and looting by ANTIFA and BLM were okay with you? At least conservatives didn’t destroy or steal anything.

  • It’s sad. Another person who could have easily been accepted to Harvard or Yale. May still happen

  • If Obama had a son??? I’m disappointed and disgusted…..Some of y’all should be ashamed if the comments y’all make but PLEASE don’t make it a race thing. Was this wrong and extremely SICK ?? YES! Someone with white demographics has been in the in the paper for the same!!!!!!!(Caucasian). I hate how the world makes EVERYTHING a race thing. When race clearly has no effect on who decides to do what. Once we see each other for what we are , we’d understand each other more. Keep God in your life.

    • DEI perpetuates inequality…we are all equal right? Did you give Jeff a thumbs down cause he brought he brought Trump into the equation?

      • We don’t vote on black or white. We vote on political leanings. I mention Trump because he is an issue. The same as many of you comment on Democratic judges and prosecutors. Trump and MAGA are fair game. How many have commented on Biden? I just keep the remarks equitable. Trump blew it the 1st time and his base is too naive (I was nice) I didn’t say stupid or ignorant or low IQ, to realize he is wrong and now he is old too.

    • @Blackmagic: the most loving, uniting, and sensible post on here. Thank you and thank you for noting that God in our lives is so necessary. God bless you brother or sister from your Caucasian sister.

  • It is very alarming that the riff-raff perverts are encroaching on this side of time.

  • Always was judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin!

  • Word on the streets is he does this a lot. Meth and exposed organs is his version of das gapenguke.
