Gainesville man arrested for hitting co-worker in the head with a shovel

Staff report

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Darius Trevion Campbell, 27, has been arrested on a warrant for hitting a co-worker in the head with a shovel in March.

On March 13, Alachua County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a construction site in the Tioga Town Center area, where the victim said Campbell hit him with a shovel.

Witnesses reportedly said they’d heard arguing and turned to see Campbell and the victim on the ground, fighting. One witness reportedly said he saw the two men arguing and watched Campbell walk over with a shovel in his hands and hit the victim with the shovel. The victim reportedly said that he and Campbell are always arguing and that this was not the first time a shovel had been used in an incident.

The deputy reported that the victim had a bump on his forearm and a gash on his head; the victim was transported by ambulance to a hospital.

Campbell has been charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. He has juvenile convictions between 2011 and 2014, seven adult felony convictions (one violent), and one adult misdemeanor conviction. He has served one state prison sentence and was released in 2018. Campbell was arrested in July for cutting another man with a knife, but the charges were later dropped. Campbell is being held without bail pending a hearing on a motion from the State Attorney’s office to hold him without bail until trial.

Articles about arrests are based on reports from law enforcement agencies. The charges listed are taken from the arrest report and/or court records and are only accusations. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

    Thanks again, SCUMMY local Dem courts ACLUSPLCDNC 👺👹🤡💩👿

    • Why do you constantly quote what has already been written? As for charges being dropped, it has little to do with the courts most times.. It is because the victim decides not to testify, therefore the state has no actual victim or witness,and in a court of law the accused Always had the right to challenge the accuser.
      Educate yourself, Gomer

      • You tell him Jeff! These folks have no idea how smart you are or how big your pensions are.They also don’t know you were bullied as as kid and adult. “Gomer”,ha! That’s a good one.

        • Gilmore…please tell me you parents didn’t put that “handle” on you… It explains a lot.. with a name like that, you definitely are a Gomer. And I understand your hate for someone who made something of their life when you obviously squandered yours. I try not to make negative opinions of the underprivileged, but I will make an exception in your case..it, just is so easy

          • Jeff, Do you get ALL your information from late night “comedians” and The View tv show? I’m well aware of how special you are AND successful too! (Re. All your pensions and disability checks etc) Being bullied all your life must be rough but it’s made you quite the keyboard tough guy.

          • Got your mother and father giving you : 👍. Whatever works for you, with a moniker like Gilmore, I’m sure not much does

  • We need to get Cops or Live PD to come to the ‘ville. We got some entertainment here!!

    What happened to Police Beat on Cox 12??

    • FUNDING CUTS! That’s what happened!
      What happened to the GPD police beat, and the Sheriff office “On Patrol” videos once a week on You Tube?
      Same thing,,, Funding cuts. The City and the now the County have homeless shelters to build and fund.
      The irony of it is that this dude is an example of the “Construction Workers” they outsource to do the work.
      Everyone stop and think about this for a second….? 🤔🤔🤔
      They City and the county have their “Regular weekly meetings” about budgets, local employment growth, they be preaching and promoting “Inclusion” “Prosperity”, and Equality, etc … Y’all know….
      THE NORMAL WEEKLY CORPORATE HORSE $h#t, but if one can’t even dig a hole without getting upset with his co-workers, and bashing them with a shovel,
      (I’d bet my paycheck, it was his crew lead)
      Then where is it going?
      This Entitlement Belief Thing that Congress really “turnt up” in 2020 has absolutely decimated small businesses. Because now, only 4 short years later, dependable, ethical workers, who don’t play on the phone, and bitch up to thier crew leads/coworkers, and waste and cheat thier companies time,
      Have Become Impossible To Find.
      Y’all have become “Entitled”.
      It’s the old addage,
      Y’all want the check, but don’t want to work for it. Wouldn’t that be the American Dream???
      Listen,,,,
      My boss and my coworkers can be @$$holes on the job sites from time to time.
      But I’m not gonna smack’em up side the head with a shovel. 😝
      Even though I sometimes think it’s a good idea. 😁 Myself and my guys just have “thick skin” amongst our selves.
      The point is simply,
      If y’all really want a paycheck, y’all gonna have to eat a little crap to get it.
      But under the guies of “Corporate America”, please don’t waste our time, thinking ya’ll entitled to a paycheck.
      Either Grind for it like we do, or be miserable and entitled, like y’all do.
      Nuff Said…..

      • More than enough said, ever think about spell check?
        Their, guise, for starters and try real English, not “street cracker.” Help stamp out illiteracy. Stay in school

          • Katie, it is not whining, I just have a problem with people who think they have the answers to all problems, but obviously didn’t even get out of junior high. It seems he was the one whining about all the injustice, but can’t articulate it in a knowledgeable way, without talking like a street urchin. But maybe that excites you…to each their own

      • Gainesville is using all YOUR tax dollars paying inept City Manager Cynthia Curry $300K and funding that cesspool of humanity GRACE Marketplace. After all their virtue signaling spending, there is no money left for informative and much loved things like Police Beat.

        • How much did Ben Sasse suck out of the U of F. In 1 year ? And leave it a mess with a multi million dollar parachute for himself. Typical Repugnant. 1 year he lasted. Pick the arguments that matter Katie..300k is nothing compared to what he did. That is why Repugs have no chance in Gainesville… Ewww. I like it, someone else with limited knowledge to eviscerate. Hope to see again

          • Typical liberal, change the subject to something when the truth hurts to much. What a crybaby. All you got is playing grammer police and deflection of the truth that your Soros buddies are warped and inept to reality.

          • Uh, Bare…Grammer is spelled grammar..should of learned that in about 2nd grade.. especially when criticizing someone about grammar.

          • And you made mine. Under educated Trumper. Actually you couldn’t have picked a better word to misspell, seeing as how you should of learned that in Grammar school. When you write for many to see, all it does is point out you shouldn’t be making comments at all. Especially when the word is underlined in red..take your Gomer award

          • Nice non-sequitur there Jeffy. You can’t refute the fact that this town is being bleed dry by good intentions for people who don’t deserve the help.

          • I can refute that it is not your decision on who deserves that help. I see on here are people who complain about everything. If the way things are run affects your life so much ,then change it.. But people who do nothing but complain about everything,obviously have failed in their own life. When you get to the point where it doesn’t matter who is elected, then you will have succeded in life.

    • Police “BEAT”?!? That might trigger someone. I’m sure Curry canceled that insensitively-named program right after she fired all three of her assistants, so she couldn’t be fired.

  • Again, we are seeing people arrested for minor infractions. Thank goodness we have Dr Prizzia who leads the way in reducing prison populations. I hope to be in gainesville soon to award 25,000 to all new homebuyers. Can I count on you to join me at Citizens field for the awards?

  • Sheriff should immediately begin confiscating all shovels that are not stored in a secure area. Only licensed people should be allowed to own shovels. And the shovels should be registered.

  • Buyer ( and business owners, homeowners) beware. Need to be careful when hiring work done as many contractors don’t require criminal background checks which potentially exposes you to being a victim of future break-ins and violence.

    • And yet you would vote for a felon with 34 convictions involving sex crimes. Your hypocrisy is front and center

      • And yet you would vote for a drunk who can’t answer a question. And you would vote for a drunk who praised the scum who burned Minneapolis in 2020. Shame on you.

        • I’m sorry, I don’t know what drunk you are referring to, probably something you read on the failing Truth Social. But, even if it were true, drunk is not a felony. And I don’t want a President who is on tape as liking to grab women by their p_ _ _ y because he’s famous. And convicted of sexual misconduct by a 12 person jury of Rep.and Dem. So yes, I’ll take whoever that drunk is you speak of

          • Jeff:don’t believe the media propaganda . Put your face diaper on so you don’t shed your germs on us unvaccinated. The only people who keep getting sick are the ones who wear masks and get booster shots.

          • Shaquonda, just to inform you, I have never gotten the shots for covid, pneumonia, flu. I’m not in lock step with Democrats ,I’m just a Never Trump. The uneducated who are, have a very short memory, or paid no attention the 1st time.. I rail against ignorance, violence, uneducated and blind faith in someone who has never been middle class and yet professes to be for them. Whoever is President is not going to affect me one way or the other.But I do like messing with the fanatics.

          • Perhaps you’d be interested to know that the function of the mask with respect to CoVid is to reduce transmission, not to protect the wearer.

          • Perhaps you should think for a moment: the openings in the mask itself are the same in both directions. When you exhale, the air goes out through the path of least resistance – the gaps at the edges (or nose or wherever – unless your mask is so tightly fitted that you can’t comfortably wear it for long, it provides little benefit in either direction). When you inhale, at least the edges are pulled in. So IF it protects in either direction, it would protect the wearer, not the path of transmission.The mask studies are mostly terrible – the “gold standard” Bangladesh study hilariously found that surgical masks “worked” on people over 50 but not those under 50.

          • You want the drunk, but you won’t get her. Why doesn’t anybody say her middle name? Kamala Devi Harris? Her first and middle name are both Indian, not African, and it basically is Devil missing one letter. Her dad is Donald Jasper Harris. That sounds real African, too. She’s part Irish, which nobody ever talks about for some reason. Maybe that explains why she is such a drunk. Walz sure looks like a drunken Irishman. Professor Harris says his daughter is way too much of a pothead to ever be president.

          • Would you mind sharing where you got your information on her being a drunk? I have yet to see her drink, but I have seen and heard Trump. He has a god complex, misogynistic, self absorbed, self entitled,woman hating fat man who while in office spent more days on the golf course, than in the WH. Who shares “love letters with Kim. Talks about his conversations with Vlad,and will never live long enough to settle all his lawsuits.and the list goes on and on. And it has been proved most the MAGA are poorly educated, without the ability to comprehend just exactly what he plans to do..Also while in office he is documented to have told over 4000 lies . Yes, a perfect candidate for the ignorant

          • Typical liberal, change the subject to something when the truth hurts to much. What a crybaby. All you got is playing grammer police and deflection of the truth that your Soros buddies are warped and inept to reality.

          • I already said, I’m not a card carrying Dem. But you seem to read just what suits you.I don’t care about Soros,or anybody you feel is holding you down.. If your life is so bleak that being a fanatic for a lunatic is your answer, then you are beyond help. You are what you make yourself and it seems you missed that boat..Well if you think Orange man is the answer, then you are in for a bad 4 years.

          • Certainly none in your low barometric atmosphere. And I’m glad that my success bothers you so much, you seem obsessed with it. People usually are with what they can’t and don’t have…loser
