Gainesville woman arrested for attacking daughter’s boyfriend with machete
Staff report
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Yolonda Rontres Robinson, 50, was arrested last night and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after allegedly attacking her daughter’s boyfriend with a machete.
The victim told a responding Alachua County Sheriff’s Deputy that he was invited to the apartment at MAA Steeplegate (1105 Fort Clarke Blvd) by Robinson’s daughter, but he knew Robinson did not approve of the relationship and had threatened to cut him with a machete if he came to the apartment.
The victim reportedly said he didn’t care if Robinson had a machete and that he thought she was just bluffing, but when he entered the apartment, Robinson allegedly approached him with the machete and said, “Oh, you don’t care?”
The responding deputy reported that the victim’s girlfriend is a resident of the apartment and can give permission for a visitor to be in the home.
The victim reportedly raised a piece of luggage in front of him, and Robinson allegedly attacked the luggage with the machete, leaving two three-inch cuts in the luggage and scratches where the blade hit the luggage but didn’t cut it.
The victim reportedly left the apartment and contacted law enforcement. Robinson was reportedly stopped nearby by a deputy and arrested.
Robinson has three misdemeanor convictions (one violent). Judge Meshon Rawls ordered her released on her own recognizance.

Don’t mess with Mama Bear. I bet, at the end of the day, she was right about him. I’m not saying what she did was right but I understand.
She’s for sure right he’s a married a man has no right with her daughter
Where did it say he was married 👀👀👀👀 that’s juicy information
You have to know him personally to know he’s married I assume but he’s married with kids old as her or probably older then her
Good for her. Protect your children in your own home! The luggage will survive. I have no doubt she knows exactly what’s up.
Setup a GoFundMe if you need money for the court…I know I’ll pitch in.
He probably deserved it.
real big age difference between her child and the man, id be mad too
That woman needs to stay out of her GROWN daughter’s business. As long as the victim is not causing the daughter any danger or harm why butt in? Some folk are too controlling when it comes to their offspring and that’s why you have husbands/wives who dislike their in-laws.
well the daughter needs to move out and get her own. in the parents home its her rules. she said not to come he still disrespected her and showed up.
She should be given the key to the city instead.
Good for you, Judge, maybe this guy will learn some respect for his elder’s, doubtful though
Florida has a stand your ground law. There should also be a FAFO law.
I believe he did.
I don’t know the full story but from my stand point. mama had no business attacking that man. Nothing was implicated he did anything but come visit his girlfriend. I see folks saying he was married. Where did it state that he was married.
Sad part is the daughter is on FB basically saying she not leaving the man. She has a violent history with men as well and is verbally abusive to her daughter. The entire family should be investigated.
Blame the daughter! Cause if your mama don’t want him in the house LEAVE.
if he was told not to come to the apartment by the mother who is the head of the house. then why be stupid and go to try to call her bluff
If I’m mom and I’m paying the bills, rather you are on my lease or not, I have a right to say who comes into my home. Her daughter may be an adult but why not respect mom’s wishes. If you know her temperament why invite him over? Bottom line, you both need to leave. I suggest she gets a place of her own, that way she can have any visitor she likes and mom stays out of jail.
