Gainesville woman arrested for DUI, trespassing, and property damage after allegedly breaking storm door and windows
Staff report
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Natasia Necole Bradford, 22, was arrested yesterday for allegedly driving under the influence to a property where she destroyed a storm door and broke three windows.
At about 9:10 p.m. on December 12, Gainesville Police Department officers responded to a home in Pineridge Estates (NE 39th Avenue) and reported that Bradford was “very emotional, screaming, crying, and being physically violent.”
Bradford reportedly had four unrestrained children under the age of 10 in her car, and officers reported a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from her breath. Officers reported that they were unable to administer field sobriety exercises or a breath test because of her “extremely violent and combative” behavior.
An officer reported that Bradford left her children unattended in her car while she trespassed on the victim’s property, knowing she had previously been trespassed indefinitely from that property in October 2024.
After she was pushed out of the home, Bradford allegedly destroyed a glass storm door and three windows, causing $1,400 in damage to the home.
Post Miranda, Bradford reportedly admitted that she had driven to the home while drunk because she wanted to confront a witness who was at the victim’s home. She said she did not care that she was going to jail because she knew she would be released in the morning. She reportedly said she would walk back to the victim’s home from the jail as soon as she was released and “murder” the witness.
Bradford reportedly said she did not care about the police and that she wanted the police to hear her clearly when she said she would be killing the witness when she was released and would “gladly” spend the rest of her life in jail.
Bradford has been charged with felony property damage, driving under the influence, and trespassing in an occupied structure. She has one conviction for driving without a valid license, and the officer noted that she does not currently have a valid license. Judge Susan Miller-Jones set bail at $27,500.

Well folks…there you have it.
How many Pineridges are there? The local HUD office may want to change the names so GPD and Google don’t get confused.
I know it’s confusing right allow me to be your hood tour guide don’t think of pine ridge as a single location but more of a geographical area pretend this is an episode of Wild Kingdom and Pine Ridge is a dangerous Savannah where a lot of dangerous predators roam and the Walmart on 23 is the watering hole the Savannah extends as north to 13th st and as far south as 39th ave to include parts of 53rd ave
Hopefully, the witness will save us the cost of a trial.
4 kids in the car under the age of 10. This warms the heart some women would have just left their kids at home unsupervised. At least she keeps the family together. and just think in a few years she will be a grandmother. that’s beautiful.
It’s too bad you won’t see this story on WCJB or Gainesville Sun. But lets imagine if we did.
I am Hawah Ezell your local hood reporter in the field because I am the only reporter allowed to leave the studio reporting to you straight out of Pine Ridge Estates. with todays headline racist GPD cops arrest strong righteous black woman just trying to take of her family and settle some old scores. Can a sister get a brake. I checked the court website and she’s pled the ever popular defense of “I didn’t do nuffin.”
And she’s proud of it.
Driving drunk, crazy and not charged with child abuse?? Poor children!!
No bail withheld or mental health evaluation? Bond set at 27500$
She’s very obviously related somehow to the almost all black Alachua county cop system here! The smile on her face while wearing the turtle suit says everything! She knows the system here! Good for her!
