Gainesville woman arrested for threatening to shoot Gardenia Gardens resident in 2023
Staff report
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Ebony Nicole Herron, 38, has been charged with threatening to shoot a Gardenia Gardens resident with an “AR-style” firearm in December 2023.
A Gainesville Police Department detective reported that at 7:40 p.m. on December 4, 2023, two women were arguing at Gardenia Gardens when Herron intervened and started arguing with one of the women. The victim told the detective she walked over to make sure the incident did not escalate and was confronted by Herron. She said Herron went inside her apartment, came out with an “AR-style” firearm, and pointed it at her, saying, “Shut your [epithet] up. I will shoot you!” The victim said she and the witness left and called law enforcement.
The victim and witness said they knew Herron because she worked at Gardenia Gardens, doing maintenance, and they later pointed her out to the detective as she drove by on a golf cart.
At the time of the incident, Herron was facing a sworn complaint for domestic battery, but those charges were dropped in early 2024.
A warrant for Herron’s arrest was issued on April 30, 2025, and she was arrested at her residence on May 21.
Herron has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. She has two felony convictions (non-violent) and two misdemeanor convictions (non-violent). Judge Kristine Van Vorst set bail at $50,000.
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.

Why don’t Section 8 owners screen their lease applicants? “She has two felony convictions (non-violent) and two misdemeanor convictions (non-violent).”
Answer: lawyers are allowed to make our laws.
ACLUSPLCDNC 🤡💩👿👹👺
Because of the federal gov’t which has guaranteed lease repayment via the federal government’s Department of Housing and Urban Development. The program is a slumlords wet dream.
Listen to whistleblower Catherine Austin Fitts who was Asst Director of HUD under HW Bush. She’s all over the internet if interested
Ah yes…..another fine example of the culture of intolerance and violence.
So these apartments hired the suspect to work there in maintenance, with a golf cart & have access to each apt key? Sounds so safe.
Why wait so late ?
It’s a culture of violence. Check out mug shots and see who’s there.
