December 29, 2023

Staff report
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Gainesville Police Department is requesting the public’s assistance in locating Donald W. Bell, 50.
Bell is currently wanted on multiple charges of Grand Theft: Motor Vehicle and Criminal Mischief.
If you know Bell’s location, please call GPD Detective Meek at 352-393-7659.
Another stealing POS who has never learned to keep his nasty fingers off other people’s property. He has been a felon since the 90s. Hope he gets caught soon.
Look under some of the blankets downtown.
Probably on UF campus stealing more scooters while the kiddos are on winter break.
Just a matter of time before they catch this POS.
Oh Lawdy! He has always been such a good boy! Lock his a$$ up without phone privileges except for his lawyer!
Hopefully someone will run over him while stealing a scooter and squish him. Problem permanently solved.
Fla. needs a 3 Strikes Law for more than one reason. It’ll dissuade scummy transplants from coming here, and it’ll put them away if they do. The cherry on top: it’ll starve scummy public lawyers and force judges to move faster on other more important cases.
We can send repeat offenders to prisons someplace else, if necessary. Just put it on the ballot.
Why bother catching him? – He will be ROR’d or perhaps a $500 bond.
Dam….. I don’t know whats going on with Donny, I used to skate with him, I hope he heal from whatever he’s going through.
