Staff report

HIGH SPRINGS, Fla. – Adam Joseph Webb, 22, was arrested early Friday and charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after allegedly shooting a gun into the air.

Webb allegedly chased a woman from Alachua to High Springs after they argued; when he was confronted by the woman’s father, he allegedly got out of his vehicle, fired a shot into the air, and sped away. He was also charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Webb was arrested at his residence about an hour later.

Webb has one local felony conviction and six local misdemeanor convictions. He was arrested for aggravated battery on a pregnant woman in 2020 and then charged with sexual assault and domestic battery later that year; all of the charges were dropped, but he was convicted of five counts of violating pre-trial release conditions. He was convicted of property damage in a 2020 incident in which he kicked in the door of his ex-girlfriend’s house; a burglary charge was dropped in that case. In 2021, he was arrested for shooting at an apartment building, but those charges were also later dropped.

Judge Kristine Van Vorst set bail at $150,000.
