Homeless woman charged with threatening to kill police officer after being trespassed from Publix
Staff report
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Shakira Campbell, 32, was arrested yesterday after allegedly threatening to kill a police officer and his family after she was asked to leave the Midtown Publix.
A Gainesville Police Department (GPD) officer reported that Campbell entered the Publix at 203 NW 13th Street at about 9:15 a.m. and fell asleep at a table. She was asked to leave at about 11 a.m. and refused; she was asked to leave again at about 1:15 p.m., and she again refused. At that time, a representative of Publix called 911, and she left while the representative was on the phone.
A GPD officer reportedly found Campbell on the other side of NW 13th Street, where she was lying behind a pillar, with her belongings spread around her. An officer asked her if she needed medical attention, but she declined. She reportedly refused to give her name to an officer and allegedly started yelling, threatening to kill an officer, his wife, and his children; she allegedly stated specifically that she would hang the officer and cut his head off.
Campbell, who is described as homeless in the arrest report, has been charged with making a death threat against a law enforcement officer and trespassing after a warning. She has no known criminal convictions, but she has an unspecified criminal history in nine states over the past 10 years. Judge Jonathan Ramsey set bail at $12,000.
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.
Gainesville’s ‘ambassador’ of the month. Thanks city commissioner for instituting the incentives to attract more of them to our community.
The entitlement is outrageous.
How do you know she has an unspecified criminal history? That should be easy to confirm if that is known.
Here is the notation from Court Services on her criminal history: “OUT OF STATE 2015-2025 (MD, NC, TN, CA, NY, MS, VA, AL), OUT OF COUNTY 2022”
There is no central database that provides criminal histories, and Court Services has access to resources that civilians do not. Even within Florida, trying to find details about a defendant’s history is hit-or-miss without knowing the county where the incident occurred. For incidents within Florida (“out of county”), this type of notation often indicates an arrest that did not result in a conviction, or it might indicate a conviction for a traffic offense.
Gosh I wonder why it’s so difficult to find criminal histories, anyone wanna guess?
ACLUSPLCDNC Party 💩👺👿👹🤡
Way past time to re-open the insane asylums.
Just another outstanding resident that the city of gainesville loves to see hanging around it will not be long before she adds to her history so Florida will be number 10 i sure one of you democrats will dislike what i said how about getting her out of jail bring her to your home and prove that you truly disagree with me post a few pic with her in your home
So when you blame democrats for whatever you don’t like, consider that GOP policies also contribute to homelessness, and many, many other situations that cause minorities to suffer.
i sure one of you republicans would be better off if you learn something about sentence punctuation and grammar.
Why don’t you help her out Bubba? You could provide her with a warm bed and food. I kick in for a bag of flour since you seem so attracted.
Unfortunately, many are likely to not get that reference.
She looks like a newbie homeless. Probably just needs a brochure.
GPD ought to drive garbage trucks with the amount of trash they pick up.
