Jail inmate charged with 40 new misdemeanors after allegedly calling victim 139 times on free jail phones

Staff report

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Landon Kirell Coleman, 22, an inmate at the Alachua County Jail,  has been charged with 40 counts of violating his pre-trial release conditions after allegedly calling his domestic battery victim 139 times on the free jail phones.

Coleman was arrested on November 27, 2025, for allegedly entering his ex-girlfriend’s residence uninvited, pushing her down, grabbing her phone, and then throwing her onto an asphalt road outside her residence.

An Alachua County Sheriff’s Deputy reported that on November 28, 2025, a judge instructed Coleman to have no contact with the victim in his case, but between December 22 and February 16, Coleman allegedly used the PINs of two other inmates to directly contact the victim 139 times. The deputy reported that the victim became upset with Coleman’s questions during “a high number of calls,” and she has told him repeatedly to stop calling her before hanging up on him.
