Man arrested for throwing brick through window and falsely claiming someone threw it at him
Staff report
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Jon Theodore Secreto, 46, was arrested yesterday morning after allegedly throwing a brick through a window and then claiming someone else threw something at him and cut his arm.
At about 5:08 a.m. on September 17, Secreto allegedly called 911, saying he had been stabbed in the arm, but then he changed his story and told the call-taker that someone threw something at him and the object cut him. This caused multiple law enforcement units to respond to a home in the neighborhood east of the 3100 block of NW 13th Street.
After officers made contact with Secreto, he allegedly told the same story, but an officer reportedly viewed surveillance video from the home and saw Secreto throwing a brick into a window of the home; the officer learned that Secreto had stayed at the home for about two weeks, but he was asked to leave by the owner of the home.
The investigation found that Secreto had thrown a brick through the window, which caused glass from the window to hit his arm, leaving a cut in his forearm.
Post Miranda, Secreto again reportedly said someone in the home threw something at him and it cut him.
Secreto has been charged with breaking the window and making a false police report. He has five felony convictions (one violent) and five misdemeanor convictions (one violent). He was arrested in June 2024 for shooting a BB gun at a neighbor and later entered a plea of nolo contendere to simple assault, with a sentence of 15 days in jail and 6 months of probation; when he violated probation by failing to report to his probation officer, he was arrested and later sentenced to 30 days in jail with credit for 30 days served. Judge Jonathan Ramsey set bail at $7,500 on the new charges.
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.
This guy is definitely a meth user! Seems the court’s here have a soft spot for meth monkeys. Wonder why….
Poor guy needs a place to stay. Hey Harvey….don’t you have a spare room for the our uninvited guest?
There’s a reason some people are homeless. They are impossible to live with, and they aren’t reliable employees. That’s the voter base of the ACLUSPLCDNC Party 👹💩👿👺🤡
Whenever this guy is on mugshots, he reminds me of The Scream by Edvard Munch.
Im the one he shot the bb gun at, they charged him with a felony and then reduced it to MM because I said “I trust God and wasn’t afraid”, despite me not knowing it was a bb gun when he pulled the trigger. He had a red dot scope on it, aimed and fired.
The real question is how he continues to catch charges, gets the lightest possible sentences and is back on the streets.
The other night i came down the road and him and a gpd officer where just chilling having a conversation in front of the Honda dealership the officer had his lights on but it seemed like they were just hanging out having a friendly conversation.
If a normal citizen did and continues to do what the guy has done they would have been sent to prison.
Oh and every time I’ve seen him get arrested he fakes a medical emergency and gets released from the hospital back to the streets.
They were in a house in my neighborhood after they moved out I cleaned out the house for the realtor.
There were battery packs everywhere, two liter bottles of some weird sludge and the back yard was full of two liter bottle sized holes.
