Man on pre-trial release arrested for deliberately hitting woman with car

Staff report

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Adrian Dushawn Dixon II, 24, was arrested yesterday on a warrant for hitting a woman with his car at the Gainesville Supermarket in February.

On February 8, the victim told a responding Alachua County Sheriff’s Deputy that she had been at the Gainesville Supermarket (7114 W. University Avenue) when Dixon pulled into the parking lot in his car. She said she and Dixon, an acquaintance through a mutual friend, began arguing in the parking lot, and then Dixon went inside the store and came back out, continuing to argue with the victim. Dixon allegedly got back into his car, drove forward toward the victim, and hit her with his vehicle.

The deputy reported that surveillance video showed Dixon getting out of the car and going into the store while arguing with the victim and her friend; the video reportedly showed him getting back in his car and reversing to get out of the parking lot. The deputy reported that the video showed the victim in front of the vehicle and that Dixon’s vehicle stopped and then “lunged” forward to hit the victim. The vehicle then backed up and left.

The deputy filed a sworn complaint against Dixon, and a warrant for Dixon’s arrest was issued in March.

Dixon is on pre-trial release in a March 2023 case in which he was charged with domestic battery and property damage; he was arrested in Levy County in November 2023 and posted $15,000 bail. He is also facing a sworn complaint for domestic battery from October 2023.

Dixon has been charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. He has one felony conviction (non-violent) and one misdemeanor conviction (non-violent). Judge Susan Miller-Jones ordered him held without bail; the State Attorney’s Office has filed notice that they intend to file a motion to hold him without bail until trial.

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 what they make the stalker movies about. Hopefully they will keep him in jail.

  • The “victim” obviously isn’t the brightest crayon in the box, he’s leaving and the “victim” gets in front of the vehicle?
    Maybe he thought the “victim” was protesting his departure. Don’t impede the movement of a vehicle – got it.

    • If I’m on my way to work and protestors are keeping me from getting there, this is the guy I want driving the bus.

    • The victim was in front of the car and he was backing out. Then the car stopped, suddenly lunged forward, and then backed up again and drove off.
      How did the victim impede the car?
