Man on probation charged with aggravated battery

Staff report

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Tyree Christopher Young, 27, was arrested yesterday after allegedly breaking his girlfriend’s nose.

At about 7 a.m. on November 8, an Alachua County Sheriff’s Deputy responded to a home in Haystacks, where the caller said a woman had knocked on her door; she said the woman was bleeding and not speaking. On his way to the address, the deputy learned that Young, the suspect, may still be in the area.

After his investigation, the deputy reported that the woman and her boyfriend Young had been drinking at their residence when they began wrestling over her phone. Young allegedly hit the victim and knocked her nose ring out; as they continued to fight, Young allegedly punched her in the face, causing her nose to bleed extensively. The deputy reported finding a puddle of blood outside the victim’s residence and another larger puddle of blood nearby. The victim was transported to an emergency room for treatment, and the deputy reported that her nose was broken in two places.

Young also had an active warrant for domestic battery against the same victim, stemming from a September 23 incident. He was previously arrested for domestic battery in July, and although the charges were later dropped, he entered a plea of nolo contendere to a charge of violating pre-trial release conditions and was sentenced to 12 months of probation. He was recently issued a notice to appear for violating probation after the September 23 incident.

Young was reportedly found near a gas station on Archer Road and allegedly ran from deputies on foot. He was apprehended and booked on the warrant and the new charges.

Young has been charged with battery, aggravated battery with bodily harm, and resisting an officer without violence. Judge Adam Lee set bail at $30,000 on the September charges and $25,000 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. 

  • Judge Lee, he’s laughing at you and our justice system. From his actions its seems apparent he doesn’t care about your warrants, your probation or your pre-trial conditions. He is a clear danger to this woman; so get serious about protecting the victims.

  • Judge Lee obviously does not believe in law and order. Low bail on two violent perps. What’s with probation on a violating pre trial release? Mayor Ward, you might be happy with the Democrats running wild all over your nest, but you are way out of touch with the rest of the state and country. The birds will eventually come back home to roost.

    • he ll be along to see the nurse at the jail, prolly give some attitude when we give him one tylenol, at this point i usually ask if he knows the difference bw tylenol and a roach pill? he ll get all bent when i shrug and say ,neither do i

  • Love tge half head of braids. He’s cutting circulation off to what he has left of brains.
