NEWBERRY, Fla. – Tiffany Nicole Wynn, 38, was arrested last night for allegedly intentionally trying to hit a woman with her vehicle while two juveniles were in her car.

An Alachua County Sheriff’s Deputy reported that at about 7 p.m. on June 18, the victim was walking along West Newberry Road, talking on the phone, when she saw Wynn’s vehicle driving westbound; the victim and Wynn reportedly lived on the same property for many years and have reported incidents in the past that include theft and physical fights. According to the deputy, Wynn recently moved off the property.

The victim told the deputy that Wynn’s vehicle suddenly crossed to the other side of the road, turned around in the ditch, and drove back toward her; the victim said that as Wynn’s vehicle approached, Wynn intentionally drove off the road and tried to hit her with the vehicle. The victim said she had to run into the ditch to avoid being hit, and she was in fear for her life.

While the deputy was speaking with the victim, a juvenile reportedly walked up and said Wynn had “definitely tried to hit [the victim] with the car earlier.” When the deputy asked how the juvenile knew this, the juvenile reportedly said he had been in the car and had seen the whole incident; he said Wynn had accelerated toward the victim. The juvenile said his brother was also in the car when this happened.

Wynn has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and two counts of child neglect without great bodily harm. She has no criminal convictions, but she was arrested on June 12, 2026, for drug possession and assigned to Drug Court. Judge Jonathan Ramsey ordered her held without bail pending a hearing on a motion from the State Attorney’s Office to hold her without bail until trial. On June 29, Judge Robert Groeb granted the motion and ordered her held without bail until trial.
