UF professor arrested for vandalizing car at Texas Roadhouse

Staff report

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Gina Maria Musolino, 60, was arrested yesterday and charged with theft and property damage in connection with a June 2 incident at Texas Roadhouse.

At about 5:10 p.m. on June 2, an Alachua County Sheriff’s Deputy responded to Texas Roadhouse (3984 SW 43rd St.), where the victim said he and Musolino had argued in the parking lot after Musolino accused the victim of bumping her vehicle with his car door.

Musolino allegedly went into the restaurant, took a set of cutlery, left the restaurant without paying for it, and then damaged all four doors and the rear panel of the victim’s vehicle. The damage was estimated at over $3,300.

A witness reportedly told the deputy that she saw Musolino vandalizing the victim’s vehicle, noticed the damage on the vehicle, and went into the restaurant to notify the manager. The deputy reported that video surveillance showed Musolino circling the victim’s vehicle before she left.

The manager of Texas Roadhouse said the restaurant wanted to press charges for the theft of the cutlery, which was valued at $5.

The deputy reportedly made contact with Musolino on June 10. Post Miranda, she reportedly admitted damaging the victim’s vehicle “out of frustration.” She denied stealing the cutlery and reportedly said the restaurant gave her the cutlery set.

Musolino has been charged with felony property damage and misdemeanor theft. According to court records, she has been in the area for about 10 months and has been working as a Clinical Professor and Associate Director of Curriculum of Physical Therapy at the University of Florida. She has no criminal history, and Judge Kristine Van Vorst released her on her own recognizance.

  • What the heck is going on with society? This is certainly a situation of Professor Karen.

    • Most of society eats several pills a day now. Half also inject pharmaceuticals at least annually. Makes it easy to knock off their chemical balance. Wackos. Expect it to get worse.

  • How on earth do these nuts end up in teaching positions? Sad!

  • Ouch! From Amazon’s description of one of her published works:
    “The clinical reasoning process needs to bring together knowledge, experience, and understanding of people, the environment, and organizations along with a strong moral compass in making sound decisions and taking necessary actions.”

    One might conclude she failed to recognize the environment, didn’t quite understand the ramifications of her actions, and definitely didn’t make a sound decision.
    Maybe she should take a class in anger management.

  • Maybe she’s frustrated from Long Menopause hot flashes? But you’d think a college professor would be more mature than a junior high Swiftie 🤡

    • I wonder what happened to the two researchers at UF that kept their kid locked in a cage?

      • They both probably got raises while in jail. Democrats get rewarded for just about anything mischievous by other mischievous democrats.

  • What does her car look like? I want to make sure I NEVER park anywhere near her.

  • She probably just drank a little too much Texas Roadhouse Cactus Water (Espolón® Reposado Tequila, club soda, and 2 fresh limes with a tajin rim), and now she’s really sorry for wotshedun.

  • She may need to lay off Texas Roadhouse food for a while. Liberals would say that eating animal meat will made you violent and have the meat sweats.

  • The Professor is not so smart when it comes to steakhouses. Texas Roadhouse only serves choice, never prime.

  • I’ll be waiting for the movie. U.F. Professor, gets “Mad Cow disease” from restaurant. Starts transforming into a Mad Cow.

  • All these comments claiming she’s a liberal and trashing her appearance. I can’t believe I share a planet with you people.

    Also, don’t Trumpers love felons?

  • She needs help.

    What she doesn’t need is to be on the University campus playing rational, responsible employee.

  • Sometimes our emotions get the best of us. I would not want to be around her in Physical Therapy.
