Staff report

NEWBERRY, Fla. – Brandy Oldman, a candidate for the Newberry City Commission, will be charged with simple battery after she allegedly knocked a woman’s phone from her hand, according to the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office.

After a candidate forum hosted by the League of Women Voters on Sunday, March 29, a video shows Oldman getting into an argument with a woman who attended the forum and then walking away, saying, “I know where you live. I know where you live.” Then she walks back toward the woman and yells at her before the woman’s phone flies through the air. The phone flies through the air a second time before the video ends.

Alachua County Sheriff’s Office told Alachua Chronicle that Oldman will be charged with simple battery by sworn complaint. The sworn complaint will be sent to the State Attorney’s Office, where a determination will be made about whether to prosecute Oldman.

WARNING: This video includes explicit language.

  • lol she looks like a brawler. Probably not a good idea to appoint someone who can’t manage their temper.

    • Liberal loon throwing her weight around. She would look better in one of the resist toad costumes the protesters like to wear.

      • As soon as i saw her face, i thoughr the same thing! Reminds me of those large, psychotic old libtard women screaming at people wearing certain hats & T shirts!! 🤣

    • Try again. She was allied with the Democrats in opposing the Newberry charter school, and Democrat school board members have donated to her campaign.

      • You being a shill for political parties need to be studied. Who cares if they are either party, the point is do we want this in our politics, no matter the party affiliation.

        • Quite a comment after you started it by implying she is married to a Republican politician who is now head of DHS.

          • Just went right over your head. I didn’t imply she was married to that jerk, I was saying she’s apparently the female version by her actions mimicking his.

    • Of course they have – because Brandy was extremely vocal during the fight against the Newberry charter school. By contributing, they’re saying publicly that she is on their team.

    • That’s all one needs to know.
      Only an idiot would vote for her. Only bigger idiots would contribute money to her campaign.

  • What is it with these “Bubbetes” in this town? Whenever High Springs, Archer and Newberry(in Oldman’s case) come up it is always c*ap like this occuring at public meetings. Grow up people! This isn’t some Jerry Springer show. You small towns like to present as quaint Mayberry’s but the reality is that you demonstrate that you are not sophisticated or level headed enough to run a budget or a public meeting but you’re sure good at running your mouths. Great role models for the children.

    • For a real treat you should watch the alachua county school board meetings. Despite being on the board what seems like forever, one former chair couldn’t ever get through a simple meeting without being corrected by the attorney on standard public meeting procedures.

  • What a wonderful example for the children of Newberry and Alachua county. Get her off that SBAC advisory committee.

  • Should we bring back duels instead? Another made up lawyer law “simple battery” to clog the courts from solving real crime 👹👺💩🤡👿

  • Now everyone will pretend they are holier then though and judge someone on one moment in time, like we are all perfect. Like the women who refused to show forgiveness when person making a mistake tried to resolve it. Grow Up and pretend your kids are watching

    • Forgiveness? Did she apologize for lying? And no, we aren’t all perfect, but most of us don’t grab someone’s phone out of their hands to throw it not once but twice.

      If she can’t handle it now, how will she handle it up on the dais?

      Commissioners are called all sorts of vile things, but she’s up in arms over being called a liar?

      If she reacts like that or worse
      to a constituent as a commissioner, her broke a$$ won’t have to pony up; the City of Newberry will.

      All I can say is if Brandy wins,
      the City of Newberry had better “buckle up” because it will be a rocky, potentially expensive ride.

  • If she is eventually charged with robbery by sudden snatching which is what occurred. She knocked the phone out of owners hand and threw it. Video pretty much captures that. But if charged and convicted of battery and robbery she can kiss any weak chance of political life. Also her campaign donations have limitations on out of district donors. Hope she is keeping good records.

    • Dude, you pretended we didn’t see ICE agents shooting one citizen in the face and another in the back 6 times, but now this video seals it for you?

      • Again you need mental intervention. I dont see any federal officers being charged, just like Jan 6 when they shot a unarmed female vet in the capital because a clown was scared. For every video that justifies the ICE shootings there are just as many AI generated video clips. And again Good -n- Pretti FAFO just like Georgie. The three stooges of Minneapolis. The only stupider then those three is Walz. All three of them would still be alive if they peacefully protested and verbally resisted intest of physical resistance and weaponizing of a vehicle. LOL, you really do need help. I encourage you to stop going to No Kings gatherings because at the end of the day President Trump is still your President for 3 more years and you just go home frustrated as always.we put up with Sleepy dementia Joe for 4 years you can manage too.

  • Lmao I love the part where she says Imma catch some charges today lol
    Yes ma’am, that you did and if you were me, the state attorney would file attempted robbery by sudden snatching while armed, attempted aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill or do great bodily harm, threatening a witness, tampering with evidence etcetera etc cause they’re stupid ass college kid’s that the university allows to practice law for cheap labor costs, under the guise of allowing them to get firsthand experience! NO WHERE ELSE ON EARTH THAT I’M AWARE OF ALLOWS COLLEGE KID’S TO PROSECUTE FULL GROWN ADULTS AND RUIN THEIR LIVES N CARRERS FOR OVER BLOWN N OUTRAGEOUS CHARGES EXCEPT GAYNESSVILLE FL!!
