Woman arrested for injuring business owner’s eye and attacking police officers, paramedics, and nurses, one day after release from prison
Staff report
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Chiquita Maria Johnson, 35, who was released from prison on Tuesday, was arrested yesterday after allegedly injuring a business owner’s eye and attacking police officers, paramedics, and nurses.
At about 1:30 p.m. yesterday, a Gainesville Police Officer responded to Advanced Auto Repair (1224 E. University Avenue), where the owner said he had asked Johnson to leave his property because she was smoking narcotics. Johnson allegedly became very upset and started throwing “sharp roots” at the owner, eventually hitting him in the face. The responding office reported that the victim had a deep laceration to his eye. Two witnesses reportedly saw the entire incident.
When an officer approached Johnson, she reportedly refused to speak to him and allegedly tensed up her arms to resist being placed in handcuffs; at one point during the struggle, she allegedly kicked an officer in the groin, leaving a shoe print on his pants.
Due to injuries sustained during this struggle, Johnson was transported to a Shands Emergency Room, where she reportedly became upset because there was no water for her to drink. She allegedly tried several times to hit a paramedic and kicked a nurse in the stomach several times; she then grabbed the nurse’s shirt and necklace, pulled him toward her, and repeatedly spit in his face. The officer reported that Johnson had to be restrained by 10 hospital staff members and hit several more of them before she was restrained. The incident at the hospital was reportedly captured on the officer’s body-worn camera.
Johnson has been charged with aggravated battery causing bodily harm, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, three counts of battery on specified personnel, and resisting an officer without violence. She has eight felony convictions (eight violent, five of which were for battery on specified personnel) and 12 misdemeanor convictions (three violent) and has served five state prison sentences, all out of Alachua County, with her most recent release on June 4, 2024. She is currently on probation.
Judge Susan Miller-Jones set bail at $300,000.

1) I would have caught a charge if I was the owner, LEO, EMS or ER staff.
2) She must be a tough fighter, because they say she can lick any woaman in prison!
This animal needs to be in a cage. Lock her up for a good 20+ years. She didn’t learn from her previous trips to prison.
Helloooo!!!🗣️ Sad af. And i dnt even know her!!
Another one of those “locals” the city comms are talking about. 🙄
Malcolm X was right. Some individuals just don’t integrate well.
“ She has eight felony convictions (eight violent, five of which were for battery on specified personnel) and 12 misdemeanor convictions (three violent) and has served five state prison sentences, all out of Alachua County, with her most recent release on June 4, 2024. She is currently on probation.” 🤡👹👿
Did she attend Reichert House way back?
Just execute people like this. Society doesn’t need them.
Needs to spend the next 20 + years in prison.
Sounds like a good wife for Ward! He won’t be lonely anymore, can call her Fistina like his current gal.
It breaks my heart to think someone must be locked away, but then there’s Chiquita. I pray she can be open to rehabilitation.
There is no fixing these kind of people… really, there isn’t. This is a defective being of malcontent, a worthless resource sucking parasite, that, like an aggressive dog needs to be extinguished.
Ick.
Eight, count them eight felony convictions and still released from prison. Several with violence mixed in as well. It is no wonder why G’ville has the high murder rate & gun involve crimes that it does.
It is very unlikely that the 8th circuit will ever change their sentencing protocol. And as such the voters by their choice in the ballot box bring this misery down upon themselves.
Open the prison door and insert again. 20 convictions, 5 prison sentences at age 35. She doesnt get it.
Oh my, what is wrong with this lady?
Chiquita Maria Johnson
Looks like this Chiquita just went bananas?
Throw away the key. This POS should not be on the streets.
Not to make excuses chaquita Has I mental issues From being in foster , care being Sexually molested Is repeatedly since she’s was a child Some people can rehabilitated from this And some people can’t overcome the things that was done to them. You already got mixed feelings from being a child being took in from your mother and then being put in homes where people suppose to love you and you’re being sexually abused, waking up in the middle of the night and someone’s on top of you as a child to take all this in is overwhelming we. Need to stop looking at. The people who’s committing things like this and start with the system because the system failed this girl. I tried helping her but some people look To drugs as a way to cope with the pain I love u chaquita
yes, the system failed her and many others like her b/c of this successful vote buying scheme many years ago by DC

All that could have been avoided if the auto repair shop owner would have left her alone to smoke her drugs. She wasn’t bothering anyone. But no, people love telling other people what to do.
That earned you the stupid award. It’s his business, his property. He has the right say who can and can not be on the regardless of what they are doing. So if you were on my property and I didnt want you there you would be asked to leave and refusal would be trespassing which I can have enforced.
That’s why they should kept where they are🙈🙈🙈🙈🥲🥲
She smoked that good hit and zeked out.
