Woman on pre-trial release arrested for intentionally hitting occupied car and using someone else’s name to avoid being arrested

Staff report

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Alicia Nicole Walker, 31, was arrested yesterday on warrants for allegedly hitting an occupied car with her vehicle in April and for allegedly using someone else’s name when reporting a crime in September.

The victims in the April case said Walker backed into their vehicle in a drive-through on April 5 and drove away without leaving any contact information; they said they were familiar with her, so they went to her apartment complex, where they argued with her. During the argument, Walker allegedly intentionally crashed her car into the victims’ vehicle, which had three occupants, and then fled the apartment complex.

The responding Gainesville Police Department officer reported that Walker said the driver of the victims’ car crashed into her vehicle; she also reportedly said she had not been at the drive-through, but she later admitted being there when the officer said there was surveillance video at the business. After that, Walker reportedly declined to answer any more questions without a lawyer. The officer noted that there was damage along the entire driver’s side of her car.

Walker has been charged with aggravated battery in that case.

At about 11:50 p.m. on September 5, an Alachua County Sheriff’s Deputy responded to the Eastside Food Store (3423 SE Hawthorne Road), where Walker said two women had robbed and battered her in the parking lot. The deputy’s investigation found that Walker had falsely identified herself with someone else’s name, and he believed that was because she did not want to be arrested on her warrant for the April incident.

The deputy reported that Walker completed a sworn statement and affirmed under oath that the information on the statement, including her name, was true.

Walker has been charged with fraudulent use of another person’s identification information, perjury (not in an official proceeding), giving false information to an officer during a felony investigation, and knowingly making a false written statement to mislead a public servant in their official duties.

Walker has three felony convictions (one violent) and seven misdemeanor convictions (one violent). She was also booked on a warrant for failing to appear at hearings for intentionally hitting an occupied parked car in October 2024. Senior Judge Bo Bayer ordered her held without bond on the October 2024 case and set bail at $250,000 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.
