GAINESVILLE, Fla. — A 29-year-old woman was arrested early Saturday after police say she stabbed a family member during a dispute at a Gainesville mobile home park.
According to the Gainesville Police Department, officers were called around 12:20 a.m. on June 14 to a home in Candlelight Estates Mobile Home Park, located at 1600 NE 12th Avenue. When an officer arrived, he found Tammara Aaliyh Mosely covered in blood. He then saw the victim, who was also bloodied.
The arrest report states that Mosely told the officer she needed to leave and put her hands behind her back. At that point, the officer realized the blood on her was not her own, according to the report.
Police said the victim told the officer he had been stabbed. Mosely also allegedly admitted she had hurt the victim and said she “needed to just go,” according to the officer’s account. She was then placed in handcuffs.
The officer noted that the victim’s injuries did not appear to be life-threatening.
The victim said Mosely came to his bedroom, holding a knife, and swung the knife at him multiple times, cutting him on his shoulder, upper back, and head. The victim said Mosely has mental issues and “always causes problems.”
Post Miranda, Mosely reportedly said she had been upset at another family member when the victim started antagonizing her, and they got into an argument. She said the victim attacked her and choked her, but then she reportedly contradicted herself by saying he hadn’t been able to choke her. She said she picked up a glass liquor bottle and swung it at the victim in self-defense before the other family member separated them. She reportedly said she “had to finish what she started” because of an undiagnosed mental problem, so she picked up a large kitchen knife, went to the victim’s room, and stabbed him multiple times.
Mosely has been charged with domestic aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and domestic aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. She has no local criminal history. Judge David Kreider ordered her held without bail pending a hearing on a motion from the State Attorney’s Office to hold her without bail until trial; if the judge denies the motion, bail will be set at that hearing.
