Staff report

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Tevin Octavius Campbell, 34, was arrested last night after allegedly hitting and choking a woman after learning she was pregnant.

The responding officer from the Gainesville Police Department reported that the victim mentioned she and Campbell had ended their relationship four years ago. However, upon discovering her pregnancy by another man, Campbell began calling her and issuing threats about beating her.

It is alleged that Campbell struck the victim in the face, and when the victim grabbed a broom for self-defense, Campbell choked her to the extent that she feared losing consciousness.

The officer stated that upon approaching Campbell, he fled through Campus Walk Apartments (914 SW 8th Avenue) and hid underneath a pickup truck. The officer then aimed his taser at Campbell, prompting him to emerge, leading to his arrest.

Post Miranda, Campbell reportedly denied choking the victim and said she attacked him first during their argument. He said he and the victim have been in an ongoing romantic relationship and that he was aware that she was pregnant by another man.

Campbell has been charged with aggravated battery on a pregnant victim, domestic battery by strangulation, domestic battery with a prior battery conviction, and resisting an officer without violence. Campbell has eight felony convictions (three violent) and six misdemeanor convictions (one violent); he has served five state prison sentences, with his most recent release in June 2024. He is on pre-trial release for battery on a person over 65, drug possession, and resisting an officer without violence. Judge Meshon Rawls ordered him held without bail on the battery charges, pending a hearing on a motion from the State Attorney’s office to hold him without bail until trial; if the judge denies the motion, bail will be set at that hearing and added to the $10,000 bail for resisting an officer.

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.
