“Yeah I Did It,” Man Tells on Himself, Arrested for Domestic Battery, Released on Recognizance

Gainesville Police Department (GPD) officers arrested Alphonso Gadson, 71, Monday and charged him with domestic battery. 

GPD Officer Nicholas Isgar reports, “The victim and [Gadson] were engaged in a verbal argument in [his] car because [Gadson] wanted the victim to leave their shared residence. The victim stated that during the argument she had blocked a swing by [Gadson] when he attempted to slap her in the face. A spontaneous statement by [Gadson] saying ‘yeah I did it’ immediately after confirmed the event took place.”

The victim had a visible bump on her left forearm. 

After being read his Miranda rights, Gadson denied striking the victim.

Judge Meshon Rawls ordered Gadson released on recognizance.
