GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Alicia Nicole Walker, 31, was arrested last week for intentionally hitting an occupied parked car in October.

At about 8:48 p.m. on October 4, a Gainesville Police Department officer responded to the 800 block of SE 18th Terrace, where the victims said a car drove up next to them and stopped; the victims said they could easily see the driver because neither car had window tint. The victims said the car pulled forward into oncoming traffic, then reversed and intentionally hit their car at about 5 mph, causing about $800 in damage. The victims said the driver then got out and bent the tag on their vehicle in an attempt to rip it off, causing another $50 in damage.

The victims said the driver went back to her vehicle, drove forward into oncoming traffic at the intersection, then turned her vehicle around, still driving the wrong way, and drove head-on toward the victims’ vehicle. The driver of the victims’ vehicle managed to evade the other vehicle and drove eastbound on SE 8th Avenue; both victims said they were in fear for their lives because they had no idea why the driver would try to hit them.

The other car followed the victims’ car for about half a mile before the victims pulled into the parking lot at SE Gator Liquor; the other car followed, and the driver got out. The victims also got out of their vehicle because they didn’t know what the driver would do next. The driver of the other vehicle said, “I thought that was my boyfriend’s car.” The driver then removed the tag from her own vehicle and drove away without leaving any contact information.

A witness who said she knew Walker gave the officer Walker’s name, address, and phone number, and the driver of the victims’ car positively identified Walker in a photo line-up.

The officer called Walker, who reportedly refused to meet in person and said she had not been involved in a crash. She reportedly said, “Go ahead and press whatever charges you want. I have a lawyer.”

Walker has been charged with two counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and property damage over $200. She has two felony convictions (one violent) and four misdemeanor convictions (one violent).

Walker was arrested in September after allegedly making at least nine 911 calls during which she did not report any crime but used derogatory language toward the call-taker and made threats to shoot call-takers and other unspecified people. She was released on $10,000 bail, and formal charges of unauthorized use of 911 services, hit and run, and disorderly conduct were later filed.

On October 7, three days after the alleged aggravated battery incident, officers found Walker in her vehicle at Sweetwater Apartments. The officers parked directly behind her vehicle, approached the driver’s side window, and told her to step out of the vehicle. Walker reportedly rolled down her window, said she would not get out, rolled up her window, turned on her vehicle, and accelerated forward over a curb, almost hitting the apartment building. She then allegedly fled in an unknown direction and was not located. Formal charges of resisting an officer without violence, driving without a valid license, and hit and run have been filed in that case, but she has not been booked on those charges.

Judge Susan Miller-Jones set bail on the new charges at $50,000, and Walker is also being held on the September charges.
