GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Matthew Alexander Hutchinson, 20, was arrested last night after allegedly pushing a family member and then making multiple threats to kill deputies, including a threat that his “whole gang” would come after them.

At about 10:50 p.m. on January 19, Alachua County Sheriff’s Deputies responded to Hutchinson’s home, where a family member over the age of 65 said Hutchinson had pushed him.

When deputies asked Hutchinson to step outside, he reportedly invited them into his room, where he was “incomprehensible and dismissive” in response to deputies’ questions. When a deputy asked whether he had pushed family members to create space, he reportedly said he did but refused to expand on that.

Hutchinson was arrested for domestic battery and placed in a patrol vehicle. During a search incident to arrest, Hutchinson allegedly kicked his feet in an apparent attempt to obstruct the deputy’s search.

In the patrol car, Hutchinson allegedly said, “Alright, alright, I’ll kill all y’all [expletive] bro” and said he was “gonna hit yo [expletive] with a [expletive] baseball bat.” He allegedly added, “I get my whole gang on yo [expletive].”

When a deputy tried to read Hutchinson his Miranda rights, Hutchinson reportedly spoke over the deputy and refused to acknowledge that he understood his rights. He then allegedly said, “Get that light out of my face before I get one of my shooters to blast yo [expletive].” A deputy read the statement back to him as a question, and Hutchinson reportedly responded, “Yeah.”

Hutchinson has been charged with battery on a person over 65, resisting an officer without violence, and making a threat against a public servant. He has a juvenile conviction from 2015 but no adult convictions. He was arrested on two counts of domestic battery in 2023, but the charges were later dropped. Judge Tatum Davis set bail at $80,000.

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.
