In a recent development from Gainesville, Florida, authorities have apprehended Bacarius A’kenshay Dinkins, age 33, following an alleged break-in at his former girlfriend’s home, which occurred in April. The incident reportedly resulted in approximately $1,000 worth of damage to the property and involved the theft of medical marijuana.
According to reports from the Gainesville Police Department, the series of events unfolded on April 19 around 1:00 p.m. The victim, informed by her colleagues that Dinkins had contacted her workplace to confirm her presence there, reached out to him for clarification.

He admitted to causing significant damage to items including ceiling fans, light fixtures, a section of wall, and the front door frame. He also purportedly acknowledged taking her belongings.
Upon arriving at the scene, an officer noted extensive damage throughout the residence, estimating the cost of repairs at about $1,000. Additionally, the victim reported that her medical marijuana, valued at $40, was missing from the premises.
