GAINESVILLE, Fla. – D’Andre Vanshon Jemel Anderson, 29, was arrested on Wednesday and charged with aggravated assault after allegedly threatening a convenience store clerk with a mop handle.

At about 7:55 p.m. on July 2, a Gainesville Police Department officer responded to the Circle K at 1515 N. Main Street, where the clerk said Anderson had knocked merchandise on the floor, jumped behind the sales counter, and held a mop handle over his head in a threatening manner. She said he approached her aggressively with the mop, causing her to fear for her safety.

Three witnesses reportedly corroborated the clerk’s account of the incident.

Anderson, whose address is listed as GRACE Marketplace, has been charged with aggravated assault. He has two felony convictions (non-violent) and three misdemeanor convictions (two violent); he has served one state prison sentence and was released in 2019.

He was arrested in May for damaging a door at a friend’s house; bail was initially set at $2,500, but after his attorney argued that he could not afford the bail and would reside at a home in Lincoln Estates, he was released on his own recognizance in early June. Judge Kristine Van Vorst ordered him held without bail 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.

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.
