GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Shalecia Labria Garrison, 33, was arrested yesterday and charged with intentionally hitting a man with her car in July 2024; she also allegedly hit and killed two ducks.

On July 2, 2024, the victim told a Gainesville Police Department officer that he and Garrison had gotten into a verbal argument because he was standing in the road and feeding ducks. The victim said Garrison stopped her SUV and told him to get out of the road or she would run him and the ducks over. He said Garrison accelerated quickly and hit him and two ducks with her vehicle.

The officer reported that the victim’s hand was bandaged and there were two dead ducks in the road.

Garrison reportedly admitted that she had argued with the victim while she was in her vehicle; she admitted that she hit the ducks but denied hitting the victim with her car.

A warrant for Garrison’s arrest was issued by Judge Denise Ferrero on May 1, charging her with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and recommending that she be released on her own recognizance. Garrison has no criminal convictions; she was arrested in 2021 for battery, but the disposition of that case is unavailable on the court records website.
