GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Darius Trevion Campbell, 27, was arrested yesterday and charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon after allegedly cutting a man with a knife during an argument.
At about 10:38 a.m. on July 9, a Gainesville Police Department officer responded to 404 S. Main Street, where the victim reportedly said he had been arguing with Campbell when Campbell armed himself with a knife and lunged at him, cutting his fingers. The officer reported that the victim required stitches for the cuts.
Post Miranda, Campbell reportedly said he had been defending himself because the victim pulled out a knife first, but the officer noted that instead of retreating, Campbell “continued to antagonize” the victim.
The officer reported that the incident was captured on surveillance video.
Campbell has a juvenile criminal history between 2011 and 2014, seven adult felony convictions (one violent), and one misdemeanor conviction (non-violent). He has served one state prison sentence and was released in 2018. He is also facing a sworn complaint for aggravated battery for allegedly hitting another worker in the head with a shovel at a construction site in March. 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.
