Woman arrested after allegedly threatening to cut off man's penis with a knife, then leading officers on high-speed chase
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Gabriela Marie McLeskey, 31, was arrested yesterday after allegedly threatening to cut off a man's penis with a knife and then leading deputies on a high-speed chase.
At about 8:03 a.m. yesterday morning, an Alachua County Sheriff's Deputy responded to a bus stop at 5950 SW 20th Avenue following a report of an armed disturbance. The victim told the deputy that a woman in a car had pulled over, gotten out of her car, and walked up to him, accusing him of sexual misconduct and then making sexual statements toward him. She then allegedly pulled out a kitchen knife, raised it over her head, and said she would cut off the victim's penis and put it in his mouth. The victim said she swung the knife at him several times, and as he tried to defend himself, she hit his hat with her empty hand. He then called 911.
The victim pointed in the direction of a silver car parked on the side of the road, and the deputy reported that he saw a woman running toward the car; the victim reportedly confirmed that the woman was the one who had threatened him. The woman made it to her car and began driving east on SW 20th Avenue. The deputy activated his sirens, but she allegedly continued to drive, pulled into the Circle K at 52nd Street, then drove through the parking lot and to the exit, where she was blocked by traffic. Deputies were able to loosely box her car in with patrol vehicles, then they made contact with the woman and ordered her to get out of the car.
The woman allegedly refused to get out of the car, and while deputies were moving vehicles to better box her in, McLeskey allegedly pulled out onto SW 20th Avenue. Deputies reported that they pursued her for multiple miles until she began running red lights and passing other cars in the wrong lane. Traffic was heavy, and deputies backed off and lost contact with her car in the area of NW 43rd Street and NW 16th Boulevard.
A short time later, McLeskey's car was found at her home in the 2700 block of NW 39th Drive. Deputies surrounded her home and made announcements ordering her to come out. At one point, McLeskey reportedly came out of the sliding back door of her residence, but she went back inside.
McLeskey was later arrested around 2:45 p.m. at her home.
McLeskey is also facing a domestic battery charge from April 2022, when she went to pick up her son from his father and allegedly told two men who had come with her to forcibly take her son, who was reportedly crying because he doesn't like new people, from his father. She was also charged with battery on a nurse in a July 2022 incident at a hospital, but that charge was dropped. She has one misdemeanor conviction from 2013.
McLeskey has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, battery, and fleeing at high speed. Judge Thomas Jaworski set bail at $160,000.
That's the way it is says:
My suggestion, she should worry about that head of hair first.

😂😂😂totally agree
DIY Trans? says:
You know it is going to be a "Florida Man" type article when a Chronicle article has the word "penis" in the headline and pink hair in the mugshot.
This may work... says:
Anyone remember the look Jon Lovitz gave Marla the first time he saw her in "A League of Their Own?"
Yep… that's how I looked when I opened this story.
There's no crying in baseball! says:
See the grass, girls? Don't eat it.
GILBERTO DOMINGUEZ says:
She looks like if My Little Pony was in the midst of transitioning.
Mr. Peabody says:
It's woke culture gone wild. She probably thought he was someone she had seen pictures of online who is supposed to be a bad guy, which could be any guy who rejected one of her dumpy-looking friends. She looks like a real SJW fightin' the rape culture. Maybe she appears freaked out because they made her take off her mask for the picture. That's crazy that the deputies couldn't just run her off the road or something.
Another lawyers' golden goose! Keep her locked up and have her spayed to prevent more DCF offspring!
Why don't they make her remove that nose ring for the mugshot? It should be removed and returned with her personal possessions when she gets released. That piece if metal can be used as a weapon to shank someone or to try to open handcuffs. The sheriff needs to review their policy about allowing people to wear body piercings when booked.
We use to put nose rings in bulls could tie a rope to it and control the bull I wonder what they are used for today
Ummmm for fashion?
