Last month, Adam Joseph Webb, 24, was convicted on felony counts of property damage, evidence tampering and possessing a firearm as a convicted felon. He was initially charged with aggravated assault for allegedly firing a gun near his ex-girlfriend’s dad but prosecutors dropped the charges.
Facing a maximum of 26 years in prison, Webb pleaded no contest to his remaining charges in a plea deal in exchange for a four-year prison sentence.
Prior to his arrest in 2024, Webb served time in prison after violating probation stemming from a burglary conviction.
On September 13, 2024, officers with the High Springs Police Department (HSPD) and Alachua County Sheriff’s Office arrested Webb after he reportedly reacted poorly to his girlfriend (the victim) breaking up with him in response to him cheating. Webb allegedly chased the victim from Alachua to High Springs and was confronted by her father.
When confronted by the victim’s father, Webb allegedly fired a shot into the air while outside the vehicle before getting back in his car and speeding away.

Additionally, when the victim’s father was deposed, he acknowledged he did not see a firearm. He said he was sure the sound he heard was from a firearm.
