GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Deangilo Santrell Williams, 31, was arrested late last night after allegedly attempting to get into an apartment at Arbor Park Apartments while armed with a gun.
At about 9 p.m. last night, Williams allegedly knocked on the rear sliding glass door of the apartment and pulled on the door handle. The victim told a responding Gainesville Police Department officer that she was afraid he would come into her apartment; she said she had met Williams three or four times but only knew him through a mutual friend who previously sublet a room in the apartment. The victim said she told Williams to leave, but he continued trying to enter her apartment for about 30 minutes. She said he eventually left but returned half an hour later, carrying a large stuffed bear, a box of chocolates, and a bottle of wine. She said he again demanded that she let him in and repeatedly tried to open the sliding glass door. She said he was banging on the door and windows of the apartment and yelling for her to let him in, but she never opened the door.
