GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Xavier Lamarious Kellogg, 19, was arrested on June 27 for violating probation, and the next day he was charged with two counts of possession of a firearm by an adjudicated delinquent under the age of 24.
Kellogg has been on probation since May 2022, when he entered a plea of nolo contendere to attempted aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and possession of a firearm by an adjudicated delinquent and was sentenced as a youthful offender to two years of house arrest, followed by four years of probation, by Judge Phillip Pena, who withheld adjudication of guilt.
Kellogg previously violated probation three times and served some time in jail earlier this year after the second violation; however, a month after his release, he violated the terms of his probation again by failing to attend mental health treatment sessions.
On June 27, Probation and Parole officers reportedly went to his apartment to conduct a warrantless probation search after viewing a video of Kellogg handling two firearms, and Gainesville Police Department (GPD) officers accompanied them but remained outside the apartment.
