Sheriff Clovis Watson Jr.. as well as the Men and Sheriff Clovis Watson Jr.. as well as the Men and Women in Uniform who faithfully serve the citizens of Alachua County remain committed to reducing the level of violence that seems to be plaguing or communities by ensuring that guns stay out of the hands of Felons! On Wednesday March 22nd, 2023, ASO Detectives successfully executed a search warrant at a residence within the Linton Oaks neighborhood in unincorporated Gainesville. This search warrant was authored based upon extensive investigation that was conducted by Detectives assigned to the Major Crimes Unit within the Criminal Investigations Division. The subject of the search warrant was 16-year-old DEMETRIUS MARCELL COWART JR who is no stranger to Law Enforcement, as he always seems to find his way in unlawful possession of a firearm. On March 5, 2022, Cowart posted a “Live Feed” video standing outside of an apartment building in Majestic Oaks while holding a firearm. During that incident, Cowart was located and initially fled into an apartment that was occupied by a female resident and her small children. During that investigation, two stolen firearms were recovered, one of which was the firearm that Cowart had been posting on his social media “Live Feed”. As a result of that incident Cowart was remanded to the Juvenile Justice system and sent to a Commitment Program where he was released on February 14th, 2023. Soon after Cowart’s release, ASO Detectives began receiving information that Cowart had created a new social media account and was again posting photographs of himself with a firearm. Cowart posted a photo of himself with a firearm (pictured below) just two days ago, on March 20th. During the execution of the search warrant, Detectives recovered the pictured .22 caliber firearm and Cowart was arrested for Possession of a Firearm by an Adjudicated Delinquent. Sheriff Watson wants to Commend the Dedicated Detectives of the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office for keeping our citizens safe by taking firearms out of the hands of Felons!
