Gainesville Man Not Charged For Sex Crime After Committing Sexual Offense

Darrien James Briggs Garner, 31, was arrested on Saturday on a warrant for false imprisonment and five counts of domestic battery.

In July, Garner choked the victim and scratched her multiple times. 

In August, Garner pulled out the victim’s hair and threatened her and her family. 

In September, Garner forced the victim to perform oral sex but he wasn’t charged with committing any sexual offenses. Garner reportedly said he wanted to show the victim “what a real man was,” before committing the sexual offense against her. 

Garner began stalking the victim at her work, causing her to move away.

The sworn complaint was filed in October, but a warrant wasn't issued until this month.

Garner’s bond is set at $345,000.
