UPDATE: It seems they really do have bond hearings on Sunday in Seminole County! TMZ reports that bond for the false imprisonment felony was set at $15K and the domestic assault charge bond was set at $500. Nick is going to have trouble bonding out due to his finances.
But that is not his only problem. The judge is not going to let him go back to where he was living. I believe that Nick has been living with his mother since he returned to Florida and is not working. It seems the victim was shacking up with him in his room. Since they were both technically living there, he cannot return there until a judge determines everyone’s legal residence.. He has been told to have no contact with the girl and was order to wear an ankle monitor.
If Gordon is able to bond out, he’s going to be looking for places to couch surf. If he is on any sort of medication for mental issues he’s been off them for at least two days. That should add some spice to the mix.
Seminole County Sheriff’s office confirms that Nick Gordon is in custody in Sanford, Florida. In accordance with the old adage,”there’s someone for everyone,” someone has decided that Nick Gordon ticks off all the requirements on what she is looking for in a man. I get that a good man is hard to find, and lots of people will lower their standards, but how is “someone who did not murder his last girlfriend by drowning her in the bathtub” not still on everyone’s list?
The young lady who has apparently decided to live with Nick Gordon, because what could possibly go wrong, claims that Nick beat her on Friday night and she was unable to leave the apartment until Saturday morning.
This morning she stopped by the police department to give a statement and the police headed over to the apartment where they found him laying out by the pool and took him into custody. He was charged with
BATTERY-TOUCH OR STRIKE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
a first degree misdemeanor, with penalties that may include up to one year in jail or twelve months probation, and a $1,000 fine.
Due to the ‘domestic’ nature of the crime, the accused will face additional mandatory penalties under Chapter 741, Florida Statutes, including:
- Completion of a 26 week Batterer’s Intervention Program (BIP);
- 12 months of probation;
- 5 days required jail (if the defendant is adjudicated guilty and there is bodily injury); See Section 741.283, Florida Statutes;
- Additional community service hours;
- Loss of important civil liberties;
- Imposition of an injunction or ‘no contact’ order.
KIDNAP/FALSE IMPRISONMENT-ADULT
Under Florida law, false imprisonment is a third degree felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine Under Florida law, simply putting your hands on someone and holding them down is considered false imprisonment. TMZ has photos of bruising on the victim’s upper arm. Also in the photos I noted a hospital band on her wrist.
Nick will be sitting in the Seminole County Jail tonight. Their website shows that he has bail hearing tomorrow morning at nine a.m. That seems odd to me because tomorrow is Sunday. Usually if you are arrested on a weekend, you are in the tank until Monday morning. We shall see.
Thanks for the write up Ms T. I hope they bury him under the damn jail. At worst he is a murderer, at best, a leech with no regard for Whitney or Bobbi Kristina.
Did anyone else think he would be cohabiting with a guy after an appropriate mourning time?
I’m glad this girl went straight to the police instead of forgiving his abusive ass & staying with him. And the nerve of him, like ok, I just beat up my girlfriend & trapped her in my apartment (although I doubt it’s HIS apartment, I’m sure he doesn’t have a job, never did & he lost his sugar mamas), let me relax awhile & lounge by the pool like nothing happened?!
I think he’s been arrested for DUI before, not sure how many priors but I hope that affects his bail & he’s unable to post so he sits in the clink until trial. Whatever comes of this case, now there should be no question of his being physically abusive to all his sympathizers out there! He escaped justice once. He danced, now it’s time to pay the piper.
I believe he lives with his mother. Which makes it even more interesting. Is he abusing her as well?
Thank God the victim survived and promptly went to the police.
On another note anyone know how Russell Eckerman is doing? I know he had a financial settlement but did he fully recover from the near death and possibly life long pain Bobbi Kristina caused him?
That is quite possible. We all saw what sort of state he can devolve to on Dr Phil, an absolutely blubbering, irrational mess.
Wow, this is what happens. A bad guy is a bad guy. Perhaps self sabatoge. Dumb girl, sad she must have her own issues.
I am simply dumbfounded that any woman would willingly be alone with him ever again. I may be a tad overcautious, but if you’re at best a scrub and at worst a murderer? Hard pass.
Look how many women hooked up with OJ after the trail. It makes you wonder about their level of self-esteem . Are they in it because they smell fame, no matter how tenuous?
I wonder if it’s that girl who put selfies of the 2 of them on instagram captioning how lucky she was to make such a great catch. I don’t get these stupid women who know full well the abuse some man is capable of but get with him anyway believing that she is so amazingly special and much better than that previous gf and therefore she can change him. Delusion squared.
YES! I doubt anyone he knows is willing to post that bail. Get used to those bars, d-bag!
I read more details of the assault. As bad as I thought it was, it’s worse. Yes, TT, he & his girlfriend were living with his mom in an apartment. According to the report the girl said he flew into a jealous rage because he thought she was cheating on him and “just wanted her to admit it & he wouldn’t get mad.” After repeatedly denying it, he asked if she wanted to leave she said yes & he started punching her in her head & body & kept her from leaving. This reportedly started from about 12:30am-7:30am, him beating her throughout. She finally was able to run into his mother’s room (who apparently slept through all this?!) woke her, showed her, her injuries & she helped her escape driving her to the girl’s sister. She was unable to contact anyone for help because prior to this he smashed her cell phone (which makes me wonder why she continued to live with him) & hid his & wouldn’t allow her to use a laptop when she tried to go on Facebook to contact her sister for help.
That is such a brutal assault! I’m glad he wasn’t released & his bail set so high. He really is such a creep who is where he belongs! He’s a dangerous individual. Hope they throw the book at him!
