St. Petersburg, Florida – A 21-year-old man, Treyvon Maynor, was arrested on Sunday afternoon after allegedly assaulting his domestic partner and endangering their one-year-old child. Maynor faces serious charges, including aggravated child abuse, burglary with assault or battery, false imprisonment, and resisting an officer without violence.
The incident unfolded around 3 p.m. near 34th Street South and 15th Avenue South, where police received reports of a domestic dispute. According to authorities, Maynor’s domestic partner attempted to leave their residence with their young daughter. After a friend arrived in a vehicle to pick them up, Maynor confronted them by blocking their car.
In a troubling turn of events, Maynor forcibly entered the vehicle and assaulted his partner. Witnesses described the scene as chaotic when Maynor unbuckled their daughter from her car seat and fled, carrying the child on his back. Eyewitnesses reported that he ran across a busy parking lot and entered traffic on 34th Street South, prompting concerned bystanders to alert police.
St. Petersburg police officers quickly responded and pursued Maynor on foot. During the pursuit, an officer managed to intervene and safely retrieve the child by grabbing her legs. Fortunately, the one-year-old was unharmed during this harrowing incident.
It was later revealed that Maynor had a prior felony warrant issued in July related to an incident involving an elderly victim. This history raises further concerns about his behavior and the safety of those around him.
The area where the confrontation took place is known to be very busy during weekdays, amplifying the potential danger for the child and other pedestrians. An official from the St. Petersburg Police Department commented on the gravity of the situation, noting the child’s safety was a priority during the intervention.
The police are currently handling the case, and Maynor remains in custody as they proceed with the legal process. This incident highlights ongoing concerns surrounding domestic violence and child endangerment and the crucial role of law enforcement in protecting vulnerable individuals.
As details continue to emerge, the community remains alert to the implications of such events, hoping for further protection and resources for victims of domestic violence. The St. Petersburg Police Department encourages anyone experiencing domestic issues to seek help and report incidents promptly to ensure the safety of all involved.
