News Summary
A violent confrontation in St. Petersburg led to the arrest of 21-year-old Treyvon Maynor, who faces serious charges including aggravated child abuse and burglary with battery. The incident involved Maynor allegedly choking his girlfriend and threatening others while endangering their one-year-old daughter. Law enforcement intervened to secure the child’s safety, leading to Maynor’s arrest. This alarming event raises concerns about domestic violence and child safety in the community.
St. Petersburg – A 21-year-old man named Treyvon Maynor was arrested following a violent incident involving his girlfriend and their one-year-old child on Thursday, August 14, 2025. Maynor now faces multiple serious charges, including aggravated child abuse, burglary with battery, false imprisonment, and resisting an officer without violence.
The confrontation occurred around 3 PM when Maynor allegedly intercepted his girlfriend’s SUV by blocking it with his bicycle, apparently trying to prevent her from leaving. Witnesses reported that he climbed into the backseat of the vehicle, where he attempted to choke his girlfriend and assaulted a family member who was also inside the SUV. During the altercation, Maynor reportedly threatened to kill everyone present in the vehicle, escalating the situation rapidly.
In a shocking turn, Maynor is accused of snatching their one-year-old daughter from her car seat and running into traffic at the intersection of 34th Street South and 15th Avenue South. Law enforcement was alerted and responded quickly to the chaos. An officer pursuing Maynor was able to grab the child’s legs and pull her to safety just moments before she was dropped to the ground.
The circumstances surrounding the incident indicate that Maynor intended to run into traffic with both himself and his daughter, placing the child’s life in severe danger. Authorities, upon arriving at the scene, took immediate action to subdue Maynor and ensure the safety of both the child and the girlfriend. No injuries were reported for the child following the incident, although the emotional impact on both the victims and the responding officers is significant.
The charges against Maynor reflect the severity of the incident. Aggravated child abuse is a felony that involves intentional infliction of harm or a threat of harm to a child, while burglary with battery signifies entering a structure with the intention to commit a crime and causing bodily harm in the process. False imprisonment refers to the unlawful restraint of an individual’s freedom of movement, and resisting an officer without violence indicates an attempt to evade arrest without physical confrontation.
As of now, Maynor remains in custody, with details regarding his court date and potential bail still developing. The case has raised concerns within the community regarding domestic violence and child safety, prompting local advocates to urge for increased vigilance and support for those facing similar situations.
This incident comes amid ongoing discussions about domestic violence prevention and intervention in St. Petersburg. Community organizations are focusing on providing resources and support for victims to escape abusive situations and raising awareness about the signs of domestic violence. As the legal proceedings move forward, there will likely be a heightened emphasis on child protection and the rights of victims in similar cases.
In light of this event, local law enforcement officials are reminding the public that assistance is available for individuals experiencing domestic violence and encourage anyone in such situations to reach out for support.
