Bunnell Police Arrest Man Following Violent Domestic Incident
On June 12, 2026, Bunnell Police officers responded to a violent domestic incident at a residence in Bunnell. Officers learned the suspect, Antonio Figueroa Acevedo, allegedly entered the residence without permission, attacked the victim, prevented the victim from leaving, and used violence during the incident.
The victim was able to escape and seek help. Bunnell officers quickly secured the scene, began the investigation, and requested assistance from the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office Crime Scene Unit. Detectives obtained witness information and collected evidence connected to the case.
A BOLO was issued for the suspect and his vehicle. Through coordinated investigative efforts, law enforcement located Acevedo in St. Johns County, where he was secured pending arrest.
Acevedo was charged with:
• Burglary with Assault or Battery — 1st Degree Felony
• Burglary While Armed — 1st Degree Felony
• Tampering with a Witness — 1st Degree Felony
• Domestic Violence – Strangulation — 3rd Degree Felony
• False Imprisonment — 3rd Degree Felony
• Grand Theft — 3rd Degree Felony
“This case reflects the kind of violence no person should ever have to endure,” said Chief David Brannon. “Our officers and detectives acted quickly, followed the evidence, and worked with our law enforcement partners to ensure the suspect was located and taken into custody. Domestic violence is not a private matter, and it will never be treated as one by this agency. When someone is accused of terrorizing, injuring, or trying to control another person through violence, we will pursue the facts, build the strongest case possible, and do everything within our authority to help bring them before the justice system.”
Due to victim privacy protections under Florida law, the Bunnell Police Department will not release the victim’s name, address, medical information, or any other details which could reasonably identify the victim.
This remains an active criminal investigation. Additional information will be released only when appropriate and lawful.
