On Sunday, July 27, 2025, Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO) patrol officers in District 6 responded to a domestic incident at a motel on Harts Road.
When officers arrived, the victim identified 52-year-old Aaron King as the attacker. Officers knocked on King’s door at the motel, but he refused to open it. Out of an abundance of caution for everyone’s safety, patrol officers called in the SWAT Team for assistance.
The SWAT Team arrived and tried multiple times to get King out of the room. At one point, King barricaded himself in the room with the motel mattress blocking the door. Eventually, the SWAT Team entered the room and took him into custody. He’s facing a felony aggravated battery charge.
Citizens involved in a domestic violence situation and need immediate help, are urged to call or text 911. Citizens can also call JSO's non-emergency number 904.630.0500 to be connected to domestic violence resources in Jacksonville.
