St. Augustine, FL (January 23, 2019) – Allen Hawk, a former firefighter for the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department who resigned in 2018 after he was arrested for beating and choking a St. Johns County woman while he was intoxicated. Now, he has been arrested again on battery and violating probation charges for another assault on a woman.
The new arrest report states that Hawk had been out drinking with the woman on the night that the battery occurred. She says she climbed onto a firetruck in the downtown area of St. Augustine, which is when Hawk grabbed ahold of her arm and violently threw her to the ground.
At the time of the arrest, Hawk’s BAC was over three times the legal limit registering at 0.233.
Hawk was also arrested for violating probation in relation to his previous charges stemming from the July 31, 2018 arrest. His probation conditions included anger management classes and zero consumption of alcohol.
