Man jailed after SWAT team responds to domestic incident in Holiday Hill

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A man was arrested after a SWAT team responded to a domestic incident in the Holiday Hill neighborhood, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.

Police said they responded around 11:30 p.m. Saturday to the incident on Century Point Drive and were unable to make contact with the man, so they asked the SWAT team to respond.

When officers entered the home, they could not locate the man, who was identified as 34-year-old Calvin A. Galloway, according to JSO.

The front door of the home was plowed down and a window was busted. Neighbors said they heard smoke grenades going off.

The Sheriff’s Office said a warrant was obtained for Galloway, who is wanted on charges of aggravated assault and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

On Monday morning, Galloway was booked into the Duval County jail, according to jail records.

Police said the woman involved in the incident was not taken to a hospital.

According to Duval County court records, Galloway was charged with felony battery in May 2019. Records also show two women that live at this address have gotten domestic violence injunctions against him in the past two years.

Century Point Drive was blocked off as the SWAT team responded to the incident and JSO’s mobile command unit was set up outside the neighborhood. Police asked people to stay out of the area. Residents who were at home when the situation began were given the option to evacuate or shelter in place.

By 8:30 a.m. Sunday, SWAT had left the scene.

Anyone who has any information about Galloway’s whereabouts is asked to contact the Sheriff’s Office at 904-630-0500 or email JSOCrimeTips@jaxsheriff.org. To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-866-845-TIPS (8477).
