The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office is investigating the possible abduction of a woman from Attleboro Street, near Lake Shore and Normandy.

JSO says officers responded to the area early this morning in reference to a dispute between 30-year-old Amy Dugger Beverly and her ex-boyfriend 30-year-old Joaquin Javier Gonzalez. JSO says Gonzalez came to Beverly’s home and confronted her and her new boyfriend. The two men fought inside the home and then went outside, where Gonzalez vandalized the boyfriend’s motorcycle and Beverly’s home with a bat, according to police. Beverly then came outside and started arguing with Gonzalez.

Witnesses report Gonzalez then led Beverly to his vehicle and the two drove away, but there are conflicting reports on whether Beverly was dragged or went to the vehicle on her own volition. Attempted to contact the two have not been successful, and Beverly has not returned home.

Beverly is described as a white felame, 5’3”, 130 lbs. Gonzalez is a white male, 5’6”, 150 lbs who was last seen wearing a white shirt and jeans. The two are believed to be in a 2004 white Dodge Ram pickup with Florida tag GWUR16.

If you have any information on the location of Beverly or Gonzalez, you’re asked to contact JSO at 904-630-0500 or JSOCrimeTips@jaxsheriff.org.
