NEWBERRY, Fla. – A 32-year-old woman was arrested yesterday on an aggravated cyberstalking charge after authorities say she sent a series of death threats to her ex-husband. Teaira Denise Lewis is accused of sending the threatening messages on Aug. 26.
According to the responding Alachua County Sheriff’s Deputy, the victim received the following messages, which were allegedly sent by Lewis:
The deputy reportedly viewed the messages on the victim’s phone. Investigators said they came from a phone number known to be associated with Lewis.
The victim also told deputies that another person had reportedly seen Lewis with the man believed to be referenced in the messages. That man was allegedly seen carrying a gun. The victim said he feared Lewis would follow through on what he believed was a conspiracy to murder him.
Lewis, who told Court Services that she works for a home healthcare agency, has been charged with aggravated cyberstalking. She has two misdemeanor convictions (non-violent). Judge Susan Miller-Jones ordered her held without bail pending a hearing on a motion from the State Attorney’s Office to hold her without bail until trial; if the judge denies the motion, bail will be set at that hearing.
