Gainesville man charged with aggravated stalking after being suspended from his job
Staff report
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Eric Victor Ramos, 36, was arrested yesterday and charged with aggravated stalking after he allegedly send threats to a co-worker after being suspended from his job for carrying a concealed firearm at work.
Ramos and the victim are reportedly work acquaintances, and the victim had previously given her number to Ramos. On May 23, Ramos was reportedly seen carrying a concealed firearm at work, and he was subsequently suspended, pending investigation.
The same day, the victim started receiving calls and texts with messages like, “It’s up” and “It doesn’t have to be like this.” The messages also reportedly said she had messed up and that the sender knew her home and work addresses, along with the make and model of her car. One message said her life was “going to be hell.” Screenshots of the victim’s Facebook page, home address, and age were reportedly included in the messages.
When the victim asked who was sending the messages, the sender replied, “Ya nightmare hoe” and wrote that it wasn’t funny and it wasn’t a threat; it was a promise. Another message reportedly showed a picture of the victim’s daughter with a threat to “reach out to ya family.” When the victim said her daughter had nothing to do with this, the sender reportedly replied, “She does now.”
The victim also received threatening messages from other numbers, which the arresting Gainesville Police Department Officer identified as TextNow numbers. A voicemail from Ramos reportedly used the same “It’s up” phrase that was used in the first set of texts.
Ramos has five misdemeanor convictions (none violent). Judge Lorelie Brannan ordered him held without bail.
Articles about arrests are based on reports from law enforcement agencies. The charges listed are taken from the arrest report and/or court records and are only accusations. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Given the ineptness of our courts and DAs I would consider taking a CCW class and adding additional security at work and home. Even with a restraining order this cretin will remain a credible threat even under parole or restraining orders.
This isn’t his first rodeo history of doing this and not being held accountable.. I mean multiple women, restraining orders were denied. He knows a lot of ppl in law enforcement because of his fraternity and gets off every time.
He did the same thing to be and I couldn’t get a restraining order because I knew he would know my address if it was denied.!!! I feel soo much safer now that he is arrested
I will be looking into writing a statement as well!
Jasmin Young, As women, we want to express our sincere appreciation for your courage and unwavering commitment. Please let us know how we can assist you during this time. You need to know that we fully support you, and some individuals will back you up. As women, we understand that many may feel powerless to take action or report incidents to law enforcement because of individuals like the accused, who have ties to law enforcement and the State Attorney’s Office through their fraternity connections.
Your caution is entirely justified, especially considering that the defendant was aware of your address, which he obtained through members of law enforcement. This only adds to the complexity of the situation.
In the text messages, the defendant mentioned that his “fraternity brother is the Police Chief.” This fraternity brother is Tony Jones, the former police chief for the City of Gainesville. Tony Jones is currently employed with the State Attorney’s office under Brian Kramer. I also learned that Darry Lloyd, the defendant’s fraternity brother, is listed as a Chief Investigator on the State Attorney’s website.
Given this wealth of information, it is entirely understandable that you have reservations about coming forward and filing a complaint. Some likely other women have also fallen victim to this individual and are hesitant to speak out due to his connections within law enforcement and the State Attorney’s Office. Once again, the defendant openly flaunted his connections.
Hold up now! DON’T PUT DARRY LLOYD NOWHERE NEAR THIS MESS. No ma’am Julie “BACK OFF PLZ”
Ok Bob
Let me be clear – my last post was a statement, not a question. I assert my right to take action without seeking permission.
When you tell me or anyone to back off, it comes across as if you’re condoning the victimization of women by predators like the person in the Alachua County Jail. This individual seems to have powerful allies such as your acquaintance Darry Lloyd. Do you share ties with his fraternity brothers? It’s concerning to see such solidarity. I stand by the comments and the sentiments shared by others about Darry Lloyd and Tony Jones for covering up for the thugs in their chapter. Apparently now we can add you to the list of thugs.
The local chapter of Phi Beta Sigma appears to have a concerning reputation. Your ‘friend’ and ‘brother’ seems to have a knack for covering up incidents. Now you’re dismissed and go find more victims.
WOW !!! So not only are we now guilty until proven innocent. But your fraternity also.
Well tell him to stay clear and allow a fair hearing and trial process. By chance do you work at local SL group home(s)? 👀
Who is the fraternity is he with?
PHI BETA SIGMA
Are you sure? Becuz if dats true he is definitely gon be covered becuz the main guy in the SA Office is part of Phi Beta Sigma what the hell is that guyz name Darian or sumthin
English much?
I’m hoping frat doesn’t cover him given the evidence
No ma’am. Plz stop spreading rumors. No one is covered.
Correct …maybe not covered but it appears he has used the names to intimidate victims. By doing so he made them feel they couldn’t be believed or supported. Also, other judges dismissed issues identicalnwhich no one understood. So we can’t say he’s covered without evidence but I can understand why people may feel that way.
how does his fraternity matters in this situation only because he don’t speak for all of Phi Beta Sigma. My husband is in Phi Beta Sigma and would never
Does your husband work in the SA Office?
My husband works at the Post Office. I just wanted to make the point that it’s not all of Phi Beta Sigma
Thanks for standing up for the innocent men of PBS. If this happened to her , I hope that she gets justice. But to slander a international brotherhood is so wrong.
Dee (is this short for D Lloyd or the emphasis and narcissistic Darry Lloyd), man you really aren’t that bright; the epitome of stupid. This is about you and the local chapter OR rather a group of thugs, not the respectable international fraternity. Stay clear Darry and allow the case to be fair.
Your husband being a Sigma has what to do with this? Hopefully he doesn’t associate with the sorry beings that have been previously mentioned. In all due respect what don’t you understand about “friends in high places” or “connections”? I’m glad the laundry is being aired out, inept jones or darryn needs no involvement with this case and jurisdiction changed to prevent all possible conflicts of interest.
This man is a creep and a gaslighter. It is crazy how he works in social work and Healthcare. He doesn’t take no for an answer and I am glad that he is arrested. He has a grandiose problem.
He has a company working with children!! He needs to be stopped I have been looking over my shoulder for the past 6 months, finally!!!!
Jasmin- yes! Do whatever it takes to protect yourself. Cameras, CCW with training, document everything. Restraining orders do not work!
Writing a statement will help tremendously! I feel your fear! I have been in a similar situation before. My statements and other women’s statements significantly helped. When the time comes please testify if called. This psycho is going to kill someone eventually if he isn’t put away.
Smoothe move dude. Now you’re not only suspended from your job, but probably fired as well
As he should. Smack him with that tally… wait he now has all the attention he ever fantasized. 🤷♂️🤦♂️
Hopefully his CCW Permit will be revoked. People who act out like this do not need guns. They need prison cells
This idiot thinks we’re in Texas with open carry… seen at Chipotle with his lil pistols as he is LEO. Bitch Jones I tell you. 🤦♂️
This guy has a serious problem! When I said I was not interested in him, he called me continuously. I blocked him. He called blocked. I did not go back to the place I met him just so I would not run into him. I hope the law protects this woman. This dude is not stable.
It is heartbreaking that this happened to you or any other victim. I truly hope you or any other victim seeks and gets real justice. Please be aware of the conflicts of interest within the State Attorney’s Office. You will find that the Defendant has ties to a guy in that office who is the head of investigations. I think his name is Lloyd and it appears this Ramos guy are brothers. Looks like this Lloyd Darry guy will cover this up and possibly make it go away.
That is a little concerning. I am pro law enforcement but corrupt cops, and corrupt officials are on the bottom rung along with child molesters and rapists.
Luckily the men that are being mentioned aren’t corrupt. Ramos did this stuff by himself and to himself, it’s not fair to group people bc they are in an organization together. Their character speaks for them, it shouldn’t be marked bc of his disgusting antics.
If anyone is covering up for him, they are as corrupt as him. No one should be deniled a restraining order if they are being threatened.
I agree I was only making comment to what was posted. I hope its not true. It is odd that a member of the SAO office would be so chummy with this POS. I would want to distance myself as far away as I could.
The SAO does NOT issue restraining orders.
But they do influence them
Many people would beg to differ
IKYFL! This is repeat behavior for the lil pistol toting perv, how might he got away with prior instances of such behavior other than these potentially reprobate men? If they were not “corrupt” they would not touch the case and ask to be recused to avoid any conflict of interest. Too bad we don’t have access to the audits to see their trail on CCIS, JIS and any other systems in which are utilized. 👀 I hope for a fair trail.
Men not connected often get passes too. Women victims have to go through a lot to prove they are being truthful and are actually in danger. It’s very unfortunate.
I really hope that these folks mentioned aren’t protecting him.
Been knew this dude was sketchy and weird. What joy do you have hanging around young, undergraduate students when you’re pushing 40? AND he’d voluntarily be security at college parties toting his gun… WEIRDO
Father’s Day is coming up. Lack of fathers is why America’s District 1s everywhere are prone to crime. 😡
What do you mean by saying that district 1 has a problem with fathers??
He’s ex law enforcement and can no longer be a cop in FL anymore due to use of unnecessary force on someone. His own words. Very cocky, very rude, and I have no idea how he gained support through his “company”.
How is he doing all of this and he has something going on for the kids it’s crazy. He just need to do better. Life is too short. Either you going to be there for the kids now or you ain’t. SMH. Ain’t no telling how many kids look up to him as a role model. SMH. It’s very sad.
Many kids look up to a man. To your point, this is the example we want for our children. Let’s examine those points.
A Man:
1. who treats women the way he does
2. who threatens women the way he does
3. uses his connections in law enforcement to get
women’s work and home addresses the way he does
4. has fraternity brothers in the State Attorney’s Office who
can cover up or not investigate
5. has some apparent anger issues to stalk and commit
potential violence against women, this is not isolated.
It is doubtful that any of these incidents only happened to this one victim; I would bet you there are more women who this guy has victimized, and they are afraid of people like his fraternity brothers, a few who are in law enforcement, and a few who work in the State Attorney’s Office and folks like Mrs. Jasmine Jones will try to convince you that it is not all of the fraternity that is not the point.
Clearly, it is not all of the fraternity; however, key members work in places with conflicts of interest. This guy was bragging to the women he threatened that his fraternity brother was the police chief. It is my understanding that his fraternity brother is former police chief Tony Jones, who is now also an employee of the State Attorney’s Office, along with the guy who heads their investigations, which is my understanding, Darry Lloyd. If those people are his fraternity brothers in those key places, then the public should be concerned about potential conflicts of interest.
There should be more “Sunshine,” which means that conflicts of interest and who this guy is associated with absolutely matter, despite Jasmine Jones’s assertion to obfuscate the matter.
He’s trying but no longer with the gov’t because of his reckless behavior. I am curious what things have been sealed or occurred in other jurisdictions. 🤦♂️
That stuff be a cover up. Just like him being a “pastor” and being in social work.
Though his actions doesn’t portray an intelligent being, he is a MSW degree earner. 🤷♂️STUPID FOOL🤦♂️
This is sick and he is deserving of an actual punishment – per the police report he used alternate ways to communicate with the victim and even using the victims daughter as a way for a scare tactic- this is awful- but this is the person who has a non profit organization and a tutoring program for children – you can’t trust anyone- his intentions are not pure and he should really seek professional help since this is a pattern for him often times hidden by those in authority.
Glad they arrested him. Seems like he’s had a pattern of this kind of behavior that’s probably been exacerbated by a brain injury from a motorcycle accident he was in years ago. Hopefully he’ll be handled appropriately by the court system and not bailed out by his friends in high places. But PBS brotherhood is a strong one.
That’s exactly what I said. But do not give him any ideas for his case.
I want to say thank you to everyone who has commented on this and shared ! I hope more people who have been affected by his actions come forward so that this doesn’t happen to ANYONE ELSE ! Making my report was not easy and the fear of retaliation was definitely at the front of my mind! I NEVER want to be anyones victim and definitely don’t want to live in fear for myself or my daughters safety ! I have been told by many people to pray for the best but prepare for the worst ! If you have been affected i ask that you come forward and make a report ! I am only one person but i see he has affected many ! My situation has substantial evidence BUT showing this isn’t a singular occurrence makes this situation so much more serious!!!! Now is the time to speak up ! I DO NOT WANT THIS BRUSHED UNDER THE RUG !
I contacted the police department and they gave me the run around. The arresting officer is names Carlisle.. I’m waiting on him to call me back I even emailed someone from this site to look into it. I didn’t file a complaint because I would have had to give my address for a restraining order and that could give him access to my address and employment. But I have screenshots of text from him.
My name is Jae Young on fb
I sent you a message on fb
I know someone who had personal dealings with him and let me tell you this mutha fucka is CRAZY AF! He lied about why he was let go by DCF for getting reckless driving with alcohol. He tried to push a gofundme account and called and texted excessively and when she didn’t appreciate his aggressive advances he became rude and disrespectful. If you’ve had such a negative and frightful experience I encourage you to speak out! ✊
Judge Brannan-Thank you for not letting him out!!! He sounds very dangerous. I’m sure the victim is relieved he wasn’t let out as well.
I’ve known about his arrest for days but was hesitant to comment due to the same fear of previous women. This man is UNHINGED. Point blank period. First time I met him, he was wearing his gun on his waist, visible for everyone to see. I shortly after told him I was uninterested because everything about his behavior was alarming. He spoke about having a master’s degree, being in a fraternity, and working with kids– but was taking videos of strippers while working as an armed security guard, to joke and laugh about. I would not trust him around my dog, let alone my child. Extremely immature, does not take rejection well, arrogant, obnoxious, and dangerously unpredictable. I pray for the women that he has stalked and threatened. And a thank you to the women that spoke up.
