Gainesville woman arrested for stalking neighbors

Staff report

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Aspacia Raine Henley, 24, was arrested yesterday for allegedly stalking her neighbors, including following them to work.

The victims told a responding Gainesville Police Department officer that Henley sent them multiple text messages that, according to the arrest report, “consisted of hate, libel, and threats.” Henley also allegedly followed the victims to their place of employment at least three times and followed them around as they worked; she was reportedly kicked out of the business twice.

The victims reportedly asked Henley to stop contacting them on February 17, but Henley allegedly continued to send them text messages that served no legitimate purpose, and she reportedly threatened that she would escalate her behavior on April 1.

The victims reported that these messages caused them so much distress that they were afraid to sleep at their residence.

Henley has been charged with stalking. She has no criminal history, and Judge Susan Miller-Jones set bail at $25,000 and ordered a mental health evaluation.
