Man arrested for domestic battery, arrested again 16 hours later for violating no-contact order
Staff report
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Ellis Louis Houston, 35, was arrested early yesterday morning for domestic battery, then arrested again at 4:52 p.m. when he went back to his home, violating a no-contact order imposed as a release condition for the previous arrest.
Following his arrest just after midnight yesterday for domestic battery, Houston was released on his own recognizance by Judge Walter Green, with a requirement for day reporting. Houston was ordered to have no contact with his wife but was granted one visit to pick up his belongings while accompanied by a law enforcement officer.
At 4:27 p.m. yesterday, Houston reportedly called the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office to request that a deputy accompany him to pick up his belongings and said on the recorded call that he was at the house alone.
The deputy reported that when he arrived, Houston was walking in and out of the house, gathering his belongings. The deputy placed him under arrest for violating the no-contact order, which says in bold letters, “If the defendant goes to the home without a law enforcement officer, it is a violation of this standing no contact order.”
Post Miranda, Houston reportedly said he was given permission to be at the home by the 911 call taker, but the deputy reported that a review of the call recording showed that this was not true.
The deputy also reported that on the way to the jail, Houston saw the deputy’s wedding band and picture of his child on his phone screen; Houston allegedly noted the deputy’s name and threatened to “look [him] up” so he could find his home and rape his wife. Houston also allegedly said he wanted the child to be raped because the deputy had only arrested him because of racism; Houston allegedly added that he would be out of jail by tomorrow, which the deputy took as a threat to harm him and his family.
Houston was charged with violating the standing no-contact order.
Houston has a juvenile criminal history, 20 adult felony convictions (one violent), and 13 misdemeanor convictions (none violent). He has served five state prison sentences, with his most recent release in July 2022. Houston was arrested in October 2022 for grand theft of a vehicle, three counts of lewd and lascivious behavior against a victim between the ages of 12 and 16, and two counts of battery; all the charges were later dropped. The arrest report for yesterday’s domestic battery charge noted that deputies have responded to Houston’s residence seven times since May 2023 for domestic disturbances.
Judge Green set bail at $5,000.
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.
A piece of paper is not going to protect anyone, put their ass in jail and keep them there until they go before judge sentencing or give the victim gun to use if they do violate the order
Emotional intelligence is upmost important. These simps have no clue.
Give him Judge Green’s home address and personal phone number.
JUDGE GREN RELEASES HIM ROR ? Did the judge know of his past record? This guy is dangerous. And then to yell Racism!! OMG. The judge needs to go. Our town is in danger because of him.

Green has to be an inside operator for a certain political party
Always remember there’s 2 sides 2 a story. Lmfao..
He just needs a therapist it’s obvious he has mental issues!
U kno there’s always 2 sides 2 a story. Right.
The continuous setting of ridiculously low bail by Walter Green is more of a crime to society than the crimes by these worthless career criminals.
“Houston was released on his own recognizance by Judge Walter Green”
And….there you have it….Judge Green to the rescue (of violent criminals) again.
Judge Walter Green is an absolute menace to our community. Houston has rap sheet a mile long, the police have been out 7 times in 6 months for domestic disturbances, and Judge Green lets the guy out with no bail so he can immediately break the law again?
Judge Green was probably planning to give this guy $8,000 bail before he found out that the guy had threatened a police officer’s family, then lowered it to $5,000.
Does the State review the sentencing and bail amounts set by judges in order to determine when they have gone rogue? All I found was a description of the complaint process:

U guys r lonely bro. There’s 2 sides 2 a story. Right
So Judge Walt ROR this idiot after he violates a no contact order and then threatens to look up a deputy’s family and rape his wife and child. If this guy follows through what are the ramifications for Walt. He needs to be removed from the bench. Hopefully the deputy needed to do a couple of brake checks on the way to the jail.
If he Threaten the police officer. That’s a third degree felony..
Way to ROR him Walt!!! 😫😫😫
With his history of RORs and low bails, this situation seems to me like a bomb getting ready to blow. I’m reminded of the first Ghostbusters; the “spiritual” tension was palpable. The Ghostbusters kept warning everyone that the lid was going to blow – all the signs were there, yet certain politicians and citizens ignored them, even encouraged the evil. Judge Green keeps allowing the “ghosts” out, free to roam our streets. It won’t be long now before the city is in complete and utter chaos and someone will have to answer to all of the “I told you so’s”.
Can you sue a judge who let’s your abuser out of jail ROR and the abuser comes back to abuse some more? Asking for a friend.
