NEWBERRY, Fla. – Ryder Skye Mock, 29, was arrested yesterday after allegedly attacking a woman with a metal pipe, causing significant damage to her pickup truck.

According to an Alachua County Sheriff’s Deputy, at about 3 p.m. on April 9, Mock was arguing with the victim when he started hitting the victim’s truck with a metal pipe; he allegedly broke the front driver’s side window, the rear driver’s side window, the driver’s side mirror, and the front windshield. He also allegedly dented the front grill, along with both doors and the front quarter panel on the driver’s side. The deputy estimated that the damage would cost well over $1,000 to repair.

The victim reportedly filmed the incident, and the deputy reported that the video shows her telling Mock that she wants to leave while she is sitting inside the truck and Mock is hitting the truck with the metal pipe; the deputy noted that the victim was in fear that she would be hit with the pipe.

Mock has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and felony property damage. He has three felony convictions (one violent) and three misdemeanor convictions (non-violent), and he is currently on probation in two drug cases; he has served one state prison sentence and was released in 2022. Senior Judge Bo Bayer ordered him held without bail pending a hearing on a motion from the State Attorney’s Office to hold him without bail until trial. On April 14, Judge James Colaw granted the motion and ordered him held without bail.
