UFPD Arrests Kissimmee Man For Aggravated Stalking at Norman Hall
Enrique Manuel Montalvo, 23, was arrested by the University of Florida Police Department (UFPD) last week and charged with aggravated stalking.
Montalvo stalked and harassed his ex-girlfriend for three months after she broke up with him in July.
From July to mid-August, Montalvo sent the victim over 50 text messages from 30 different phone numbers. Some of these texts included threats of physical violence.
Montalvo posted the victim’s private information on social media and asked her sorority sisters to tell him her location.
When the victim posted a photo with a man in August Montalvo, who’d been broken up with, spam called the victim’s phone, saying she was “cheating” and that he was coming to Gainesville.
Montalvo found the victim’s car in the parking garage of her apartment complex and sent her a picture of it.
Montalvo would follow the victim in his car as she walked through Norman Parking Lot. Montalvo would get out of the car and yell at the victim as she walked toward Norman Hall.
The victim got inside before Montalvo, and he was unable to reach her due to not having a student ID card. Montalvo told the victim she “better let him in or else.” He left shortly after.
Believing Montalvo was gone, the victim started walking to Playa Bowl and realized Montalvo was following her. Montalvo told the victim “they would be talking,” making her feel trapped. The victim reported she felt she couldn’t leave without Montalvo hurting her or drawing attention, so she talked to him. Montalvo left shortly after.
The victim was afraid to attend class because Montalvo knew the building it was in. Montalvo continued to threaten her over text, and the victim reported him.
Last week Montalvo was caught by UFPD a block away from the victim’s apartment building. Montalvo reportedly told police he intended to talk to the victim and that he reposted her private information as “retaliation.”
Montalvo has a pretrial detention hearing on Monday where Judge David Kreider will decide if he’ll be granted bond or held in jail while his case is ongoing.
