A 39-year-old man, Tito Evan-Lloyd, was arrested on Monday morning after allegedly threatening to kill everyone at a business during a heated confrontation, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
Around 10:30 a.m., deputies responded to the 4400 block of Eagle Falls Place following reports of an armed individual. Officials stated that Evan-Lloyd was agitated over a paycheck dispute and confronted his former employer while brandishing a concealed firearm.
Witnesses reported that Evan-Lloyd, in a fit of rage, waved the gun and issued threats to kill everyone present. Following the incident, he fled the scene.
Deputies later located Evan-Lloyd at a residence on the 400 block of Royal Palm Empress Drive in Ruskin, where he was apprehended without incident. He is now facing multiple charges, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, felon carrying a concealed weapon, and felon in possession of a firearm.
"It is shocking that someone would resort to such extreme measures over a $75 matter. Violence and intimidation have no place in Hillsborough County," said Sheriff Chad Chronister in a statement. "The suspect's actions were a serious threat to public safety, and our deputies did an outstanding job in bringing him into custody quickly."
