GAINESVILLE, Fla. _ Florida Gators assistant director of player personnel Otis Yelverton has been arrested and charged with cyberstalking his former girlfriend.
Yelverton has been placed on leave following the third-degree felony charge of aggravated stalking. The 51-year-old currently was in Alachua County Jail with no bond set.
Yelverton allegedly harassed his former girlfriend after she ended their year-long relationship on April 14. According to court records, Yelverton called, text-messaged and Facebook-messaged the woman 40 times.
On April 21, Yelverton left a threatening voicemail stating he would "blow up" her vehicle, records state.
In addition, text messages used "multiple vulgarities and demeaning language," which placed the woman in a state of fear. She told police she asked Yelverton to cease contact, believing Yelverton could physically attack her.
The woman had previously filed a report with Alachua County Sheriff's Office stating she wanted Yelverton to end communications. Photographs were taken of the unwanted messages and an audio recording was made of the threatening voicemail.
