The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office reports that a man was taken into custody early on Monday morning following an altercation in which he threatened to kill every employee at a business.
Tito Evan-Lloyd, 39, allegedly threatened his former employer with a gun, according to officials. Deputies were called to the 4400 block of Eagle Falls Place at 10:30 in the morning.
Evan-Lloyd reportedly confronted the manager after becoming irate over a paycheck, according to the sheriff’s office. He is charged with making threats to kill everyone while brandishing a concealed weapon.
Investigators claim that he took off following the incident. The HCSO reports that at a residence on the 400 block of Royal Palm Empress Drive in Ruskin, deputies discovered Evan-Lloyd.
