Orange County resident Garnett Lloyd, 29, who was arrested last spring for two counts of allegedly breaking and entering Delta Zeta sorority house, is in jail again today after a Charlottesville judge revoked his bail for a parole violation.
This violation was the result of Lloyd's arrest and charge for allegedly making a threatening phone call to a 17-year-old Orange County girl Friday Oct. 22.
The Orange County girl reported Lloyd to the local sheriff's department after charging that he made explicit phone calls threatening her with rape, according to Orange County police reports.
Until yesterday, Lloyd had been free on a $15,000 bond - the result of his arrest and charge of one count of breaking and entering into the Delta Zeta sorority house in October 1998.
Lloyd also faces a second, March 14, 1999, charge of breaking and entering into the same sorority house.
During that event, the Delta Zeta housemother alerted city police of an intruder in the house, and Lloyd was arrested on the scene.
Residents reported stolen undergarments and personal photographs as well as the use of their phone line to make $300 worth of 900-number sex calls.
Lloyd has a criminal history including assault and battery charges for fondling sales clerks at local clothing stores.
Lloyd has been found guilty six times for sex-related crimes and has served about 100 days in jail.
After this most recent incident, Asst. Commonwealth Attorney Ron Huber said he decided to call for a special bond hearing to ask for the revocation of the $15,000 Charlottesville bond.
"We are also taking steps to revoke Lloyd's circuit court bond to keep him in jail," Huber said.
He said he felt that Lloyd's circuit court bond would be revoked very soon and he would be kept in jail.
Lloyd's most recent charge is a misdemeanor count, which will be processed in the Orange County court system.
His two breaking-and-entering charges will be processed in Charlottesville courts, and are Class 6 felony charges, which are punishable by up to 20 years imprisonment and/or up to $2,500 fine.
Lloyd has also been a suspect in the on going investigation of the rape of a University student that occurred under Beta Bridge Oct. 14, 1998.
By revoking his bond, Commonwealth attorneys could keep Lloyd in jail through this Thursday's hearing on his first charge of breaking and entering, and through his Nov. 29 jury trial for his second charge of breaking and entering.
A hearing for Lloyd's most recent charge has not been set.
"We were pleased the court revoked [Lloyd's first] bond and he remains in jail," Huber said. "It is something we have long sought to do."
