An assistant professor with the UF College of Pharmacy was released from jail Tuesday after he was once again arrested when a judge said he violated a restraining order from his previous arrest.
University Police originally arrested Vishal Lamba on charges of stalking and resisting arrest June 14. He was released from the Alachua County jail on a $5,000 bond the next day, according to Alligator archives.
On July 1, the State of Florida filed a motion to revoke Lamba’s bond after he sent an email from his university account to the woman he was accused of stalking, according to Alachua County court records.
After a hearing July 7, the court revoked Lamba’s bond and ordered he be placed back in jail, according to the records.
His defense filed a motion the next day to reconsider the decision, arguing that someone had requested a copy of Lamba’s email conversations with the woman, and he mistakenly clicked “reply all” and sent the email to the woman, according to the records.
The court instead raised Lamba’s bond to $10,000 and required him to wear a GPS monitoring device after his release.
Lamba was released from jail Tuesday night on the $10,000 bond.
