Online court records show 25-year-old Ryan Steven Lewis of Jacksonville, was charged on Monday, Feb. 9 with communicating threats.
According to warrants, Lewis allegedly threatened to harm everyone inside a probation office. Investigators say the threats were made directly to two probation officers.
