An Orange City man pulled a knife on a bicyclist accused of touching a tattoo on the knife-wielding man's wife on a trail at Gemini Springs, deputies said.

Ronald Ames, 24, was charged Monday with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and false imprisonment. The bicyclist, Joao Lameiro, 44, of Deltona, was also arrested and charged with battery for touching the tattoo on the shoulder of Ames’ wife, deputies said.

According to a Volusia County Sheriff’s Office report, Candis Ames was exercising on a trail at Gemini Springs, 37 Dirksen Road, just before 10 a.m. Monday when Lameiro passed her.

Candis Ames greeted Lameiro with a “good morning” and Lameiro later approached her and made conversation about her shoulder tattoo, investigators said.

The woman told deputies that she repeatedly told Lameiro to leave her alone but Lameiro grabbed her left shoulder, reports state.

Candis Ames said Lameiro apologized and left but she called her husband. The woman said she did not expect Ronald Ames to drive where he was in Longwood to the park to confront Lameiro, deputies said.

Records show Ames was out of the Volusia County Branch Jail on $10,000 bail. He could not be reached Tuesday. Lameiro was being held Tuesday on $500 bail, records state.

Deputies arrived at the facilities building at Gemini Springs to find Ronald Ames and Lameiro in front of the building. They saw Ronald Ames acting verbally aggressive toward Lameiro saying, "So you like touching girls on the trail." Ronald Ames then quickly pulled a silver-colored folding knife and a yellow-colored utility knife from his right side pants pocket, deputies said.

The husband told deputies he was holding the folding knife in his hand as he told Lameiro to "sit down and shut up" and that he intended to strike Lameiro with it if Lameiro refused to cooperate, the report states.

Lameiro, who was remorseful, told deputies that he tried to apologize to Ronald Ames. But the husband threatened to stab him if he tried to leave, the arrest report states.
