Central Florida man charged with threatening Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz

A man from Central Florida has been charged with sending threatening emails to Miami-Dade County Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz, according to CBS News Miami and WPLG Local 10. The emails included explicit death threats and a threat to bomb a school.

The suspect, Julio Javier Landaeta, 38, from Kissimmee, pleaded not guilty to two second-degree felony counts: making written threats to kill or cause bodily injury and making written threats to conduct a mass shooting or act of terrorism, CBS News Miami reported.

Court documents show the threats were sent on November 2 to Sheriff Cordero-Stutz's official email account. One email threatened to bomb a school, while another threatened to kill the sheriff's family and referenced telling 'Putin to kill u,' according to CBS News Miami.

Investigators linked the emails to Landaeta through his email account and found an Instagram profile believed to be his, featuring images of the sheriff, law enforcement personnel, and Landaeta wearing law enforcement gear, CBS News Miami said.

The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office Homeland Security Bureau is handling the investigation, and the case remains ongoing as authorities pursue further action.

Local residents are advised to stay informed as the situation develops.
