Kissimmee Man Accused of Threatening Miami-Dade Sheriff

A 38-year-old Kissimmee man is accused of emailing Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz threats to bomb a school and harm her family. The emails were sent to her publicly listed government address on November 2, according to an arrest warrant. The first threatened a school but did not identify a location or time, investigators said. The second threatened the sheriff and her family and referred to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The second email included an image of Julio Javier Landaeta’s Florida driver’s license. Investigators said the account and internet records led them to a cellphone account in his name and an extended-stay hotel in Kissimmee. A related Instagram account featured images of Cordero-Stutz and other law enforcement personnel, as well as pictures of a person wearing clothing and equipment marked with law enforcement insignia, the warrant said.

Landaeta was arrested at the hotel on November 4. He was later transferred to Miami-Dade County to face two felony counts: one involving a written threat to kill or cause bodily injury, and another involving a written threat related to planning a mass-casualty shooting or terrorist attack. A judge set bond at $30,000 and ordered house arrest with GPS monitoring if he is released. The judge also barred contact with the sheriff and ordered Landaeta to stay away from her home and workplace. He remained in custody on November 12, 2026.
