Police remain at Coral Gables home of man accused of threatening police officer

A detectives’ investigation included a home across from the University of Miami in Coral Gables.

Police officers parked along Campo Sano Avenue near Brunson Drive on Tuesday and remained there on Wednesday afternoon.

Ed Angelo Jr. said his neighbor was accused of making death threats against a Coral Gables police officer. Local 10 News sources said the threats were on social media.

Miami-Dade property records show the four-bedroom home, which faces the Riviera Country Club, lists Tamara Hartnett as the owner. State records show William Hartnett III used the address to register several companies.

Last year, William Hartnett, 42, of Coral Gables, pleaded guilty in federal court to threatening the defense attorney of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted in the murder of George Floyd, according to federal prosecutors.

“You and your whole [expletive] family are going to [expletive] die, you [expletive], for representing Chauvin, a [expletive] murderer.  Now, you all are going to [expletive] die a worse death than Floyd,” Hartnett said during an 18-second voicemail, according to prosecutors.

FBI Miami investigated the 2021 case and a federal judge sentenced Hartnett to four years of probation.

This is a developing story.
