TAMPA, Fla. — A Riverview woman was arrested and charged Tuesday after she allegedly made online death threats against Governor Ron DeSantis.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement reported the threats to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office on Monday. The messages were received by Governor DeSantis' office on his state website.
The message was authored by Danyele Callaway, 20, and included a request for an immediate in-person meeting and life-threatening statements, which prompted staff to call authorities.
HCSO said Callaway has a history of interactions with law enforcement, including arrests for battery on public servants and other charges. Detectives said Callaway has also made previous threats against the governor.
HCSO Behavioral Resource Unit went to Callaway's home where she allegedly admitted to making online threats. She was arrested and faces charges of written or electronic threat to kill or inflict bodily injury.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
