“Te voy a matar hijo de perra,” Gandara wrote in a text message, according to a police arrest report. It’s Spanish for “I am going to kill you son of a b ___.”
Police officers arrested Gandara at about 3:50 p.m., on Tuesday, at her home in the Pinewood neighborhood, according to the arrest report.
Correctional officers booked her shortly before 3:45 a.m., on Wednesday, at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, county inmate records show.
Miami-Dade prosecutors filed a felony case against her on Wednesday on a charge of written threats to kill or cause bodily injury, records show. A judge set her bond at $5,000.
Court records show Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge Laura Stuzin is set to preside over the case. If found guilty of the written threats charge, Gandara could face up to 15 years in prison.
