A police investigation at a home in Coral Gables continued Wednesday after a man allegedly threatened a law enforcement official's family.
A handful of police cars from the Coral Gables Police Department responded to the home on Camp Sano Avenue, near the University of Miami, around 5 p.m. Tuesday, neighbors said.
Multiple sources, including neighbors, said police are focusing on the home of William Hartnett, whose family has a park named after them in Coral Gables.

The police response stems from the harassment of a family of a law enforcement official within the Coral Gables Police Department, sources said. The exact circumstances of that incident were not released.
Hartnett has made headlines in the past — back in 2021, he pled guilty to phoning in threats to the defense attorney of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, who was convicted of murdering George Floyd in 2020.
Chauvin was recorded kneeling on Floyd’s neck for more than nine minutes. The video caused national and international protests and outrage.
