Police Respond To Federal Judge's FL Home For Third Time Following Arrest

Police have responded to the home of a Florida federal judge for the third consecutive night since he was arrested on assault charges earlier this week.

A heavy police presence was observed outside the home of 51-year-old Timothy Maher at Northwest 88th Street and First Avenue in El Portal, just after 10 p.m.

Miami-Dade Police’s Special Response Team was at the scene with an armored truck.

Maher was arrested Tuesday on an aggravated assault with a firearm charge after he allegedly threatened his ex-girlfriend with a gun.

Maher bonded out of court on Wednesday.

As of 10:30 p.m. on Thursday, officers had cleared the scene. 

Officials did not specify why the large presence was needed.
