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.
