Arrest for Rick Scott Death Threat
April 2nd, 2015 by Mike Vasilinda
36-year-old Ruba Khandaqji has been charged in Osceola County with threatening to kill Governor Rick Scott. She first made the threat on a recorded line., telling authorities that she is trapped in this country and wants to be deported.
“Please tell the Governor that she is hiring a hit man and he will kill..he will do that” said Khandaqji, knowing she was being recorded.
Gretl Plessing of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement says she repeated the threat to deputies when they showed up on her doorstep.
“Agents with the Osceola Sheriff’s office went to arrest her yesterday evening and she told them she planned to hire a hit man to kill the Governor, so she is charged with two counts of a threat and resisting arrest with non violence” says Plessinger.
Khandagji also sent an email in February that did not contain a threat, but put her on police radar.
