APOPKA, Fla. – An Apopka man was arrested on Wednesday afternoon after he “promised” over Facebook to hurt the city mayor, according to the police department.
In an arrest affidavit, police said they were tipped off about the threat earlier this week, discovering they stemmed from 64-year-old Hector Cartagena.

However, police explained that the threat was being sent to someone else via private Facebook messages.
In one message, Cartagena reportedly wrote, “I already promised the child rapist Byron Nelson that he will feel the warmth of my steel blade as I aerate his Esophagus.”
Per investigators, another recent Facebook post by Cartagena reads as follows:
“To Apopka, (expletive) all of you farm Animals, Humanoids your Not, closer to Satan’s minions and there Small minded Opinions, Byron Nelson’s Dad, was the Grand Wizard and you all know it. (Expletive) red necks. Come get some SPIC meat from New York. I’m ready to Party. I’ll give you a heads up, bring bats, you’re gonna need them. So I could beat you with them myself.

On Wednesday, police said they responded to a home along Pavia Drive shortly before 1 a.m., when Cartagena was taken into custody.
“Cartagena had a black knife that was worn around his neck when contact with him was made outside of his home,” the affidavit reads.
Now, Cartagena faces charges of written/electronic threat of harm, threat of harm to an elected official, and aggravated stalking with a credible threat. He is held without bond.
