The Monroe County State Attorney’s Office on July 1 announced the arrest of Luiza Laura Sucharska, 51, for cyberstalking under Florida law. The charge stems from a series of harassing and threatening emails sent to a staff member of the State Attorney’s Office over a four-day period.
Between June 26 and June 30, Sucharska sent dozens of unsolicited and increasingly disturbing emails, despite being explicitly told to stop. The content of the messages included incoherent accusations, references to foreign governments and serious, alarming threats. One of the most concerning emails read:
“Imagine what it does to the human body if a column can collapse. The person’s body suffers, does it? Collagen in the skin gets broken, muscles collapse? Heart attacks?? Am I far from the truth?”
These communications raised immediate safety concerns within the office and prompted a formal investigation by the Key West Police Department, with assistance from State Attorney’s Office investigators.
On June 30, officers made contact with Sucharska at her residence in Key West. After being advised of her Miranda rights, she agreed to speak with investigators and admitted to sending the emails. She stated she felt betrayed by the legal system and wanted to express her feelings.
Sucharska also voluntarily consented to a search of her phone and personally showed officers numerous additional emails she had sent over the course of several days. The messages reflected the same disturbing tone and further confirmed a sustained pattern of unwanted and threatening communication.
She was arrested and taken to the Monroe County Detention Center without incident. During the investigation, it was also discovered that Sucharska is not properly documented, leading to the placement of an immigration hold, which prevents her release regardless of the $17,000 bond set in the case. Additional charges are pending as the case continues to be reviewed by prosecutors.
“We are not going to allow anyone to threaten our staff or public officials without taking strong, legal action,” said State Attorney Dennis Ward. “Whether the target is a prosecutor, judge, law enforcement officer or any other public servant, threats of violence — no matter how bizarre or indirect — will not be tolerated. Public officials must be able to do their jobs without fear of intimidation or retaliation.”
