A Boynton Beach man is behind bars after investigators say he bombarded a woman and her young daughter with roughly 90 threatening voicemails, including graphic threats to hurt them and burn down their home. Police arrested 44-year-old Dustin Francis Haxho on July 14, one day after responding to a call about verbal threats at the family’s residence. Detectives described the messages as so relentless and alarming that they rose to the level of criminal charges.
Charges filed in Delray Beach
Haxho is facing two counts of written or electronic threats to kill or cause bodily harm, according to WPBF 25 News. Court listings show the case is moving through the South County Courthouse in Delray Beach. The matter is recorded with the Palm Beach County Clerk’s office at 200 W. Atlantic Ave. Boynton Beach police say they established probable cause after the July 13 call and moved to arrest Haxho the next day.
Past federal complaint shows similar behavior
Federal court documents from 2024 outline a previous investigation that accused Haxho of months of stalking and harassment targeting a different victim. The filings describe burner phone numbers, Zelle payment notes and repeated voicemails used to reach that person. Investigators reported finding GPS screenshots, more than 90 text messages from a single number and instances where Haxho allegedly showed up at the victim’s home, details that supported a cyberstalking complaint in the Southern District of Florida. That earlier filing remains in federal court records and provides context for investigators’ concerns in the current case.
Police review and probation officer identification
In the latest investigation, the current victim turned over about 90 voicemails that authorities say include threats against her and her daughter and threats to set the home on fire. A federal probation officer reviewed the recordings and identified the voice as Haxho’s, according to police reports cited by WPBF 25 News. Haxho was arrested on July 14 and booked in Boynton Beach. Officers say they had probable cause for the state charges, while prosecutors will decide whether to seek pretrial detention or impose conditions tied to any federal supervision that may still apply.
What the charges mean
Florida law makes it a crime to send written or electronic threats to kill or seriously injure someone. The prohibition and penalties appear in section 836.10 of the Florida Statutes. Punishment depends on factors such as prior convictions and whether other offenses are involved, and can include felony prison time and supervised release if there is a conviction. Prosecutors and defense attorneys will weigh those factors as the case moves through the South County courthouse.
The investigation is still active. Authorities have asked anyone with information to contact Boynton Beach police. This story will be updated when additional court records or charging documents become available.
