VOLUSIA EXPOSED

The Importance Of Probable Cause
In Each And Every Arrest

According to a , former jail inmate, James Ardrey has filed suit against a local bail bonds woman, and her bonding company, 1st Way Out Bail Bonds.

The lawsuit requests over $15,000 in relief - and alleges illegal detainment and imprisonment.

As indicated by the - she (Burdick) took Ardrey into custody in order to surrender his $2000.00 bond regarding an arrest in 2018 under the charge of driving under a suspended license.

However, court records indicate that the October 2018 $2000.00 bond had been set aside by the Court, with Ardrey being released in February 2019 on his own recognizance, commonly referred to as being released - ROR.

It is of interest to this publication - that within the filed lawsuit, Ardrey alleges that he was taken into Burdick's custody at his "residence in Brevard County". However, in Burdick's April 9th, 2019 arrest report - she indicate that Mr. Ardrey was "homeless" - while noting in - filed the same day as the arrest report, that Ardrey "violated the bond conditions by failing to notify surety of (his) new residence". This inconsistency between Burdick's arrest report, and her bond surrender report, does tend to support some rumors (unverified reports) attached to Burdicks's rationale for taking Ardrey into custody.

Rumors Of A Secondary Agenda

Burdick either made an honest mistake, OR perhaps she had a secondary agenda in her arrest of Ardrey. Rumors, connected to Ardrey's housing status, allege that a secondary agenda existed. However, this publication could NOT secure verification of those rumors - therefore, the courtroom will have to be the proper venue in sorting out rumored allegations. Absent further verification, this publication will NOT provide further traction to those rumors.

Why Didn't Brevard County Jail Officials Question
Ardrey's Arrest & Bond Status?

Absent a verified secondary agenda, it would appear that Burdick simply made an honest mistake, due to her being unaware, that Ardrey's $2000.00 bond had been set aside by the Court. However, the question then arises - why didn't jail booking staff pick up on Burdick's mistake?

In fairness to the Brevard County Sheriff's Office, this as to why the jail's booking staff did not verify Mr. Ardrey's bond status prior to taking him into custody. As of the publication of this article - we have not received a response to our email inquiry.

The Dysfunctional 18th Judicial Circuit

Sheriff Wayne Ivey has always been somewhat reluctant to address this publication's questions - we imagine that his (Ivey) reluctance has it's foundation

As - Ivey resigned from the FDLE three days after VolusiaExposed.Com brought these allegations to FDLE's attention.

Further, due to our past association with Investigative Reporter Dana Delaney Loyd - we suspect it is highly probable that Loyd's 2015 arrest and criminal prosecution also has it's foundation within our past coverage of former FDLE agent, and current Brevard County Sheriff, Wayne Ivey.

This publication anticipates publishng an article in the near future, that will question whether the Brevard County Sheriff's Office (BCSO) ever had the legal authority or jurisdiction to investigate the 2015 criminal allegation lodged against Loyd (Making a false report of child abuse)

Our pending article will further explore whether the BCSO, even had the proper authority to investigate the child abuse allegations, including sexual abuse, as alleged by Loyd and others? We suspect that the Department of Children and Families (DCF) has the proper investigative authority for these types of child abuse allegations.

Have BCSO's failures allowed a child to be the subject of horrific abuse? Did BCSO engage in a law enforcement over reach - and did this over reach, deny Loyd both proper due process of law, and a fair and unbiased trial?

As a sneak preview to our pending article, we invite you to read our in which we question whether the sheriff's office had the legal authority to allege probable cause that Loyd made a false call to the Florida Abuse Hotline, absent DCF coming to an investigative conclusion that Loyd's abuse report was indeed - by legal, and DCF definition - a "false report". Neither Sheriff Ivey, nor State Attorney Phil Archer have responded to our email inquiry.

DCF HAS responded to our inquiries - and their responses will be "exposed" within our pending article.

And there you have it for now, the continuing dysfunctional 18th Judicial Circuit in action.....stand by to stand by, there is surely more to come of this......

We look forward to your comments on this situation.
