When Innocence Pleas
Covering For Police, Prosecutorial, & Judicial Misconduct


On November 29, 2023 - this publication attended a DeLand court hearing in which Ms. Iyanna Rollins took a plea deal regarding her 2022 arrest for the alleged battery of two Volusia County sheriff deputies. (see courtroom video ==>>)

This publication has opined that Ms. Rollins is factually innocent - and that any fault leading up to Ms. Rollins' arrest rested firmly with Volusia Sheriff Deputy Chad Weaver - and ultimately with Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood (more on this later).

Since her arrest on July 18, 2022 - this publication has published several articles detailing Ms. Iyanna Rollins' arrest & criminal prosecution. These "related articles" have been incorporated within this particular article, and we invite our readers' to review, so that they can develop a full appreciation of the facts surrounding Ms. Rollins' wild ride through the Volusia County criminal justice system.

Fabricated Case - Officials Conspire
Initially, State Attorney Refused To Offer Plea Deal


Given the apparent conspiracy (our opinion) between the police - the prosecutor - and the judge - to fabricate a case against Ms. Rollins, we suspect that she had little choice in her decision to take the prosecutor's plea offer.

Interestingly, the prosecutor's office initially (October 2023) stated for the record (see below courtroom video) - that they would not be offering any plea offers to Ms. Rollins. That quickly changed, upon this publication putting the Court on notice that we wished to cover the entire court proceedings, to include the jury voir dire process. (see below related articles)

Suspected "Jury Packing"
With The State Attorney & Judge Being Inclusive To The Conspiracy,
It's Time To Secure A "Packed" Jury


Our desire to cover the "complete" trial - including the jury voir dire - was to vet out our suspicions that the Court would engage in the illegal practice of "jury packing".

"Jury packing" is a process whereas prospective jurors are NOT randomly selected - rather the prospective jury pool is hand selected by governmental authorities - because of their (prospective jurors) known biases or positions (ie. - pro-law enforcement, etc.).

Frankly, this publication has suspected for several years - that certain high profile cases were "jury packed" (see below linked example - Greenlaw brothers) - thus ensuring the conviction, or acquittal of the criminal defendants.

We (VolusiaExposed.Com) were of the opinion that a guilty verdict against Ms. Rollins could only be secured with a "packed jury", and we expressed this belief via a November 17, 2023 "OPEN LETTER" To Court Officials. We were hopeful that Ms. Rollins' trial would provide us the opportunity to test out our jury packing theory.



The Judicial Bias Of Judge Randall Rowe



This publication believes that the prosecutor was not offering Ms. Rollins' a plea deal because they were overly confident of a conviction, especially given Judge Randall Rowe's "quid pro quo" judicial decision in favor of the prosecution and Sheriff Chitwood, regarding the defendant's Motion to Suppress.

We suspect that Judge Rowe's "judicial decision" was influenced by his desire to gain the support of the prosecutor and the sheriff, in his bid to secure a gubernatorial appointment to the 5th District Court of Appeal. (see below related articles for particulars, as well as past letters of recommendation from both the sheriff and the state attorney recommending a 5th DCA judicial appointment for Judge Rowe)

The Encounter
At 2629 Academy Ave


Ms. Rollins was fresh out of high school when she encountered Volusia Sheriff Sergeant Chad Weaver, as he was responding to a residential burglary alarm within the city limits of Deltona .

Sgt. Weaver alleged that upon his arrival at the suspected burglary alarm address, he observed Ms. Rollins pulling her car out of the suspected address' driveway.

In reality, Sgt. Weaver had missed the actual burglary alarm address (2639 Ainsworth Ave) by one entire block, instead arriving at 2629 Academy Ave.

Sgt. Weaver's Bull Shenanigans
Weaver Knew Exactly Where He Was - But Was Unaware Of Whom He Was Dealing With


Sgt. Weaver would later allege that he had "mistakenly" arrived at the wrong address (2629 Academy Ave).

This publication suspects that Weaver - through his usage of GPS technology knew exactly where he was (see below picture).

We further suspect that Weaver was in the process of conducting a "perimeter" check of the area, when he came across Ms. Rollins. Our suspicions then leans towards the belief, that Weaver initially thought that Ms. Rollins was a Ms. Naomi Robinson - a person whom was actually living at the burglary alarm address (2639 Ainsworth Ave) - and was in the process of being evicted from that address. (see below related article & booking mugshots, AND more on this shortly)

his cellphone GPS application



Sgt. Weaver's Poor Demeanor




Sgt. Weaver failed to immediately advise Ms. Rollins of the purpose of his traffic stop - and further, Weaver escalated the encounter with his aggressive demeanor and actions. (see video ==>>)

We believe that Sgt. Weaver's poor demeanor was influenced by his belief that he was encountering the resident of the burglary alarm address (2639 Ainsworth Ave) - a Ms. Naomi Robinson, and that Robinson was being difficult with him in explaining her presence in the area. In reality - Sgt. Weaver was encountering Ms. Rollins - who had no idea why she was being detained by Sgt. Weaver.

Sheriff "Media" Mike Chitwood's Hurt Feelings




Sheriff Chitwood escalated the situation by becoming offended - as memorialized by his own written social media posting (see right of page ==>>) - that individuals, other than Ms. Rollins were calling into question whether Sgt. Weaver's actions were unprofessional, and illegal.

In our earlier coverage (see incorporated media links) - this publication stated our belief that Ms. Rollins' arrest was facilitated more by Sheriff Chitwood's hurt feelings & Sgt. Weaver's false assumptions - than by any actual criminal acts by Ms. Rollins.

Naomi Robinson's Arrest
And Her Sweet Plea Deal


Remember, Ms. Maomi Robinson - the woman that lived at the actual burglary alarm address (2639 Ainswoth Ave) - well three days after Ms. Rollins' arrest - Ms. Robinson was also arrested by the Volusia Sheriff's Office.

According to her arrest report (click here to read), Ms. Robinson was arrested for fleeing to elude, and assaulting two sheriff deputies - actually biting one of the deputies.

With very little difficulty, the State Attorney dropped many of Ms. Robinson's charges, and then gave her a rather nice plea deal - by withholding adjudication on the remaining charges. Ms. Robinson's plea deal can be easily reviewed within the below linked article.

Why Was Ms. Rollins' Case Dragged Out?


So, given that Ms. Robinson had similar charges - filed by the same policing agency - during the same time frame - why did Ms. Robinson get a rather quick disposition of her case - with a sweet plea deal - while Ms. Rollins' case was dragged out for over a year and a half - before the State Attorney's Office would even offer her a plea deal?

For us here at VolusiaExposed.Com - the answer appear to be simple. The conspirators (sheriff, prosecutors, judge) were prepared to "railroad" Ms. Rollins with a "packed jury" - in order to send a political message - that if you, or your family or friends embarrasses, or questions the sheriff on social media - he, and his co-conspirators will gladly "railroad" you through the local criminal justice system.

We suspect that our coverage on Ms. Rollins' arrest and prosecution, including the details of Ms. Robinson's arrest and plea deal, coupled together with our desire to explore our "jury packing" theory - "inspired" the state attorney's office to offer Ms. Rollins a very similar sentence / plea deal (click here to read).

Actually, Ms Rollins in not the first to be "railroaded" by these conspirators - recently we argued how Sheriff Chitwood presented a false narrative on a fourteen (14) year-old school girl (see below linked media article for particulars). The sheriff, and his co-conspirators, sent this child to prison for twenty years, for something a seventy-four (74) year-old retired Marine Corps Master Sergeant will probably just get probation for. And there you have it - liberty and justice are only available for those that don't piss off Sheriff "Media" Mike Chitwood.

Closing Thoughts


Recently (September 2023) - and upon Mr. Othal Wallace NOT being convicted for the murder of Daytona Beach Police Officer Jason Raynor, Sheriff Mike Chitwood made some public statements that called into question the validity of the local jury system (see below linked articles). Yes, sheriff, you see - we can agree on somethings. We both have concerns on the validity of the local justice system.

Here is where we probably disagree. While you see the public (jurors) as the problem - we see law enforcement administrators, much like yourself, as the "problem".

Sheriff, you can not engage in aggressive policing - and at the same time, expect to keep the faith of the public. Neither, can you lie on a fourteen (14) year-old child (Jackson-Maldonado) - and not call into question the honesty and validity of local law enforcement. You also can not retaliate against a young woman (Rollins) - simply because your deputy "made a mistake" - failed to de-escalate, causing you to receive some negative social media posts.

These individuals that you have denied fairness and justice to - they all have friends and family - that will one day be sitting as jurors. That is unless the system can quietly keep them for serving on a jury - via the suspected "jury packing" scheme, that we believe is on-going within the local justice system.

The government must first modify their behavior - in order to regain the trust of the governed.

Sing it Reba !!!! ..... the lights are getting a little low here in Volusia County.......
