Central Florida law enforcement are vehemently denying allegations of racism and police brutality after shutting down a block party that drew around 3,000 attendees.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Central Florida law enforcement are vehemently denying allegations of racism and police brutality after shutting down a central Florida block partyThe event, which was held in the Spring Hill community of DeLand, started Saturday afternoon and lasted through through early the next day.
DeLand police Chief Jason Umberger explained in a joint press conference Monday with Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood that the shutdown of the party had to do with “lawlessness,” not discrimination toward the black community in DeLand. At around 10:30 p.m., a rifle was pointed at a Volusia County sheriff’s deputy, Umberger said. The rifle-pointing started a string of incidents that led to a Volusia sheriff’s deputy struck with a bar stool and another sustaining a leg injury, while a DeLand police officer was hit in the head with a jar as he helped a deputy make an arrest.
“Ninety-five percent of the people out there were probably having a good time but you have 5% who were out there inciting a riot, carrying firearms, selling drugs and destroying the community’s quality of life,” said Chitwood.
