Does the Volusia County Sheriff Department exercise a prejudice when determining whether to charge a suspect with unlawful usage of the 911 system? Are lying to the police and attempted suicide by cop, now appropriate uses of the 911 system? White, black, green and which side of the railroad tracks.....could these be possible answers to some recent concerns within the VCSO? We certainly hope that Lady Justice has not been peeking under her blindfold. |

practice equal treament under the law?
Or does the VCSO allow certain biases to influence
their decision on whether or not to arrest an individual?

Recently (May 2013), Patricia Marianetti called 911, lying to them that someone was trying to break into her home off of John Anderson Blvd, in Ormond Beach. Apparently, Marianetti, who has a past history of attempted suicide, wanted a deputy to shoot her, thus committing what is commonly referred to as "suicide by cop". When the deputies arrived at her up scaled home, she pointed what appeared to be a possible firearm at the deputies. One deputy fired a shot, striking Marianetti in the shoulder. |

According to some local media articles, the Volusia County Sheriff Department has stated that criminal charges against Marianetti are not likely.

Criminal Charges are not likely
While we here at VolusiaExposed.Com are not indicating that Marianetti should be charged with misuse of the 911 system, we instead are questioning why others have been charged and arrested for this crime by the VCSO, for far less misuse of the 911 system.
Let's look at exactly what Marianette did. She called 911 - lied about her home being broken into, lied about having a gun. Her lies caused several sheriff deputies to report to her home in an emergency fashion, thus putting their lives in danger, and putting the general public at riskdue to the re-routing of resources.
She tied up a 911 operator for several minutes, based on those lies.
Her actions caused a deputy to use lethal force, thus causing a mandated and costly FDLE investigation into the shooting.
An ambulance had to be dispatched to take her to the hospital, thus putting other citizens lives in danger that might have needed the services of that ambulance.
We would imagine that tens of thousands of taxpayer's dollars were spent in resolving the Marianetti incident.
A local criminal record check indicates that Marianetti had two other run-ins with law enforcment. She has been arrested (2011) for domestic battery and DUI.

Young college student arrested for
alleged misuse of the 911 system
|
While Black?
In October 2012 (approximately 6 month prior to the Marianetti incident), a young college student was arrested by the VCSO, when she called 911 to complain about a VCSO deputy. The deputy was investigating the possible robbery of Ms. Clark's purse / wallet.
According to the arrest report, Ms. Clark's wallet contained such things as her medicaid card, her EBT (food stamp) card and her college identification. Ms. Clark called 911 requesting that either another deputy be sent out, or that a supervisor be sent. The deputy that she had concerns about, arrested her for alleged misuse of the 911 system. |

Interestingly, the State Attorney did NOT drop the charges against Ms. Clark - she was prosecuted.
We invite you to read our web article on the Clark arrest, and determine for yourself whether she should have been arrested for misuse of the 911 system - especially when compared to the Marianetti incident.

Maybe the VCSO did not charge Marianetti
due to her mental health issues?
|
A Call for Help?
In September 2012, 18 year old, Mark Welch was experiencing some strange dreams. These dreams convinced him that he needed to call 911 several times requesting assistance.
Mark was arrested and charged with the first degree misdemeanor, of misuse of the 911 system. It is very obvious that Mr. Welch was suffering for some type of mental health break. Even the court concluded that Welch needed mental health treatment. However, even with the evidence that Welch had been suffering from some type of mental health break, this did not stop him from being arrested and prosecuted. So much for the theory that Marianetti wasn't arrested due to mental health concerns. |

In fairness to the VCSO, VolusiaExposed.Com reached out to the VCSO
for an explanation of why Marianetti was not charged with misuse of the 911 system
|
Gary Davidson, the VCSO Public Information Officer fails to provide an explanation.
Gary Davidson is the public information officer for the Volusia County Sheriff Department.
In the past, Gary has been very helpful in clearing up misguided perceptions attached to VCSO matters. Therefore, we thought reaching out to Gary would provide at least some clarity as to why, the VCSO opted not to criminally charge Marianetti. As of the publication of this article (May 13, 2013), we (VolusiaExposed.Com) have received no response from Gary Davidson, or from anyone else in the VCSO administration. So, it's up to each and every one of you to draw your own conclusions, as to why Marianetti was not charged with misuse of the 911 system, while individuals like Clark and Welch were. We here at VolusiaExposed have our own suspicions. Our suspicions involved three colors - white, green and black, and which side of the tracks you happen to live on.

and VCSO Press Releases The VCSO issued a press release on the Stewart-Marchman molestation incident - but did not issue a press release of a jail rape - why not? No VCSO Press Release on Jail Rape?

Nancye Jones' husband, VCSO Major Robert Jones, supervises the deputies that investigate possible criminal violations within the county jail.
