Florida Couple Arrested After School Altercation

A Florida couple, Jorge Rivera and Dagmarie Aponte Iturrino, were arrested after violently confronting a school resource officer at Deltona Middle School regarding their son’s battery charge for pushing a classmate. Bodycam footage captured Rivera verbally abusing the deputy, calling her derogatory names, and escalating to physical violence as he punched her and stole her Taser. Sheriff Mike Chitwood condemned their actions, stating they exemplify why some children lack respect for authority. Both parents face multiple charges, including battery on a law enforcement officer and resisting with violence, while Rivera faces additional charges of armed robbery and grand theft. The deputy involved suffered concussion symptoms and received hospital treatment. The incident highlights the troubling behavior of parents in school-related disputes.
