Polk County Sheriff’s Office:
“When it comes to evictions in Florida, there is a right way and a wrong way.
Early Thursday morning, October 9th, 61-year old Dion Robbins of Pittsfield, Massachusetts learned he was doing it the wrong way.
Robbins owns property in Lake Wales and decided he wanted to evict the residents there, and he traveled down from Massachusetts to make it happen.
At approximately 2:18 am, PCSO deputies were dispatched to the residence regarding a burglary in progress.
When deputies arrived, they heard yelling behind the home, and went around back to find Mr. Robbins engaged in an altercation through a window. Robbins was shirtless and had blood on his face.
Deputies moved in to secure Robbins in handcuffs, but he resisted, struggled, and kicked one of the deputies as she was trying to gain control. His resistance was short-lived, and he was cuffed and secured in a patrol vehicle.
According to the arrest affidavit, Robbins showed up at the residence, pushed the window AC unit inward, then attempted to enter through the window.
Fearing for his safety, the victim began hitting Robbins in the face to keep him from getting inside.
Dion Robbins was charged with: Burglary with Assault, Battery on a LEO, Resisting with Violence, and Resisting without Violence.”
