Brevard County Sheriff’s Office Takes Down Suspect Wanted for Robbery, Aggravated Assault, Sexual Battery
By Space Coast Daily // February 12, 2023
BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – This past Friday morning while at one of our Brevard County Parks, our victims, a female and her boyfriend, were confronted by Donovan Tyler Adkins, who was armed with a firearm, and accused the victims of robbing his people!! Really…this guy has people?
As Adkins pretended to talk to someone on the phone, he forced the female victim into the woods with the firearm and told the male to stay put. After taking the female victim deeper into the woods, Adkins kept the gun pointed at her and ordered her to perform sexual acts on him.
According to the statement of the victim, with Adkins pointing the gun at her face, she refused to comply and told Adkins he would have to shoot her first!! Adkins at this point had exposed himself and the victim began screaming.
The victim’s boyfriend was quickly approaching their location in the woods which startled the suspect, causing him to trip and thereby giving the victim a brief opportunity to escape.
The victim quickly made it back to her boyfriend at which time they were collecting their belongings when Adkins returned to the area and stole the victim’s cellphone before fleeing.
Based upon the testimony of the victims, another person in the park who was familiar with the suspect, and subsequent investigation by our Agents, Adkins was later positively identified as the perpetrator and was taken into custody by members of our team.
Adkins was transported to “Ivey’s Iron Bar Lodge” on a “No Bond” status for Robbery With A Firearm, Aggravated Assault With Deadly Weapon, False Imprisonment, Sexual Battery, Petit Theft, Possession Of A Firearm By A Convicted Felon, and Resisting Arrest Without Violence!! Holy crap this guy has more charges than my wife’s credit card.
On a positive note he won’t have to look very far for his Valentine on Tuesday as he is still sitting in the “Iron Bar Lodge” and will have an entire cell block to pick one from.
Sadly though, I don’t think we offer those big candy hearts in the jail commissary so I’m guessing a honey bun will have to suffice.
