“I am disgusted by the alleged actions of this individual that have resulted in his arrest, and as such, I have directed my staff to facilitate his termination from our agency!!” Sheriff Wayne Ivey said.

Robillard’s arrest stems from a Nov. 19 incident in Orange County, the Brevard sheriff’s news release said. Details, however, have not been released.

“As everyone knows, I am extremely proud of the amazing men and women of the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office who work hard every day to bring honor to our badge!! An incident of this nature is absolutely unacceptable to me and I can assure you that our team will be doing everything possible to assist and support the Orange County Sheriff’s Office in their investigation, so that justice can be served!!” Ivey said.

Robillard, who lives in Osceola County, started working for the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office in March 2020.

Robillard was being held without bail at the Orange County Jail in Orlando. 

A court hearing is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Monday.
