Ex-Port Orange police sergeant jailed for violating probation; gun, samurai sword in home
DAYTONA BEACH — Former Port Orange police sergeant Steven Braddock was sentenced on Monday to 30 days in the county jail for violating his probation after officers found a gun, a samurai-style sword and bullets in his home.
Braddock lowered his head after Circuit Judge Raul Zambrano pronounced the sentence. Minutes later, a bailiff handcuffed Braddock, who was then fingerprinted and escorted out of the courtroom to be taken to jail.
Braddock and his wife, Mary Braddock, were placed on five years probation on Dec. 1 stemming from an exploitation of the elderly case.
Mary Braddock was also accused of violating probation, but Zambrano dismissed the complaint against her. The judge found that she was unaware that there was a firearm in the house. But Zambrano warned her to make sure that she was following the terms of her probation and if she had any questions to ask her probation officer.
Steven Braddock, 52, was charged in 2019 with exploitation of an elderly person or disabled adult and with uttering a forgery, both felonies. Mary Braddock, 52, was charged with being a principal to the same offenses, meaning she was also accused of participating in the crimes.
Besides sentencing them to probation in December, Zambrano withheld adjudication, meaning they do not have felony convictions on their records. Zambrano kept the withhold of adjudication on Monday.
