Local Cops Concealing the Alleged Sexual Criminal History of a Hired Officer and Parent Ormond Beach Police Department

Jacob Cannon is currently incarcerated for felony battery after splitting open a woman’s face when she was “difficult” during a Breathalyzer test. For this on-duty FELONY assault, he received only six months in jail.

We sought records from Cannon's applications and the records we sought were intended to reveal his past and show whether he should ever have been trusted with a position at the Ormond Beach Police Department.

Instead, OBPD redacted the information under Florida Statute 435.09, improperly claiming it was protected as part of FCIC/FDLE/FBI background checks. But the law does not cover narrative statements submitted on employment applications unless specifically protected elsewhere.

So, what was hidden?

“I plead guilty due to [s*xual battery] being battered and pestered on a consistent basis from my stepmother and father. My stepsister (who was six years old) accused my father of the same acts. My case was adjudicated in 2006. I had the record sealed in 2015.”

Cannon—just 12 years old at the time—also wrote that he was manipulated by the interviewer, stating: “They were playing off the energy they received from my parents, coercing a confession.”

We obtained this information legally from the Alpharetta Police Department, who redacted properly under their statutes rather than using overbroad exemptions to possibly cover themselves. We applaud Alpharetta for following the law.

But here in Ormond Beach? The question remains: why was this man hired as a police officer? With allegations like this, combined with the violent viral video, the problem is clear. The abuse he himself described - did it shape the anger he later unleashed on the woman he slammed, leaving her with a permanent forehead scar that now requires plastic surgery?

Chief Jesse Godfrey: why did you hire him? And why did HR go so far as to thank this criminal for his “service” in a letter? He litereally resigned for splitting a handcuffed woman's face open... Admonishment—none. Gratitude—yes.

Yesterday’s story about a New Smyrna Beach Police Department officer revealed a police report and a name in the text messages so we searched for it.

Before serving as a Volusia Deputy and later as a New Smyrna Beach officer, Devon Blissett was arrested - but the charges were dropped just 17 days later.

According to the report, Blissett discovered his ex-girlfriend talking with another man. After yelling at them, he chased the couple in a vehicle, hitting it multiple times. At the Walmart in Port Orange, he cut them off, causing a crash.

The vehicle was occupied by the man and the girlfriend Blissett had separated from. Witnesses reported that Blissett banged on the driver’s side of the truck. When the girlfriend attempted to shield the man, Blissett shoved her to the ground. The driver told police he was only trying to restrain Blissett and did not want to press charges.

In a post-Miranda interview, Blissett admitted speaking with officers after initially refusing. He claimed the truck’s driver braked abruptly to force a collision.

Blissett was arrested, but prosecutors filed “No Information,” resulting in dropped charges. The only listed charge was battery—despite the report’s details suggesting potential vehicular and stalking-related offenses.

This fits a troubling pattern: when law enforcement officers face domestic violence or related charges, cases are often “no info’d” (dropped) in a matter of days, as seen with officers and deputies in Daytona, New Smyrna, and Volusia. Meanwhile, civilians accused of similar conduct frequently face the full weight of the criminal justice system.

Former Volusia Deputy who admitted to ma$**rbating on duty, cleared of admissions then hired at New Smyrna, faced new allegations.

Devon Blisette a former Volusia Sheriff Deputy self-reported his own s*x on duty where he went to his supervisor and admitted to doing the act. He immediately resigned but then recanted his story. The report claims that it was hearsay despite he reporting it.

Speaking to a local attorney, they said - "IA Investigations are not bound by the hearsay evidence rule like in court." The evidence should have been looked at under the administrative rules pertaining to their collective barganing agreement, they stated. "It looks like they were avoiding the evidence rather than following any real rule."

Regardless of this he was hired at New Smyrna in November 2023 (see badge pinning photo) A third party reported to Ormond Beach Police Department allegations of domestic violence. OBPD responded to the home for a well-being-check. Officers cited no issues at the home and it was neat. Both Parties denied any events. The findings were "NOT SUSTAINED"

The report however indicates the ex wife of Blissett who has a child in common. The report states The ex-wife was recently speaking with (REDACTED) on the phone and (REDACTED) informed that she was fearful of devon becuase while he was drunk Devon allegedly "wave a gun around." (REDACTED) stated that she believed that any potential improprietites (by Devon) would be covered up by law enforcement.

Ormond Beach Officers responded and spoke to the woman alone and she stated that several years ago the couple contended with martital issues inclusding physical abuse / domestic violence, but that has all been addressed.

Ormond officers concluded that nothing criminal took place between them.

The report shows text messages between two redacted names that appear to be the current and former wife to blisette

The report indicates -

"Devon Pointed an unloaded firearm at (REDACTED), Pulled the trigger and asked if she was scared. (Redacted) did not report the incident due to devon blissett being in the academy at the time. (REDACTED) noted in a text message that the incident occured after a wedding in Ocala. No other details surrounding this incident were provided.

The findings were not sustained and it does not appear that any charges were brought against the reporting parties or the officer.

Text messages also show that the conversation talked about possible s*xual encounter between the two redacted names via text. "I told him ok stop. Please stop like three times before he finally did."

We have requested all calls to the home to determine if any other details. How did these get past a background check if he swapped agencies recently.

Palm Bay Police Department Cop Gets PROBATION for SX with 13-year-old ON DUTY

Yesterday, we searched via the NAME of the defendant and could not find the record. A viewer provided the case number and now we learned that he received 5 years of probation for his crimes. For some reason, instead of prosecuting like a true offender would be it looks like the charges were reduced to an aggravated battery instead of R**e, S** Battery, and other charges associated with a minor.

The court records are sealed and you can not access them. It appears a divorce was also finalized during the period this case was going on.

HOW?!?

Despite being arrested for SX on duty with a 13-year-old girl - Court records and zero evidence of an offender on the FDLE Database. Did they quietly let this one go?

Who can find Sheridon Archer's charging affidavit?

He was alleged to have met her on the Snapchat app, gone to her home, and sx assaulted her. According to an interview with former Deputy Chief Fisher of Palm Bay, FDLE almost in a way to justify this said that he could have thought she was older.

We are gone as a society. On duty? Sent pics, Climbed through windows to meet (Red flag dont you say?

These are no longer heroes as they portray online.
