Arrested Volusia County deputy resigns from department
An off-duty Volusia Sheriff's Office deputy who was arrested overnight for riding a motorcycle with a fictitious tag has resigned in lieu of termination from employment, according to VSO. Former deputy Erica Muzzy was stopped on I-4 West near Deltona around 11:07 p.m. on May 31, 2025, riding a motorcycle with a tag that was flipped up and not visible. Earlier in the evening Muzzy was involved in an incident in Deltona. Around 8:51 p.m., a deputy spotted a motorcycle rider at Wawa on 3400 Howland Blvd. who had fled from an attempted traffic stop. While being detained, that rider called out to Muzzy, who was with his group of riders, and who became argumentative with the deputy conducting the investigation. After his arrest, Muzzy left the Wawa riding her motorcycle with a fictitious tag. Muzzy was arrested and charged with possession of a counterfit license plate and was transported to the Volusia County jail. Muzzy had been a deputy since 2021.

Video: Florida officials rescue canoer who overturned and lost his paddle
The Brief A canoer overturned and lost his paddle earlier this week in the Intracoastal Waterway. Florida officials spotted the man and helped to lead him to safety. The man was uninjured and said he was searching for bioluminescence. VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. - When a canoer overturned and lost his paddle earlier this week in the Intracoastal Waterway, Florida officials spotted him and led him to safety. New video released by the Volusia Sheriff's Office (VSO) shows the moments leading up to the rescue. The backstory Earlier this week, VSO deputies say a canoer overturned while out on the Intracoastal Waterway and then lost his paddle. Air One officials were able to spot the man and helped to lead a beach safety Jetski to give him a lift to safety. What we know In the video, the canoer can be seen abandoned in the vessel, holding onto a piece of foliage for security. The Jetski cruises out to meet the man, before then hooking the canoe up to the back of the Jetski and pulling the man to safety. The man was found uninjured. What they're saying "I'm glad you had your phone to call," rescuers can be heard saying in the video. "Me too," the man said. "I had it (the phone) in a Ziploc." The man said he was out at Orange Island for his first time in search of bioluminescence, light emitted by living things through chemical reactions. "You don't get nervous about getting lost back there at night?" the rescuer asks the man, who replies, "No." STAY CONNECTED WITH FOX 35 ORLANDO: Download the FOX Local app for breaking news alerts, the latest news headlines Download the FOX 35 Storm Team Weather app for weather alerts & radar Sign up for FOX 35's daily newsletter for the latest morning headlines FOX Local:Stream FOX 35 newscasts, FOX 35 News+, Central Florida Eats on your smart TV The Source This story was written based on information shared by the Vousia Sheriff's Office (VSO) in a social media post on May 31, 2025.
