VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. – Over a dozen people were arrested at “Welcome to Rockville” in Volusia County over the weekend, according to the Volusia Sheriff’s Office.

In a release, deputies told News 6 that the VSO made 13 arrests, consisting of three felonies and 10 misdemeanors.

Furthermore, the sheriff’s office noted that a few of the arrests involved undocumented immigrants, two of whom also face charges locally.
