Deltona Woman Arrested for Repeat Battery Offenses in Volusia County
Rivka Sobhan, 36, of Deltona, Florida, was arrested on January 15, 2025, and booked into Volusia County custody on charges of battery – second or subsequent offense. She was held on a $2,500 bond for one count, while the second charge carried no bond status.
Under Florida Statute 784.03(2), a second or subsequent battery offense is classified as a third-degree felony, punishable by up to five years in prison, five years of probation, and a $5,000 fine. Florida law treats repeat battery offenses seriously, with enhanced penalties for those with prior convictions.
Details surrounding the incident, including whether the alleged victim was a family member, acquaintance, or stranger, have not yet been disclosed. Given the no-bond status on one of the charges, Sobhan may remain in custody until a judge determines if release conditions are appropriate.
Her case will proceed through the Volusia County court system, where prosecutors will assess her criminal history and the circumstances of the alleged battery to determine whether enhanced sentencing or diversion programs may apply.
