Father-son duo Robson Darocha Sr. and Jr. were arrested on the 15th for battery (both), assault (Jr.) and criminal mischief (Sr.). Per the Sun-Sentinel and CBS 12, the pair attacked a man at a Subway restaurant. From these sources it appears to have occurred at Lakeside Centre plaza on the southwest corner of Glades and Boca Rio.
The Sheriff’s blotter indicates the two live on Plainview Circle, which is off of Cain Road north of Yamato and south of Boca Chase.
We see two other arrests of an individual from that address, Yelitza Darocha who appears to be the daughter of Darocha Sr. and the sister of Darocha Jr. Both of her previous arrests, in 2013, were for battery. The Palm Beach Court Clerk’s records show 43 cases under the name Robson Darocha dating back to 2002, with some for the father and others for the son. There are also eight cases under the name of Yelitza Darocha. The Sheriff’s blotter shows she has had two battery incidents this year so far.
Despite these lengthy histories and the violent nature of this incident, both men were released on their own recognizance with no bail requirement. Speaking to CBS 12, Ms. Darocha demonstrated what appears to be an ingrained family attitude about violence:
“It was just an ass whooping,” Darocha said. “It was just a normal fight like a regular fight between two men and it wasn’t that big of a deal.”
