Deborah Staley Cuevas, born on March 28, 1960, is a 65-year-old African-American woman known in her community as a volleyball coach and math teacher.
While her coaching background hasn’t been detailed in public reports, her name surfaced in connection with a legal incident on the night of July 28, 2025.
She was arrested by the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office in Sebastian, Florida, for resisting an officer without violence.
Deborah Cuevas Arrested For Nonviolent Resistance!
The arrest occurred at 10:49 p.m. on U.S. Highway 1, a major roadway in Sebastian, Florida.
While specifics of the encounter have not been disclosed, the charge is “resisting an officer without violence.”
This suggests that Ms. Cuevas may have verbally declined to follow police commands or shown passive resistance.
No physical confrontation was reported, and her case appears to be a misdemeanor.
She was booked into the county detention facility at 11:50 p.m. the same night.
Ms. Cuevas posted bond shortly after her arrest and was released from custody at 7:17 a.m. on July 29, 2025.
She might have paid a court-approved amount to regain her freedom while awaiting potential legal proceedings temporarily.
Reactions to Cuevas’s arrest have been mixed, with some online commenters expressing surprise due to her professional background as a former educator and volleyball coach.
One of Deborah Staley Cuevas’s former students commented on the post, saying:
Damn my old math teaxher damn
free her
Her case remains public record, and like anyone charged with a crime, she is presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
For now, she is no longer in jail and is likely preparing to navigate the legal process with her legal counsel.
