Chief of Police
DATE OF PRESS RELEASE:
Date of incident: July, 2013
Location of Incident: Satellite Beach
Agency Case #: 2014-10001
Contact Info: Satellite Beach Police Chief Jeff Pearson or Commander Brad Hodge
On Wednesday, March 6, 2014, the Satellite Beach Police Department completed a
lengthy investigation into allegations of Felony Child Abuse and Felony Failure to Report
Child Abuse. As a result of the investigation, an arrest warrant was obtained for the
defendant, Jason John Burchfield (details below). The warrant outlines that on three
separate occasions in 2013, BURCHFIELD visited a male friend in Satellite Beach who
has a minor, step-daughter (under 14 years of age). On three separate visits, the minor
female was made to undress and be completely naked in the presence of the men for
hours at a time, while being forced to consume alcohol, including vodka. BURCHFIELD
acknowledged he was in fact present and confirmed the victim’s allegations.
BURCHFIELD is currently employed as a teacher with the Brevard County Public
Schools, which requires him by law to report such activity. Investigators do not believe
that any criminal events occurred on school property.
BURCHFIELD was charged with:
3 Felony Counts - Child Abuse, Florida State Statute - 827.03 (1)(b)
3 Felony Counts – Failure to Report Child Abuse, Florida Statute – 39.205 (1)
Bond: $36,000
Information regarding his employment status should be obtained through the Brevard
Public Schools in Viera.

Brevard HS softball season looks loaded

If February polls mean anything, 2015 could off
f er a season to remember in local high school soft
f ball.
In rankings compiled by Miracle Sports, six Brevard County high school soft
f ball teams we
w re ranked among the
best in the state in their classifications this we
w ek. The highest-ranked we
w re Astronaut, No. 2 in Class 4A, and
Melbourne Central Catholic, the same in 3A.
Viera, now 12-0, wa
w s third in 7A and Melbourne seventh. Rockledge wa
w s fift
f h in 5A, and behind the War

Eagles in 4A wa
w s Cocoa Beach, at No. 4.
“I think all the teams that are ranked right now are legit. I do,” Melbourne coach Brad Soughers said. “They’re
solid teams, and we
w ’re all pretty close.”
Only the Hawk
w s are unbeaten. Viera coach Dale Pierce has been pleasantly surprised by his team, wh
w ich includes just two
w seniors.
“We’re hitting home runs, and we
w ’ve never hit home runs before,” he said. Pitcher Kiana East hit a big one in the sixt
x h inning Tuesday to lead a 3-2
comeback wi
w n over Melbourne, wh
w ich played in the 7A state tournament last year.
Viera has already wo
w n an early season tournament at Lake Mary, wh
w ere Pierce said his team beat three strong opponents from the Gulf Coast area.
But he has been impressed by more than his own
w team.
“There are a lot of surprises,” Pierce said. “Rockledge is going to be one to contend wi
w th the next
x two
w years.”
The Raiders have a wi
w n over Astronaut, wh
w ich has beaten Cocoa Beach. Melbourne, in turn, has beaten Rockledge and wa
w s scheduled to visit the
Minutemen on Thursday.

f ball/24096565/)
I think a lot of (the high rankings) has to do wi
w th how the team teams ended last season,” Minutemen coach Wayne Moore said, “but there are a lot of
good teams here.”
Returning star Megan Kugelmann leads the Minutemen on the mound. Along wi
w th East at Viera, Holli Jones at Astronaut and Melbourne’s duo of
Shelby Alsdorf and Melanie Murphy, the area has plenty of pitching talent, but Moore sees “an awf
w ul lot of good hitters, too.”
“We’re all a little diff
f erent in terms of wh
w at has gotten us there,” Soughers said. “We’ve all riden diff
f erent horses, but I think we
w ’re all legit.”
Landers agreed wi
w th Moore’s assessment that some of the early season attention is due to reputation. He did predict continued success.
“I think, in the long run, you’re still going to see those teams in the polls,” he said. “I think wh
w at you’re going to find is one or two
w losses may tie for first
in the Cape Coast Conference. If someone can roll through this conference unbeaten, they definitely deserve that trophy.”
