We sit and have a causal table talk with newly reelected 2nd Term Volusia County Sheriff Michael Chitwood. He talks about his earlier days as a beat cop in Philly, how he got into law enforcement, and that originally it wasn't really something he wanted to pursue. We also learned that he had a scholarship to play baseball in college and that he partied too hard while pursuing his childhood dream.  He talks about his first arrest that happens to sound like a punchline to a joke, with a Pastor getting robbed by a hooker and her pimp! He also talks about why him and one of the greatest, influential basketball players of all time don't get along too well; former Philadelphia Seventy Sixer Allen Iverson.  Sheriff Chitwood informs us that he and his dad, Michael Chitwood Sr.; which was also formerly in law enforcement, started off as arch enemies, but now they are the best of friends. Talks about just because things are Lawful don't mean they're not awful. How officers went from guardians of the community to a warrior mentality and how he's trying to bring that perception back. We really hope you enjoy this very insightful interview. Let me just paint a picture, we had technical difficulties which happened to be a mute button on the sound board. And Sheriff Chitwood was so patient with us and understanding.  Mind you this took approximately 5 mins, and he kept his cool and showed not one sign of frustration. Just an example of his character, so when the interview starts, you see us figuring out the issue on our end. I felt it was a great precursor for the tone of the interview. Hope you all enjoy!  Please Follow us on all of our platforms: https://linktr.ee/Bro_Rantz
