Florida Deputy Arrested, Was It Fair? A Family’s Fight in Court and Beyond. When David was sworn in as a Deputy for the Marion County Sheriff’s Office in Florida, it felt like the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. Coming from a long family line of police officers, law enforcement wasn’t just a career option, it was a calling. “He wanted this more than anything,” recalls his wife, Dr. Svetlana ‘Lana’ Kirchevshy-Ur, a doctor who was completing her medical residency in Gainesville at the time. “It was a dream he worked hard to achieve, even later in life.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LawEnforcementTalkRadioShow"> Facebook </a> , <a href="https://www.instagram.com/letradioshowpodcast/"> Instagram </a> , <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnjwiley/"> LinkedIn </a> , <a href="https://medium.com/@letradioshow"> Medium</a> and other social media platforms.
Is he an ex Law Enforcement Officer, or a former Law Enforcement Officer, you get to decide. An "ex" Law Enforcement Officer is someone who was fired, or resigned under duress and left in less than honorable conditions. He is the guest on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most podcast platforms.
But that dream quickly unraveled. Less than a year after his first patrol assignment, David was accused of making “false reports.” On May 10, 2021, he resigned “under duress” after being threatened with criminal charges. Two days later, those threats materialized. David was arrested on four counts of making false official statements, charges that his wife insists were groundless. “There were no allegations of any crime committed by my husband,” they said.

The Fight in Court
The legal ordeal stretched on for years. “The State Attorney’s Office kept refiling and changing charges,” they explained. “But in the end, 18 of the 20 charges were dismissed by a judge, and the last two were dropped.” Florida Deputy Arrested, Was It Fair? A Family’s Fight in Court and Beyond.
Despite being cleared, the damage was lasting. David was placed on the Fifth Circuit State Attorney’s Brady list, a designation meant to flag law enforcement officers with potential credibility issues. For David, this was devastating. Inclusion on the Brady list effectively barred him from ever working in law enforcement again.

Local news outlets, including the Ocala Gazette, questioned whether the Brady list was being applied fairly. A 2024 article noted inconsistencies, pointing out that some officers with internal dishonesty findings weren’t listed, while others landed on the list for what appeared to be minor procedural issues. “For my husband, the Brady list isn’t just a bureaucratic footnote, it’s a career-ending label,” Lana said.
