Department of Juvenile Justice Contract Worker Arrested for Domestic Violence

A Davenport woman employed by the Bayskids organization that contracts with the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice was arrested by deputies from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office following a domestic violence incident on March 15th.




41-year old Ieshia Saunders was taken to the Sheriff’s Processing Center and charged with Simple Battery. Saunders serves as a Lead Community Supervision Specialist for Bayskids.

Deputies arrested Saunders after responding to her residence for a family disturbance, and determined she had battered an adult family member.

“It’s troubling when someone in her position, who works with children, is accused of battery on her own family member,” said Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd. “Professionals who work with children have a responsibility to maintain a high standard of behavior.”
