POMPANO BEACH, Fla. – After Valentine’s Day this year, a 26-year-old Pompano Beach felon’s record got longer.
Deshaun “Versace” Robinson — who was associated with a private school — was allegedly in a vicious romantic conflict that resulted in vandalism.

According to Broward Sheriff’s Office records, surveillance video shows Robinson used his left hand to break a house’s window on Feb. 21, and fixing it cost his ex-girlfriend about $1,700.
“He willfully and maliciously damaged personal property,” BSO Deputy Timothy S. Butts wrote in his April 16 arrest report, which listed Robinson’s place of employment as the Premier Academy, a faith-based virtual school based in Coconut Creek that filed for dissolution on March 27, 2023.
Broward prosecutors filed the new felony case against Robinson on May 3. Broward County Circuit Judge George Odom Jr. signed an arrest warrant. Deputies served it on Thursday and he appeared in court Friday.
According to the Florida Department of Corrections, Robinson has four convictions. He was in prison from March 29, 2018, to Oct. 1, 2018, and from July 26, 2021 to Sept. 10, 2023.
There were four arrests in Broward County when he was 18.
There was a traffic case on May 13, 2016. He was accused of grand theft on May 22, 2016; robbery, burglary, and grand theft on Oct. 31, 2016; and burglary and grand theft on Nov. 28, 2016.
At 22, deputies arrested him for battery on Oct. 12, 2020, and Oct. 13, 2020. Prosecutors filed the related court cases on Oct. 15, 2020, and Nov. 17, 2020.
Both Broward cases were dropped when he was 23.
In 2021, records show Robinson was convicted and sentenced for four 2016 offenses: Grand theft of a motor vehicle, robbery, burglary, and grand theft. About eight months after his corrections’ release, he was facing the new charge of criminal mischief with damage of over $1,000, a third-degree felony.
Robinson’s employment status or reported association with the former Premier Academy was unclear Friday. While many felony offenses can disqualify a person from working in Florida public schools, the state’s requirements for private schools are not as strict. There are higher requirements for private school owners than for employees or volunteers.
