The Brief
LAKE COUNTY, Fla. - The trial for Robin Severance-Lopez – the estranged wife of suspended Osceola County Sheriff Marcos Lopez, is set to start Nov. 10.
What we know:
Discovery documents show recorded phone calls between Severance-Lopez and Marcos Lopez.
Lopez is set for a pre-trial on Nov. 10.
Why was she arrested?
The backstory:
Lopez was previously arrested in June alongside her husband in connection with an alleged racketeering case involving an illegal gambling operation . She was charged with conspiracy to commit racketeering and released several weeks later on a $400,000 bond, after a judge verified the source of the bond money.
The new charge — providing false information or omitting material facts in a bail application — stems from that earlier bond process. P
