ON 011513, I RESPONDED TO THE BELL VILLA MOTEL, ROOM NUMBER ONE, WHICH IS LOCATED AT 3430 SOUTH SUNCOAST BOULEVARD IN HOMOSASSA, IN REFERENCE TO A SUBJECT FIRING SEVERAL SHOTS IN TO THE AIR. UPON MY ARRIVAL, I BANGED ON THE FRONT DOOR OF ROOM NUMBER ONE, IN ATTEMPT TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE OCCUPANTS OF THE ROOM. A WHITE FEMALE, LATER IDENTIFIED AS DEFENDANT, MS PEGGY ABNEY, THEN OPENED THE FRONT DOOR OF ROOM ONE AND I IDENTIFIED MYSELF AS THE CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND ASKED TO SEE HER HANDS. AS I MADE THIS STATEMENT, I SAW THE DEFENDANT THROW SOMETHING ON THE FLOOR, WHICH WAS LATER IDENTIFIED AS AN ORANGE PILL WITH â60â MARKED ON ONE SIDE AND âMâ MARKED ON THE OTHER SIDE. THIS WAS A MORPHINE PILL IN A CELLOPHANE WRAPPER WITH TWO WHITE PIECES OF WHAT APPEARED TO BE COTTON. THE DEFENDANTâS BOYFRIEND ROGER WAS THEN ASKED TO EXIT THE ROOM. I ASKED TO SEE HIS HANDS ALSO. HE STATED THAT THEY HAD HEARD THE SHOTS ALSO, BUT THAT IT WAS NOT THEM THAT HAD FIRED THE SHOTS. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT WHO THE ROOM WAS REGISTERED TO AND SHE ADVISED THAT IT WAS REGISTERED TO HER. I THEN ASKED HER FOR PERMISSION TO SEARCH THE ROOM AND SHE ADVISED THAT WE COULD SEARCH HER ROOM. LOCATED IN THE ROOM WERE SIX USED SYRINGES AND TWO SPOONS WITH A WHITE CHALKY SUBSTANCE ON THEM THAT HAD BEEN MELTED DOWN. A CRACK PIPE WAS ALSO FOUND INSIDE A LOCKED SAFE THAT THE DEFENDANT GAVE US THE KEYS TO OPEN. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE DEFENDANT WAS PRESENT THE ENTIRE TIME DURING THE SEARCH. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN READ MIRANDA RIGHTS VIA PREPRINTED AGENCY CARD AND ASKED IF SHE UNDERSTOOD HER RIGHTS, TO WHICH SHE REPLIED THAT SHE DID. I THEN ASKED HER IF SHE WISHED TO SPEAK WITH ME AT THIS TIME, TO WHICH SHE ADVISED THAT SHE WOULD. DEPUTY DERA WAS ALSO PRESENT FOR THIS. THE DEFENDANT THEN STATED THAT THE GLASS PIPE WAS USED FOR SMOKING CRACK COCAINE. SHE ALSO STATED THAT SHE GOES TO A PAIN CLINIC LOCATED SOME WHERE IN OCALA, BUT SHE COULD NOT GIVE ME A PRESCRIPTION BOTTLE FOR THE MORPHINE PILL. SHE STATED THAT SHE IS IN SO MUCH PAIN THAT SHE DOES NOT TAKE THE PILLS, THAT SHE SHOOTS THEM UP AND THAT IS WHY THE USED SYRINGES WERE FOUND ALL OVER THE ROOM. SHE ALSO ADVISED THAT THE WHITE SUBSTANCE ON THE SPOONS COULD EITHER BE MORPHINE OR OXYCODONE. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT WHERE SHE WAS GETTING THE MONEY TO PURCHASE HER NARCOTICS, DUE TO THE FACT THAT SHE DOES NOT WORK AND SHE STATED THAT PEOPLE SEND HER MONEY. I ASKED HER THIS QUESTION DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE DEFENDANT HAS A SECOND DEGREE ROBBERY WARRANT OUT OF OKLAHOMA, BUT THEY WILL ONLY EXTRADITE FOR THE SURROUNDING STATES. WHEN I ASKED HER ABOUT THE WARRANT, SHE ADVISED THAT SHE DID NOT KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. THE EVIDENCE WAS THEN PHOTOGRAPHED AND COLLECTED TO BE TURNED IN TO EVIDENCE. THE DEFENDANT NEVER COULD GIVE ME AN ANSWER AS TO WHERE SHE OBTAINS HER MONEY FROM. I ALSO LOCATED IN THE DEFENDANT ROOM AN UNKNOWN MALES CHECKBOOK OUT OF OKLAHOMA ALONG WITH AN UNKNOWN MALES CREDIT CARD STATEMENT OUT OF OKLAHOMA. THEY BELONGED TO TWO DIFFERENT INDIVIDUALS THAT SHE COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY SHE HAD THEM WITH HER. THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT ALL ITEMS IN THE ROOM WERE HERS AND BELONGED TO HER BOYFRIEND. I ALSO MADE CONTACT WITH THE PHARMACIST AT THE CVS IN INVERNESS, WHO ADVISED THAT THE ORANGE PILL WAS 60 MILLIGRAMS OF MORPHINE. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED, (DOUBLE LOCKED), BEHIND HER BACK, SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANT'S TOTAL BOND WAS SET AT $6,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
