ON 040812 AT APPROXIMATELY 2125 HOURS, I WAS DISPATCHED TO THE RACE TRAC LOCATED AT 1001 NE 5TH STREET IN CRYSTAL RIVER IN REFERENCE TO A PHYSICAL DOMESTIC BATTERY THAT HAD JUST OCCURRED. UPON ARRIVAL I WAS NOT ABLE TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM, WHO WAS ALSO THE COMPLAINANT. I HAD RECEIVED INFORMATION THAT THE VICTIM HAD BEEN BATTERED BY HER BROTHER. SPECIFICALLY, THE VICTIM WAS DRAGGED OUT OF HER VEHICLE AND HIT ON HER HEAD. ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT THE VICTIM UTILIZING THE PROVIDED TELEPHONE NUMBER YIELDED NEGATIVE RESULTS. RADIO DISPATCH DID ADVISE DESCRIPTION OF THE SUSPECTâS VEHICLE TO BE A BLACK CHEVROLET CAMARO POSSIBLE MODEL YEAR 1989. CANINE DEPUTY JOHN RITLI ADVISED THAT HE DID LOCATE THE VEHICLE WHICH ALSO HAD AN OBSCURED EXPIRATION DATE ON THE TEMPORARY TAG. DEPUTY RITLI INITIATED A TRAFFIC STOP AT APPROXIMATELY 2132 HOURS. AFTER A SECOND UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT TO CONTACT THE VICTIM BY TELEPHONE, I DECIDED TO HEAD TOWARDS DEPUTY RITLIâS TRAFFIC STOP WHICH WAS LOCATED ON WEST VENABLE STREET JUST EAST OF US HIGHWAY 19. WHILE EN ROUTE, SGT RYAN GLAZE ARRIVED AS ADDITIONAL BACKUP AT THE TRAFFIC STOP. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE TRAFFIC STOP I DID NOTICE THAT DEPUTY RITLI AND SGT RYAN GLAZE HAD THE FEMALE DRIVER EXITING THE VEHICLE. I ALSO NOTICED THAT SGT GLAZE WAS STANDING OUTSIDE THE PASSENGERS SIDE DOOR REQUESTING THE PASSENGER, WHO WAS LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT MR ADAM TILLMAN, TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. IT WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT BOTH DEPUTY RITLI AND SGT GLAZE HAD SEEN A GLASS PIPE LOCATED IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH WAS USED FOR SMOKING MARIJUANA. THE PIPE FIELD TESTED POSITIVE FOR MARIJUANA. AT THAT TIME, I OBSERVED DEPUTY RITLI GO TO THE DRIVERâS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND UNLOCK THE PASSENGERS SIDE DOOR UTILIZING THE ELECTRIC LOCKING MECHANISM ON THE DRIVERâS SIDE DOOR. I OBSERVED, AT THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT MAKE AN ATTEMPT TO RELOCK THE DOOR. SGT GLAZE WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. THE DEFENDANT MADE ONE LAST ATTEMPT TO CLOSE THE DOOR BUT SGT GLAZE WAS ABLE TO FULLY OPEN THE DOOR AT THAT TIME. SGT GLAZE MADE SEVERAL VERBAL COMMANDS TO THE DEFENDANT TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, TO WHICH THE DEFENDANT DECLINED. AT THAT TIME, SGT GLAZE ATTEMPTED TO REMOVE THE DEFENDANT FROM THE VEHICLE BY PLACING HIS HANDS ON THE DEFENDANTâS UPPER ARMS AND PULLING HIM OUT. THE DEFENDANT WAS STILL ACTIVELY RESISTING SGT GLAZE AND ALSO BEGAN TO FLAIL HIS ARMS AND HIS LEGS IN AN ATTEMPT TO STRIKE SGT GLAZE. THE DEFENDANT WAS STILL SEAT BELTED IN THE VEHICLE. AT THAT TIME, I PROCEEDED TO THE DRIVERâS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, REACHED THROUGH THE DRIVERâS SIDE DOOR AND UNLOCKED THE SEAT BELT FOR THE DEFENDANT. THE DEFENDANT WAS FINALLY REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE AND WAS PLACED ON THE GROUND. THE DEFENDANT WAS AT THAT TIME ACTIVELY RESISTING SGT GLAZE AND DEPUTY RITLI, WHO WAS ASSISTING SGT GLAZE WITH CONTROLLING THE DEFENDANT. THE DEFENDANT MADE THE STATEMENT âIS THAT ALL YOU FUCKNâ HAVE?â, REFERRING TO SGT GLAZE AND DEPUTY RITLIâS ATTEMPT TO CONTROL THE DEFENDANT. I DID OBSERVE THE DEFENDANT ATTEMPTING TO UTILIZE HIS HANDS AND HIS FEET AND DID NOTICE PRIOR TO SGT GLAZE AND DEPUTY RITLI CONTROLLING THE DEFENDANT THE DEFENDANT STRIKE SGT GLAZE AT LEAST THREE TIMES. THE DEFENDANT WAS FINALLY CUFFED BEHIND HIS BACK AND SEEMED TO CALM DOWN SLIGHTLY. HOWEVER, THE DEFENDANTâS ARMS HAPPENED TO BE HANDCUFFED THROUGH THE VEHICLEâS SEAT BELT AND IN ORDER TO MOVE THE DEFENDANT THE HANDCUFFS WOULD HAVE TO BE REMOVED AND REAPPLIED. THE HANDCUFFS WERE REMOVED IN ORDER TO FACILITATE THE DEFENDANT BEING HELPED TO HIS FEET AND ESCORTED TO A PATROL CAR. THE DEFENDANT BEGAN ACTIVELY RESISTING BOTH SGT GLAZE AND DEPUTY RITLI. HE AGAIN BEGAN FLAILING HIS HANDS AND HIS FEET, AT WHICH TIME, CANINE DEPUTY PAUL VIGGIANO BEGAN TO ASSIST, AS WELL. I COULD HEAR SGT GLAZE REPEATEDLY WARN THE DEFENDANT THAT IF HE CONTINUED TO RESIST SGT GLAZE WOULD DEPLOY HIS AGENCY ISSUED TASER. AFTER APPROXIMATELY THREE WARNINGS DEPUTY GLAZE DEPLOYED HIS TASER AT 2141 HOURS. THE DEFENDANT EVENTUALLY COMPLIED AND STOPPED RESISTING. AT THAT POINT, THE DEFENDANT WAS HANDCUFFED BEHIND HIS BACK, ASSISTED TO HIS FEET AND ESCORTED TO THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE WHERE HE WAS SEARCHED INCIDENT TO ARREST WITH NO ILLEGAL ITEMS LOCATED. PRIOR TO PLACING THE DEFENDANT IN MY PATROL VEHICLE I DID DOUBLE LOCK THE HANDCUFFS BEHIND THE DEFENDANTâS BACK. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN PLACED IN MY PATROL VEHICLE FOR TRANSPORT TO THE DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. HIS TOTAL BOND WAS SET AT $11,000.00 AS PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
