ON 022617 AT APPROXIMATELY 0707 HOURS, WHILE TRAVELING NORTHBOUND ON NORTH LECANTO HIGHWAY, I SPOTTED A BLACK 4-DOOR VEHICLE TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I CLOCKED THIS VEHICLE TO BE DOING 70 MILES PER HOUR AT THE INTERSECTION OF NORTH LECANTO HIGHWAY AND NORTH WHISPERING OAK LOOP, WHICH IS A 55 MILES PER HOUR SPEED ZONE. WHEN THE VEHICLE PASSED MY LOCATION, I SAW THE DRIVER WHO WAS LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT, MR ALEXANDER LAMB. I MADE A U-TURN TO PURSUE THE VEHICLE. WHILE TRYING TO CATCH UP WITH THE VEHICLE, I WITNESSED THE VEHICLE PASS TWO VEHICLES IN A NO-PASSING ZONE. THE SUSPECT VEHICLE THEN TURNED ONTO BEVERLY HILLS BOULEVARD, TRAVELING EASTBOUND. I THEN CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP UTILIZING MY OVERHEAD EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT IN MY CLEARLY MARKED PATROL VEHICLE. I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT WHO WAS CLEARLY INTOXICATED. THIS WAS EVIDENT DUE TO HIS GLASSY EYES, SLURRED SPEECH AND THICK TONGUE. I COULD ALSO SMELL THE HEAVY ODOR OF ALCOHOL EMITTING FROM THE DEFENDANT. I INFORMED THE DEFENDANT THE REASON I STOPPED HIM, WHICH WAS FOR EXCESSIVE SPEED. I ASKED FOR THE DEFENDANTâS DRIVER'S LICENSE, REGISTRATION AND PROOF OF INSURANCE. THE DEFENDANT THEN PROVIDED ME WITH THE REGISTRATION, BUT ADVISED THAT HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS LOST AND HE HAD NO PROOF OF INSURANCE AS THE VEHICLE DOES NOT BELONG TO HIM. I RETURNED TO MY PATROL VEHICLE AND COMPLETED THREE UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATIONS: UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION NUMBER A1P2ZTP FOR EXCESSIVE SPEED, UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION NUMBER A1P2ZVP FOR FAILURE TO PROVIDE DRIVER'S LICENSE, AND UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION NUMBER A1P2ZUP FOR PASSING ZONE VIOLATION. UPON RETURNING TO THE DEFENDANTâS VEHICLE, I ASKED THE DEFENDANT TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN ORDER TO RECEIVE HIS CITATIONS. THE DEFENDANT SIGNED HIS CITATIONS. WHILE TRYING TO PROVIDE THE DEFENDANT COPIES OF HIS UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATIONS, I BEGAN INQUIRING ABOUT HIS SOBRIETY AND ADVISED HIM THAT I WOULD NOW BE CONDUCTING AN INVESTIGATION IN REFERENCE TO HIM POSSIBLY BEING INTOXICATED. THE DEFENDANT SAID âMY NIGER, FUCK THIS SHIT, IâM OUTâ AND BEGAN TO QUICKLY WALK SOUTH ON NORTH WASHINGTON STREET. I GAVE LOUD VERBAL COMMANDS FOR THE DEFENDANT TO RETURN, TO WHICH HE IGNORED MY COMMANDS AND BEGAN A SLIGHT TROT AWAY FROM MY LOCATION. I THEN JOGGED TOWARDS THE DEFENDANT AND CONTINUED TO GIVE LOUD VERBAL COMMANDS FOR HIM TO RETURN, TO WHICH HE ALSO IGNORED. THE DEFENDANT THEN TURNED AROUND, THREW BOTH OF HIS HANDS IN THE AIR AND SAID âIâM GONNA FUCK YOU UPâ. THE DEFENDANT THREW HIS HANDS UP AND STARTED APPROACHING ME AT A FAST PACE. I THEN GAVE LOUD VERBAL COMMANDS FOR THE DEFENDANT TO STOP WHILE WALKING TOWARDS ME, THE DEFENDANT WHO HAD ON BAGGY CLOTHING, BEGAN REACHING TOWARDS HIS BACK POCKET AND UNDER HIS SHIRT. I UN-HOLSTERED AND TOOK SEVERAL STEPS TO MY RIGHT TO EVADE THE DEFENDANT. I THEN DEPLOYED MY AGENCY ISSUED TASER WITH ONE PRONG STRIKING THE DEFENDANT IN THE MIDDLE UPPER BACK AND THE OTHER IN THE MIDDLE LOWER BACK. THIS IS DUE TO MY EVASION AND THE DEFENDANTâS LACK OF REACTION. ONCE THE FIVE SECOND CYCLE STARTED, THE DEFENDANT WAS NOT EFFECTED. THE DEFENDANT TURNED TOWARDS ME AND STARTED TO APPROACH ME WHILE SAYING âTHIS SHIT AINT FAZING ME, IâM STILL GONNA FUCK YOU UPâ. DUE TO THE SHORT DISTANCE, I REMOVED MY AGENCY ISSUED PEPPER SPRAY AND AIMED IT AT THE DEFENDANTâS FOREHEAD. I RELEASED A SHORT SPRAY WHICH DID HAVE AN EFFECT ON THE DEFENDANT WHO BEGAN TO FLAIL AROUND. I GAVE THE DEFENDANT LOUD VERBAL COMMANDS TO GET ON THE GROUND AT WHICH TIME DEPUTY GERENA ARRIVED ON SCENE AND HANDCUFFED THE DEFENDANT BEHIND HIS BACK, DOUBLE LOCKED. EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES MEDIC UNIT 111 ARRIVED ON SCENE TO EVALUATE THE DEFENDANT WHO WAS LATER MEDICALLY CLEARED. THE DEFENDANT WAS COHERENT AND ABLE TO OPEN HIS EYES. I THEN READ THE DEFENDANT MIRANDA RIGHTS VIA PREPRINTED AGENCY CARD AND ASKED IF HE UNDERSTOOD HIS RIGHTS, TO WHICH HE REPLIED THAT HE DID. I THEN ASKED HIM IF HE WISHED TO SPEAK WITH ME AT THIS TIME, TO WHICH HE ADVISED THAT HE WOULD NOT. THE DEFENDANT WAS ALSO READ HIS IMPLIED CONSENT REQUESTING HIM TO SUBMIT TO THE APPROVED TEST OF HIS BREATH FOR THE PURPOSE OF DETERMINING THE ALCOHOL CONTENT OF HIS BLOOD. THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT HE WOULD NOT SUBMIT TO THE APPROVED TEST OF HIS BREATH. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE AND RESISTING WITHOUT VIOLENCE, SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. PRIOR TO LEAVING THE SCENE, THE VEHICLE THE DEFENDANT WAS DRIVING WAS TURNED OVER TO MR CODY WAYMAN, A PASSENGER AND REMOVED MY MR WAYMANâS AUNT. THE DEFENDANT WAS CHARGED WITH DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE WITH A $1,000.00 BOND AND RESISTING WITHOUT VIOLENCE WITH A $1,000.00 BOND FOR A TOTAL BOND AMOUNT OF $2,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE DEFENDANT WAS ISSUED A FLORIDA DUI UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION, CITATION NUMBER 4912-XDX WITH A MANDATORY COURT APPEARANCE ON 031617 AT 1300 HOURS AT THE CITRUS COUNTY COURTHOUSE. |
