| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: BRUNK, KEVIN 0344 (AR-2028) DID UNLAWFULLY RESIST, OBSTRUCT OR OPPOSE DEPUTY BRUNK, WHO WAS THEN AND THERE IN THE LAWFUL EXECUTION OF A LEGAL DUTY, OR EXECUTION OF LEGAL PROCESS, TO WIT: EXECUTING A WARRANT, WITHOUT OFFERING OR DOING VIOLENCE TO THE PERSON OF SUCH OFFICER, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 843.02. ON 071712, AT 1935 HOURS, I RESPONDED TO 4132 DESERTSAND TERRACE IN HERNANDO FLORIDA 34442 WHERE I MADE CONTACT WITH THE COMPLAINANT, MS VICKI PUSKARIC, WHO STATED THAT HER DAUGHTER/DEFENDANT, MS AMANDA MARIE CRESPO, HAS COMMITTED DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AGAINST HER IN THE PAST, WHICH SHE HAD REPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE. ON 071712, MS CRESPO HAD BEEN VERBALLY AGGRESSIVE TOWARDS HER AND SHE DOES NOT WANT HER IN THE RESIDENCE ANY LONGER. SHE STATED THAT MS CRESPO ALSO HAS A WARRANT FOR HER ARREST. I THEN RAN MS CRESPO THROUGH TELETYPE, WHO ADVISED THAT SHE DID HAVE AN ACTIVE WARRANT FOR HER ARREST. I THEN WENT INSIDE THE RESIDENCE WITH THE COMPLAINANT AND LOCATED THE DEFENDANT WHO WAS HIDING IN A CLOSET IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE RESIDENCE WHO HAD A BLANKET OVER THE TOP OF HER CONCEALING HER PERSON. I PULLED THE BLANKET OFF OF HER AND I ADVISED HER SHE WAS UNDER ARREST, AND SHE REFUSED TO GET OFF OF THE FLOOR. I GRABBED A HOLD OF HER LEFT ARM AND SHE ATTEMPTED TO PULL AWAY FROM ME. I THEN ESCORTED HER TO THE MATTRESS WHICH WAS LAYING ON THE FLOOR, WHERE I ATTEMPTED TO HANDCUFF HER. I WAS ABLE TO GET ONE HANDCUFF ON HER WRIST AND SHE REFUSED TO PROVIDE ME WITH HER OTHER WRIST AND THEN ATTEMPTED TO PUSH UP OFF OF THE BED AND REFUSING TO COMPLY. I THEN PUSHED HER BACK FLAT OUT ON TO THE BED, WHERE SHE CONTINUED TO RESIST SEVERAL MORE TIMES, BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GAIN COMPLIANCE AND GET HER HANDCUFFED. I THEN ESCORTED HER OUT THE FRONT DOOR, WHERE SHE ATTEMPTED TO PULL AWAY FROM ME AND IN DOING SO, ONE OF HER WRISTS CAME OUT OF THE HANDCUFFS WHERE SHE ATTEMPTED TO PUSH ME WITH HER FREE ARM . I THEN ESCORTED HER TO THE GROUND AND ONCE ON THE GROUND, SHE REFUSED TO GIVE ME HER OTHER HAND, SO I THEN APPLIED PRESSURE TO HER BACK, UTILIZING MY KNEE, AND THEREFORE WAS ABLE TO GAIN COMPLIANCE AND RE-HANDCUFF HER. DURING THIS RESISTING OF ARREST, I USED AS MINIMUM FORCE AS NECESSARY TO GAIN COMPLIANCE. DEPUTY LAHERA ARRIVED ON SCENE AND THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN PLACED IN THE REAR OF HIS PATROL VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANTâS WARRANT WAS CONFIRMED VIA TELETYPE, IN REFERENCE TO FAILURE TO APPEAR, OPERATING MOTOR VEHICLE WITHOUT A DRIVERâS LICENSE, WARRANT NUMBER WA12011319, AND CASE NUMBER 2011-COURT-001808. I ARRESTED AND TRANSPORTED THE DEFENDANT TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR THE WARRANT AND RESISTING ARREST WITHOUT VIOLENCE. THE DEFENDANTâS BOND WAS SET AT $500.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
