| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: BEETOW, CHARLES 0295 (12-179335) (AR12-3092) DID UNLAWFULLY COMMIT BATTERY UPON THE VICTIM BY ACTUALLY AND INTENTIONALLY TOUCHING OR STRIKING SAID PERSON AGAINST SAID PERSON'S WILL, OR BY INTENTIONALLY CAUSING BODILY HARM, TO WIT: SLAPPING THE VICTIM IN THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE FACE SEVERAL TIMES AND PUSHING HER INTO A KITCHEN COUNTER, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 784.03(1)(A)(1). ON 100912 AT APPROXIMATELY 1610 HOURS, I RESPONDED TO 320 SOUTH MONTGOMERY AVENUE, INVERNESS IN REFERENCE TO AN ALTERCATION THAT HAD JUST OCCURRED. UPON ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM, MS LISA KELL, AND HER SISTER, MS KELLY KELL. LISA ADVISED THAT SHE WAS INVOLVED IN A VERBAL ALTERCATION WITH HER BOYFRIEND/SUSPECT, MR ANDREW CANNON. SHE FURTHER STATED THAT THE ARGUMENT STARTED OVER A FACEBOOK ACCOUNT WHICH SHOWED THAT THERE MAY HAVE BEEN CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN LISA AND AN EX-BOYFRIEND. WHEN ANDREW DISCOVERED THIS, HE IMMEDIATELY BECAME UPSET AND STARTED SCREAMING AT HER. AT ONE POINT, HE PUSHED HER BACKWARDS INTO A KITCHEN COUNTER AND THEN SLAPPED HER TWICE IN THE RIGHT SIDE OF HER FACE. AFTER BEING STRUCK, ANDREW THEN LEFT THE SCENE. AFTER THE INCIDENT OCCURRED, SHE CONTACTED HER SISTER KELLY TO COME TO THE RESIDENCE. I THEN SPOKE WITH KELLY WHO ADVISED THAT SHE WAS CONTACTED BY HER SISTER IN REFERENCE TO THE BATTERY. SHE HERSELF DID NOT SEE WHAT HAD HAPPENED. WHILE SPEAKING WITH LISA, I DID OBSERVE THE RIGHT SIDE OF HER FACE TO HAVE A LARGE AREA OF REDNESS AND SCRATCHES. I ASKED LISA IF ANDREW HAD INFLICTED THESE INJURIES, TO WHICH SHE STATED YES. AFTER GAINING THIS INFORMATION, DEPUTY MOORE AND DEPUTY HOWARD TRAVELED TO A LOCATION WHERE THE SUSPECT RESIDES. WHILE THE DEPUTIES ""BOLOEDââ THE AREA, I FOUND THE SUSPECT WALKING TOWARDS THE VICTIMâS RESIDENCE. I ASKED THE SUSPECT, LATER IDENTIFIED AS MR ANDREW CANNON, WHAT HAD HAPPENED. HE APPEARED TO BE UPSET AND STATED THAT HE HAD BEEN IN A VERBAL ALTERCATION WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND, LISA KELL. HE FURTHER STATED THAT THE ARGUMENT STARTED OVER A FACEBOOK ACCOUNT AND WHEN HE CONFRONTED HER ABOUT THE ACCOUNT, SHE STARTED TO GET ARGUMENTATIVE. ANDREW FURTHER ADVISED THAT THE ARGUMENT WAS HEATED AND THERE WAS A LOT OF SCREAMING, BUT ABSOLUTELY NO PHYSICAL CONTACT. ANDREW ADVISED THAT HE HAD WALKED HOME, COOLED OFF FOR A LITTLE BIT, GOT INTO HIS VEHICLE AND DROVE BACK TO THE RESIDENCE. AFTER SPEAKING WITH ANDREW, DEPUTIES HOWARD AND MOORE CONTACTED THIS DEPUTY. DEPUTY HOWARD ADVISED THAT HE HAD SPOKEN WITH THE SUSPECTâS ROOMMATE, MR DANIEL PUZINO. DANIEL STATED TO DEPUTY HOWARD THAT ANDREW CAME WALKING HOME AND ADVISED HIM THAT HE WAS IN AN ARGUMENT WITH LISA. DURING THE COURSE OF THIS ARGUMENT, ANDREW ADMITTED TO SLAPPING LISA SEVERAL TIMES. I AGAIN TALKED TO ANDREW AND ASKED HIM AGAIN IF HE HAD STRUCK LISA, TO WHICH HE AGAIN STATED NO. I PHOTOGRAPHED THE INJURIES LISA HAD SUSTAINED. A WRITTEN STATEMENT WAS GATHERED AND LATER TURNED IN TO RECORDS. I PROVIDED LISA WITH A CASA BROCHURE, A VICTIMS RIGHTS BROCHURE AND I ALSO PROVIDED LISA WITH AN AGENCY ISSUED CASE CARD BEARING THIS CASE NUMBER AND MY IDENTIFICATION AND ADVISED HER TO CONTACT THIS AGENCY WITH ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS CASE. AFTER GAINING INFORMATION FROM EVERYONE INVOLVED, THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR SIMPLE BATTERY, HANDCUFFED, BEHIND HIS BACK, (DOUBLE LOCKED), SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANTâS BOND WAS SET AT $500.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
