| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: HUNTER, JEFFERY 0441 (AR12-2163) THE DEFENDANT DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HIS ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES, TO WIT: CARISOPRODOL (SOME) AND AN AMPHETAMINE (ADDERAL,) IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.13(6)(A) AND THE DEFENDANT DID UNLAWFULLY RESIST, OBSTRUCT OR OPPOSE DEPUTY JEFFERY HUNTER OF THE CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFFâS OFFICE, WHO WAS THEN AND THERE IN THE LAWFUL EXECUTION OF A LEGAL DUTY, OR EXECUTION OF LEGAL PROCESS, TO WIT: INVESTIGATING A BATTERY, WITHOUT OFFERING OR DOING VIOLENCE TO THE PERSON OF SUCH OFFICER, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 843.02. ON 072912 AT 1850 HOURS, DEPUTY MULLINS AND I WERE DISPATCHED TO THE AREA OF SOUTH US HIGHWAY 41 IN INVERNESS IN REFERENCE TO A BATTERY IN PROGRESS. WHILE EN ROUTE, DISPATCH ADVISED THAT TWO WHITE MALES WERE FIGHTING IN THE AREA OF OUR LADY OF FATIMA CATHOLIC CHURCH BY A BLUE VEHICLE. WE ARRIVED IN THE AREA AND OBSERVED TWO WHITE MALE SUBJECTS STANDING BY A BLUE CHEVROLET CAPRICE. DEPUTY MULLINS MADE CONTACT WITH ONE SUBJECT WHILE I MADE CONTACT WITH THE OTHER SUBJECT WHO WAS LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT, MR ANDREW THOMAS DAVISON. THE DEFENDANT WAS EXTREMELY AGITATED AND DEMANDED TO KNOW WHY HE HAD TO STEP AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE, AS HE HAD BEEN INSTRUCTED TO. THE DEFENDANT WAS ADVISED HE WAS BEING DETAINED IN REFERENCE TO A POSSIBLE BATTERY. THE DEFENDANT WAS VERBALLY ABUSIVE AND COULD NOT STAND STILL, AT WHICH TIME I HEARD A NOISE CONSISTENT WITH PILLS IN A BOTTLE COMING FROM THE RIGHT FRONT POCKET OF HIS PANTS. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT WHAT HE HAD IN HIS POCKETS. THE DEFENDANT IMMEDIATELY REACHED IN TO THE RIGHT FRONT POCKET OF HIS PANTS, WITH HIS RIGHT HAND, AND PRODUCED AN AMBER COLORED PRESCRIPTION PILL BOTTLE WITH NO LABEL. HE HANDED ME THE PRESCRIPTION PILL BOTTLE WITHOUT ME ASKING HIM TO DO SO. THE DEFENDANT STATED HE HAD A PRESCRIPTION FOR THE PILLS. I LOOKED AWAY FROM THE DEFENDANT MOMENTARILY AND HEARD THE DEFENDANT SAY âYOU FUCKERS AINâT GONNA CATCH ME.â I LOOKED AND SAW THE DEFENDANT RUNNING, AT WHICH TIME I ORDERED THE DEFENDANT TO STOP AND WHEN HE DID NOT, I PURSUED HIM. I DREW MY AGENCY ISSUED TASER AND IN THE PROCESS, DROPPED THE AMBER PRESCRIPTION PILL BOTTLE THE DEFENDANT HAD HANDED ME. THE DEFENDANT FORCED HIS WAY THROUGH A HEDGE INTO A RETENTION POND. AS I REACHED THE HEDGE I ATTEMPTED TO TASER THE DEFENDANT WHICH WAS MET WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. I THEN PURSUED THE DEFENDANT THROUGH THE RETENTION POND AREA TO THE SOUTH EDGE OF THE PROPERTY OF OUR LADY OF FATIMA CATHOLIC CHURCH. THE DEFENDANT ROUNDED A HOUSE ON THE SOUTH EDGE OF THE PROPERTY AND I LOST SIGHT OF HIM. CAPTAIN LINHART AND DEPUTY ELDRIDGE SAW THE DEFENDANT AND PLACED HIM IN CUSTODY AS I ARRIVED ON SCENE. WE RETURNED TO THE INCIDENT LOCATION, AT WHICH TIME I DISCOVERED THE OTHER SUBJECTS HAD LEFT THE AREA AND TAKEN THE PRESCRIPTION PILL BOTTLE I HAD DROPPED WITH THEM, HOWEVER, THEY HAD LEFT THEIR VEHICLE AT THE SCENE. DEPUTY CUTLIP AND DEPUTY SLINGERLAND RESPONDED TO THE ADDRESS TO WHICH THE VEHICLE WAS REGISTERED AND MADE CONTACT WITH A SUBJECT NAMED CODY HANNETT. DEPUTY CUTLIP AND DEPUTY SLINGERLAND WERE ABLE TO RETRIEVE THE PRESCRIPTION PILL BOTTLE. SEE THE SUPPLEMENTS OF DEPUTY CUTLIP AND DEPUTY SLINGERLAND. THE PRESCRIPTION PILL BOTTLE CONTAINED EIGHT CARISOPRODOL (SOMA) AND SEVEN AMPHETAMINE (ADDERAL) PILLS. THE BOTTLE AND THE PILLS WERE LATER PACKAGED AND TURNED IN TO EVIDENCE. THE DEFENDANT COMPLAINED OF BEING OUT OF BREATH AND OF HAVING AN ANXIETY ATTACK. EMS RESPONDED TO THE SCENE AND MEDICALLY CLEARED THE DEFENDANT. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK, SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. UPON ARRIVAL, THE DEFENDANT WAS BOOKED AND HELD ON A TOTAL BOND OF $10,500.00, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
