THE DRIVER OF ANY VEHICLE INVOLVED IN A CRASH RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THAT OF ANOTHER PERSON'S PROPERTY, SHALL IMMEDIATELY STOP SUCH VEHICLE AT THE SCENE OF SUCH CRASH OR AS CLOSE THERETO AS POSSIBLE, AND SHALL, FORTHWITH RETURN TO AND IN EVERY EVENT SHALL REMAIN AT THE SCENE OF THE CRASH UNTIL HE HAD FULFILLED THE REQUIREMENTS OF 316.061(1). DID DRIVE OR WAS IN ACTUAL PHYSICAL CONTROL OF A VEHICLE WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE, MODEL GLUE OR ANY SUBSTANCE CONTROLLED UNDER CHAPTER 893 OR CHAPTER 877.111 TO THE EXTENT HIS NORMAL FACULTIES WERE IMPAIRED, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 316.193(1)(A). DID DRIVE OR WAS IN ACTUAL PHYSICAL CONTROL OF A VEHICLE AT A TIME WHEN HIS BLOOD ALCOHOL LEVEL WAS .08 PERCENT OR ABOVE AND BY REASON OF SUCH OPERATION OF A VEHICLE CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE PROPERTY OF ANOTHER, TO WIT: THE DEFENDANT STRUCK A MAILBOX CAUSING APPROXIMATELY FIFTY DOLLARS IN DAMAGE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 316.193(3)(A)(B)(C)(1). ON 122315, AT 1400 HOURS, I WAS DISPATCHED TO 6 SOUTH JEFFERSON STREET, IN BEVERLY HILLS, IN REFERENCE TO A SUSPICIOUS PERSON. WHILE RESPONDING DISPATCH ADVISED THAT THE SUBJECT PULLED INTO A DRIVEWAY AND WAS BANGING ON DOORS ASKING FOR GAS MONEY AND THEN BACKED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND OVER A MAILBOX. UPON ARRIVAL, CONTACT WAS MADE WITH THE DEFENDANT, LATER IDENTIFIED AS MR ANTHONY SELVESTER, JUST WEST OF THE INTERSECTION OF SOUTH JEFFERSON STREET AND BEVERLY HILLS BOULEVARD. THE DEFENDANT MATCHED THE DESCRIPTION GIVEN BY DISPATCH AND ADMITTED TO DRIVING A GRAY DODGE PICKUP TRUCK BY STATING THAT HE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND RAN OUT OF GAS. THE DEFENDANT WAS UNSTEADY ON HIS FEET AND SWAYING FROM SIDE TO SIDE ATTEMPTING TO REGAIN HIS BALANCE. HIS RESPONSES WERE DELAYED AND HIS SPEECH WAS SLURRED WHILE SPEAKING. HE ALSO HAD A SMELL OF AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE EMITTING FROM HIS BREATH AND GLASSY EYES. I PLACED THE DEFENDANT IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND RETURNED TO THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE COMPLAINANT WHO STATED THAT SHE OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT PULL HIS VEHICLE INTO HER DRIVEWAY AND PARK IT UNDER THE CARPORT. HE THEN EXITED THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, APPROACHED HER FRONT DOOR, AND BEGAN BANGING ON IT. THE DEFENDANT THEN ASKED FOR MONEY AND UPON BEING TOLD THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY MONEY, HE BEGAN THREATENING THE COMPLAINANT AND HER SON. THE DEFENDANT THEN GOT BACK IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND BACKED THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, AT WHICH TIME HE BACKED OVER A MAILBOX AT 5 SOUTH JEFFERSON STREET. THE COMPLAINANT ADVISED THAT THE DEFENDANT WAS THE ONLY OCCUPANT IN THE VEHICLE. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH ANOTHER COMPLAINANT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WHO STATED THAT THE DEFENDANT ALSO APPROACHED THEIR RESIDENCE ASKING FOR MONEY. WHILE DOING SO, THE DEFENDANT SCARED NUMEROUS CHILDREN IN THE RESIDENCE BY SPEAKING IN AN AGGRESSIVE TONE, AT WHICH TIME THEY LOCKED THEIR DOOR AND CONTACTED THIS AGENCY. I COMPLETED MY TRAFFIC CRASH INVESTIGATION AND BEGAN INVESTIGATING A POTENTIAL DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE. WHILE SPEAKING WITH THE DEFENDANT HE ADMITTED TO DRINKING AN UNKNOWN AMOUNT OF ALCOHOL. HE THEN CHANGED HIS RECOLLECTION OF THE EVENTS NUMEROUS TIMES AND STATED HIS FRIEND WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE STATEMENT WAS DISPUTED DUE TO THE COMPLAINANT ONLY SEEING ONE OCCUPANT IN THE VEHICLE. DURING OUR CONVERSATION, THE COMPLAINANT BEGAN TO COMPLAIN OF DIFFICULTY BREATHING AND STATED THAT HE WAS A DIABETIC. EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES RESPONDED, EVALUATED THE DEFENDANT, AND RELEASED HIM WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION TO THE HOSPITAL. DURING THE TIME OF THE MEDICAL EVALUATION, THE DEFENDANT LEARNED THAT HE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR LEAVING THE SCENE OF AN ACCIDENT. HE RESPONDED BY CLINCHING HIS LEFT AND RIGHT HAND INTO A FIST, COCKED HIS RIGHT ARM BACK, AND WHILE DOING SO SWUNG HIS LEFT ARM STRIKING ME IN THE LOWER ABDOMINAL AREA. I THEN GRABBED THE DEFENDANT 'S LEFT ARM IN AN ATTEMPT TO PROPERLY SECURE HIM, AT WHICH TIME HE SWUNG HIS RIGHT FIST, MISSING ME. THE DEFENDANT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK, SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE, AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. WHILE AT THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY THE DEFENDANT REFUSED TO COMPLETE FIELD SOBRIETY TASKS AND ALSO WOULD NOT SUBMIT TO A TEST OF HIS BREATH, URINE, OR BLOOD. THE DEFENDANT WAS ARRESTED FOR LEAVING THE SCENE OF AN ACCIDENT WITH PROPERTY DAMAGE, DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE, DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE WITH PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND BATTERY ON LAW ENFORCEMENT. THE DEFENDANT'S TOTAL BOND WAS SET AT $7,500.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
