| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: LAKATIS, KENNETH 0585 (AR09108863) DID UNLAWFULLY RESIST, OBSTRUCT OR OPPOSE DEPUTY LAKATIS, WHO WAS THEN AND THERE IN THE LAWFUL EXECUTION OF A LEGAL DUTY, OR EXECUTION OF LEGAL PROCESS, TO WIT: INVESTIGATING A POSSIBLE BATTERY TO THE DEFENDANT, WITHOUT OFFERING OR DOING VIOLENCE TO THE PERSON OF SUCH OFFICER, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 843.02. ON 050209 AT APPROXIMATELY 1715 HOURS, I WAS DISPATCHED TO CALL MR JOSEPH GRIFFIN IN REFERENCE TO A POSSIBLE CIVIL ISSUE. DISPATCH ADVISED THAT THE SUBJECT'S WIFE WAS DESTROYING THEIR PROPERTY. UPON MAKING CONTACT WITH MR GRIFFIN VIA TELEPHONE, I COULD HEAR A FEMALE IN THE BACKGROUND YELLING AND SCREAMING. THE FEMALE VOICE DEMANDED THAT A DEPUTY RESPOND TO THE RESIDENCE. I THEN HUNG UP AND RESPONDED TO THE RESIDENCE. UPON ARRIVAL I SPOKE WITH THE SUBJECT'S WIFE, MS ANTOINETTE GRIFFIN, WHO ADVISED SHE WANTED TO LEAVE BUT HER HUSBAND WOULD NOT LET HER. AFTER A BRIEF DISCUSSION ABOUT THE CHILDREN, SHE AGREED TO LEAVE OF HER OWN FREE WILL. SHE THEN GOT INTO HER VEHICLE AND PULLED TO THE FRONT OF THE RESIDENCE. ONCE THERE SHE EXITED HER VEHICLE AND DEMANDED TO SPEAK WITH ME. I WENT TO HER VEHICLE WHERE SHE PRODUCED A CELL PHONE WITH A PICTURE OF A NECK WITH A BRUISE ON IT. SHE SAID THIS WAS HER NECK AND IT WAS AN INJURY SHE SUSTAINED DURING AN ALTERCATION WITH HER HUSBAND SEVERAL DAYS AGO. I DID NOT NOTICE ANY INJURY TO HER NECK AND ASKED HER WHY SHE DID NOT CALL THE POLICE AT THAT TIME. SHE SAID SHE DID NOT HAVE ANYONE TO HELP WITH THE CHILDREN AND WANTED TO STAY AT HER HOUSE. I STARTED TO EXPLAIN POSSIBLE SCENARIO FOR HER AND HER CHILDREN, BUT SHE CUT ME OFF AND STARTED SCREAMING, TELLING ME THAT I WOULD NOT HELP HER AND THAT SHE WOULD JUST LEAVE. SHE THEN GOT BACK INTO HER VEHICLE, AND I RESPONDED BACK TO THE RESIDENCE. ONCE AT THE RESIDENCE ON EMPRESS CIRCLE, I SPOKE TO THE HUSBAND AND ASKED ABOUT THE PICTURE I HAD JUST OBSERVED. WHILE DOING SO THE SUSPECT/MS GRIFFIN, CAME BACK TO THE RESIDENCE AND OVERHEARD THE HUSBAND SAY THAT SHE POSSIBLY INJURED HERSELF. AT THIS TIME THE WIFE BECAME ENRAGED AND BEGAN SCREAMING AT HIM CALLING HIM A LIAR. I TOLD HER TO BE QUIET WHILE I SPOKE TO THE HUSBAND. SHE REFUSED AND CONTINUED TO YELL OVER ME. I THEN ORDERED HER TO STOP OR I WOULD TAKE HER TO JAIL. AGAIN, SHE REFUSED AND STARTED SCREAMING, "TAKE ME TO FUCKING JAIL!". NOT ONLY DID THIS CAUSE ME TO STOP MY INVESTIGATION INTO THE ALLEGATION OF ABUSE, BUT ALSO DISRUPTED THE PEACE AND QUIET OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AS I OBSERVED SEVERAL HOME OWNERS EMERGE FROM THEIR HOMES. AT THAT TIME MS GRIFFIN WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR OBSTRUCTING AND RESISTING THIS OFFICER. SHE WAS HANDCUFFED/DOUBLE LOCKED AND PLACED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND LATER TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $500.00 PER BOND SCHEDULE. BOTH THE DEFENDANT AND HER HUSBAND WERE GIVEN PAMPHLETS ABOUT CASA AND I ALSO NOTIFIED THE ABUSE HOTLINE IN REFERENCE TO POSSIBLE SERVICES IN THE HOME. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
