| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: HESSE, BRYAN 0755 (15-10284) (AR15-13621) DID UNLAWFULLY AND INTENTIONALLY THREATEN BY WORD OR ACT TO DO VIOLENCE TO THE PERSON OF THE VICTIM, COUPLED WITH AN APPARENT ABILITY TO CARRY OUT SAID THREAT, AND UTILIZED A DEADLY WEAPON, TO WIT: DISCHARGING FIREARM IN THE DIRECTION OF THE VICTIM, WITHOUT THE INTENT TO KILL, AND DID AN ACT OR ACTS WHICH CREATED A WELL-FOUNDED FEAR IN THE VICTIM THAT SUCH VIOLENCE WAS IMMINENT, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 784.021(1)(A). ON 012315, AT APPROXIMATELY 0950 HOURS, I RESPONDED TO THE AREA OF 6590 NORTH CITRUS AVENUE, IN CRYSTAL RIVER, IN REFERENCE TO SHOTS FIRED. UPON ARRIVAL AT 6592 NORTH CITRUS AVENUE, IN CRYSTAL RIVER, IN THE INDUSTRIAL PARK, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE COMPLAINANT/WITNESS, MR TIMOTHY BIBLE. MR BIBLE STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING NORTHBOUND ON CITRUS AVENUE, HE OBSERVED A WOMAN APPROXIMATELY IN HER 60âS WITH DARK HAIR STANDING OUTSIDE OF A RED SUV, POINTING WHAT APPEARED TO BE A REVOLVER AT ANOTHER MAN WHO WAS STANDING NEXT TO HIS MOTORCYCLE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MR BIBLE STATED THAT HE COULD NOT HEAR WHAT WAS BEING SAID, BUT THAT THE MAN WAS IN NO WAY AGGRESSIVE OR THREATENING TOWARDS THE FEMALE AND ACTUALLY HAD HIS HANDS IN THE AIR AS IF HE WAS AFRAID OF THE FEMALE. MR BIBLE SAID IT APPEARED AS IF THE MALE ATTEMPTED TO GET ON HIS MOTORCYCLE AND DRIVE UP THE DRIVEWAY TO HIS HOUSE, AT WHICH TIME HE SAW THE DEFENDANT FIRE SEVERAL SHOTS IN THE DIRECTION OF THE MAN ON THE MOTORCYCLE. MR BIBLE THEN FOLLOWED THE DEFENDANT TO THE INDUSTRIAL PARK WHICH IS WHERE I WOULD EVENTUALLY MAKE CONTACT WITH HER. AFTER MR BIBLE POINTED OUT THE BUSINESS THE DEFENDANT WENT INTO, I MADE CONTACT WITH HER IN REFERENCE TO THIS INCIDENT. PRIOR TO SPEAKING WITH THE DEFENDANT, MS BETSY FORD, MY AGENCY ISSUED BODY WORN CAMERA WAS TURNED ON. I READ THE DEFENDANT HER MIRANDA WARNING VIA AGENCY PREPRINTED CARD. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED THAT SHE UNDERSTOOD HER RIGHTS AND STATED THAT SHE WOULD SPEAK WITH ME AT THIS TIME. THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT SHE WAS DRIVING NORTHBOUND ON CITRUS AVENUE AND A RED IN COLOR MOTORCYCLE PASSED HER AND SLAMMED ON HIS BREAKS CAUSING HER TO ALSO HIT HER BRAKES AND SWERVE OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SHE STATED THAT AFTER HER VEHICLE CAME TO REST ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THE VICTIM, MR KENNETH SCHUBERT, GOT OFF OF HIS MOTORCYCLE AND BEGAN APPROACHING HER AGGRESSIVELY THREATENING TO KILL HER. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED SHE THEN GRABBED HER .32 CALIBER REVOLVER FROM HER GLOVE BOX, POINTED IT IN THE DIRECTION OF THE VICTIM AND YELLED âSTOPâ. SHE STATED AFTER YELLING STOP, SHE FIRED ONE ROUND TO THE LEFT OF THE VICTIM AND ONE ROUND TO THE RIGHT AS âWARNING SHOTSâ. THE DEFENDANT STATED SHE WAS IN FEAR FOR HER LIFE AND WAS DOING IT OUT OF SELF DEFENSE. I ASKED PERMISSION FROM THE DEFENDANT TO RETRIEVE HER FIREARM FROM THE VEHICLE AND SHE AGREED. LOCATED IN THE GLOVE BOX WAS A BLACK LEATHER HOLSTER WITH A BLUED .32 IVER JOHNSON REVOLVER. AFTER SECURING THE WEAPON, I NOTICED THAT FOUR OUT OF THE FIVE ROUNDS IN THE GUN HAD BEEN SHOT, WHICH WAS NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE DEFENDANTâS PREVIOUS STATEMENT. I RETURNED TO SPEAK WITH THE DEFENDANT AND EXPLAINED TO HER THAT THE AMOUNT OF BULLETS FIRED DID NOT MATCH THE AMOUNT IN HER STATEMENT AND SHE ADVISED ME THAT SHE SUFFERS FROM SEVERAL MEDICAL CONDITIONS THAT CAUSE MEMORY LOSS AND SHE DID NOT WISH TO SPEAK WITH ME ANY FURTHER. WHILE I WAS SPEAKING WITH THE DEFENDANT, DEPUTY CLAUDE RESPONDED TO THE INCIDENT LOCATION AND SPOKE WITH THE VICTIM WHO WAS UNINJURED DURING THE INCIDENT. SEE DEPUTY CLAUDEâS SUPPLEMENT FOR STATEMENT. DEPUTY CLAUDE PROCESSED THE SCENE; SEE HIS CRIME SCENE TECHNICIAN REPORT. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE DEFENDANT, SHE WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED, IN FRONT, (DOUBLE LOCKED), SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE DEFENDANTâS BOND WAS SET AT $2,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
