ON 112911 I RESPONDED TO THE ABOVE ADDRESS IN REFERENCE TO A TRESPASS IN PROGRESS. UPON ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE VICTIMS, MS THOMMASINA SILANO AND MR VINCENT CASALE, WHO ADVISED THAT THE DEFENDANT, MS BILLIE BAUGHIN, WAS ON BOTH OF THEIR PROPERTIES AND SHE HAD BEEN FORMALLY TRESPASSED BY DEPUTY CASOLA PREVIOUSLY. I DID CONFIRM THAT SHE WAS LOGGED IN AS BEING TRESPASSED THROUGH OUR TELETYPE SYSTEM. WHILE I WAS GATHERING INFORMATION FROM THE VICTIMS, THE DEFENDANT CAME OUT IN AN AGGRESSIVE MANOR AND STARTED YELLING AND CUSSING AT ALL OF US. WHEN I TOLD HER TO STEP BACK, SHE TOOK A FEW STEPS BACKWARDS AND THEN LUNGED AT VICTIM SILANO WITH A RAISED BEER BOTTLE AS IF TO STRIKE HER. AS I TRIED TO INTERVENE, THE DEFENDANT THEN TOOK THE BEER BOTTLE AND SWUNG IT, HITTING VICTIM SILANO WITH ALL THE CONTENTS OF THE BOTTLE. SHE THEN ATTEMPTED TO STRIKE THIS DEPUTY WITH THE BOTTLE; HOWEVER, SHE WAS RESTRAINED FROM DOING SO. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR BATTERY AND ALSO FOR THE TRESPASSING AFTER WARNING, HANDCUFFED, BEHIND HER BACK, (DOUBLE LOCKED), SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $2,500.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. BOTH VICTIMS PROVIDED SWORN STATEMENTS AS TO THE EVENT THAT HAD OCCURRED WHICH WILL BE TURNED IN TO RECORDS. I PROVIDED THE VICTIMS WITH AN AGENCY ISSUED CASE CARD BEARING THIS CASE NUMBER AND MY IDENTIFICATION AND ADVISED THEM TO CONTACT THIS AGENCY WITH ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS CASE.
