UPON ARRIVAL, CONTACT WAS MADE WITH THE WITNESS, MR RICHARD PAPENEAU, WHO LIVES AT THIS LOCATION. HE ADVISED JUST PRIOR TO OUR ARRIVAL, HE SAW WHAT HE BELIEVED TO BE TWO BLACK MALES IN FRONT OF HIS RESIDENCE IN THE ROADWAY OF NORTH GRIFFITH AVENUE. THE COMPLAINANT ADVISED THE BELIEVES THEY CAME OFF OF WEST ABERS COURT. AS THEY WALKED NORTHBOUND, HE HEARD WHAT HE BELIEVED TO BE SIX SHOTS BEING FIRED. AT THIS TIME, IT WAS STILL DARK OUT AND HE COULD NOT GIVE ANY FURTHER DESCRIPTION OF THE SUSPECT. I BEGAN CANVASSING THE AREA WHERE I LOCATED FIVE SHELL CASINGS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE RESIDENCE, APPROXIMATELY ONE FOOT OFF THE ROADWAY ON NORTH GRIFFITH AVENUE. DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE WITNESS HEARD SIX GUNSHOTS I CONTINUED TO SEARCH THE AREA WHERE I PROCEEDED DOWN WEST ABERS COURT ON FOOT. I WAS ABLE TO LOCATE A FEW SHOE IMPRESSIONS LEADING TO THE AREA OF THE SHELL CASINGS. DURING THIS TIME, A BLACK MALE ON A BICYCLE EXITED THE AREA OF 6671 WEST ABERS COURT AND PRECEDED WEST IN MY DIRECTION. ONCE HE GOT APPROXIMATELY TEN FROM ME I ASKED HIM TO STOP AND ANNOUNCED MYSELF. I NOTICED HE WAS WEARING A BACKPACK. I ASKED IF HE HAD ANY WEAPONS ON OR ABOUT HIS PERSON WHERE HE STATED NO. I ASKED FOR CONSENT TO SEARCH THE BACKPACK TO WHICH HE AGREED. WHILE DOING SO, I BEGAN BY CONDUCTING A PAT DOWN ON THE SUBJECT. WITH MY LEFT HAND, I PROCEEDED TO PAT DOWN HIS WAISTBAND AREA WHERE I FELT WHAT WAS A FIREARM CONCEALED BY HIS SHIRT. WITH MY LEFT HAND ON THE FIREARM, I DREW MY AGENCY ISSUED FIREARM WITH MY RIGHT HAND AND ADVISED THE DEFENDANT TO NOT MOVE AND I KEPT HIS HANDS UP. I YELLED FOR MY BACKUP WHO WAS STANDING APPROXIMATELY 75 FEET WAY. AT THAT TIME, DEPUTY TAYLOR ARRIVED AND REMOVED THE DEFENDANT FROM THE BICYCLE AND HANDCUFFED HIM WHILE I DISARMED HIM. DEPUTY LEYDA THEN READ THE DEFENDANT MIRANDA RIGHTS VIA PREPRINTED AGENCY CARD AT 0635 AND ASKED IF SHE UNDERSTOOD HE RIGHTS, TO WHICH HE REPLIED THAT HE DID. I THEN ASKED HIM IF HE WISHED TO SPEAK WITH US AT THIS TIME, TO WHICH HE ADVISED THAT HE DID WISH TO SPEAK WITH US. HE ADVISED HE DID FIRE THE WEAPON IN THE AREA WHERE WE FOUND THE SHELL CASING. HE ADVISED HE HAD FIRED THE GUN INTO THE AIR JUST FOR FUN. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE DEFENDANT DID NOT POSSESS A VALID CONCEALED WEAPONS LICENSE. THE WEAPON THAT HE WAS IN POSSESSION OF WAS A HIGHPOINT SEMI-AUTOMATIC PISTOL. A FURTHER SEARCH OF THE BACKPACK REVEALED A LOADED LARGE CAPACITY MAGAZINE ALONG WITH A DIGITAL SCALE AND CANNABIS SEEDS. THE DEFENDANT DID STATE THE FIREARM WAS HIS THAT HE BROUGHT BACK FROM JACKSONVILLE. HE ADVISED THE SEEDS CAME FROM A QUARTER POUND OF CANNABIS HE RECENTLY PURCHASED. HE ADVISED HE USES THE DIGITAL SCALE TO WEIGH HIS CANNABIS PURCHASES. THE DEFENDANT WAS IDENTIFIED BY HIS SOCIAL SECURITY CARD AS MR BILLY DIXON, JR. THE SHOES THE DEFENDANT WAS CURRENTLY WEARING DID APPEAR TO MATCH THE SHOE PATTERN NEAR THE SCENE. DEPUTY LEYDA PROCESSED THE SCENE; SEE HER CRIME SCENE TECHNICIAN REPORT. I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT HE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR CARRYING A CONCEALED WEAPON, DISCHARGING A FIREARM IN PUBLIC, POSSESSION OF CANNABIS LESS THAN 20 GRAMS, AND POSSESSION OF PARAPHERNALIA. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN PLACED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANTâS BOND WAS SET AT $2,000.00 FOR CARRYING CONCEALED FIREARM; $1,000.00 FOR KNOWING DISCHARGING A FIREARM IN PUBLIC PLACE OR ROADWAY; $1,000.00 FOR POSSESSION OF CANNABIS LESS THAN 20 GRAMS; AND $1,000.00 POSSESSION OF PARAPHERNALIA WITH A TOTAL BOND OF $5,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. \t |
