UPON ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM WHO ADVISED HE HAD HEARD FROM NUMEROUS SOURCES THAT THE DEFENDANT, MS CHEROKEE MARIE SPAULDING, AND SUSPECT TWO HAD COMMITTED THE BURGLARY AT HIS RESIDENCE. UPON FOLLOWING THAT LEAD, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT AT HER RESIDENCE WHERE THE DEFENDANT WAS READ HER MIRANDA WARNINGS VIA PRE-PRINTED AGENCY CARD, TO WHICH SHE STATED SHE UNDERSTOOD HER RIGHTS AND AGREED TO SPEAK WITH ME IN THE PRESENCE OF HER MOTHER. THE DEFENDANT STATED SHE AND THE SUSPECT HAD BROKEN INTO THE VICTIM'S RESIDENCE AND REMOVED A TELEVISION, TWO PLAYSTATION III GAMING SYSTEMS, A LAPTOP COMPUTER AND A LOCKBOX. THE DEFENDANT STATED SHE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT A FIREARM BEING TAKEN. THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT IF A FIREARM HAD BEEN STOLEN, THEN SUSPECT TWO MUST HAVE TAKEN IT. BASED ON HER CONFESSION, SHE WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST. THE DEFENDANT WAS HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HER BACK, SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY WITHOUT INCIDENT. WHILE AT THE DETENTION FACILITY, THE DEFENDANT WAS VERY COOPERATIVE AND PROVIDED A WRITTEN STATEMENT IN REFERENCE TO THIS CASE. DUE TO THE DEFENDANT HAVING A YOUNG CHILD AT HOME AND BEING COOPERATIVE, SHE WAS BOOKED, PROCESSED AND RELEASED ON HER OWN RECOGNIZANCE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
