| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: MARSHALL, AIDAN 0453 (AR10116191) ON 8-1-10 A BURGLARY TO AN UNOCCUPIED RESIDENCE WAS REPORTED REFERENCE CASE NUMBER 10080022. DURING THE COMMISSION OF THE BURGLARY, THE SUSPECTS REMOVED A LOCK BOX CONTAINING APPROXIMATELY $17,000 IN CASH AND OTHER PERSONAL BELONGINGS. DURING THE COURSE OF THIS INVESTIGATION, I WAS PROVIDED THE NAME OF A SUSPECT NAMED "CJ" AND DIRECTIONS TO HIS HOME. ON 8-5-10 I RESPONDED TO THE HOME OF THE DEFENDANT MR. CHRISTOPHER JAMES BALLARD. UPON MAKING CONTACT WITH MR. BALLARD I INTRODUCED MYSELF AND ASKED MR. BALLARD IF HE MINDED SPEAKING WITH ME. MR. BALLARD AGREED TO SPEAK TO ME IN THE FRONT YARD OF HIS HOUSE. MR. BALLARD WAS INFORMED THAT HE WAS A SUSPECT IN THE BURGLARY WHICH OCCURRED ON WEST TACOMA STREET. MR. BALLARD STATED THAT HE HAD KNOWLEDGE THAT THE BURGLARY TO THE HOME HAD OCCURRED AND ADVISED ME THE APPROXIMATE AREA WHERE IT HAD OCCURRED, HOWEVER HE STATED THAT HE DID NOT COMMIT THE BURGLARY. MR. BALLARD CONTINUED TO STATE THAT HE HAD DISPOSED OF THE LOCK BOX WHICH WAS TAKEN DURING THE BURGLARY AND THAT IT WAS GIVEN TO HIM BY SUSPECT NUMBER TWO. MR. BALLARD ADMITTED THAT HE KNEW THE LOCK BOX WAS STOLEN AND THAT HE HAD THROWN IT OUT OF THE WINDOW OF SUSPECT TWO'S VEHICLE ON WEST VENABLE STREET. MR. BALLARD COMPLETED A SWORN STATEMENT ADMITTING TO THE DISPOSAL OF THE STOLEN PROPERTY, HOWEVER CONTINUED TO DENY HIS INVOLVEMENT IN THE BURGLARY. MR. BALLARD COULD NOT PROVIDE AN EXPLANATION OF WHERE THE STOLEN MONEY COULD BE LOCATED. THE SWORN STATEMENT WAS TURNED INTO CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE RECORDS DIVISION. MR. BALLARD AGREED TO SHOW ME WHERE HE HAD DISCARDED THE LOCK BOX. I DROVE MR. BALLARD TO THE LOCATION ON WEST VENABLE STREET WHERE I REMOVED THE BROKEN LOCK BOX AND NUMEROUS PIECES OF PAPERWORK AND CURRENCY BANDS WHICH BELONGED TO THE VICTIM. AT THIS TIME, MR. BALLARD WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED, AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY JAIL FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING WHERE HIS BOND WAS SET AT $7,000 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
