| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: WHITSEL, MICK FHP5671 (AR10115713) DID UNLAWFULLY RESIST, OBSTRUCT OR OPPOSE TROOPER WHITSEL, WHO WAS THEN AND THERE IN THE LAWFUL EXECUTION OF A LEGAL DUTY, OR EXECUTION OF LEGAL PROCESS, TO WIT: WITHHOLDING REQUESTED INFORMATION DURING THE COURSE OF AN INVESTIGATION, WITHOUT OFFERING OR DOING VIOLENCE TO THE PERSON OF SUCH OFFICER, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 843.02. ON 070710, I WAS CONDUCTING A TRAFFIC CRASH INVESTIGATION LOCATED AT FORT ISLAND TRAIL AND DIXIE SHORES DRIVE. IT WAS A SINGLE VEHICLE CRASH INVOLVING THREE OCCUPANTS IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS OVERTURNED ON FORT ISLAND TRAIL ON ITS ROOF BLOCKING BOTH EAST AND WESTBOUND LANES. THE TRAFFIC WAS BACKED UP FOR A LONG WAYS IN BOTH DIRECTIONS AND THE PEOPLE THAT WERE BLOCKED IN THE TRAFFIC WERE STARTING TO GET UPSET AND GET OUT OF THEIR VEHICLES. I HAD ALREADY ASKED A FEW PEOPLE TO WALK BACK TO THEIR VEHICLES AND WAIT UNTIL THE ROADWAY WAS CLEAR AND WE WOULD GET THEM ON THEIR WAY. I HAD GREG'S TOWING EN ROUTE TO REMOVE THE VEHICLE. AS WAS STANDING BY MY PATROL VEHICLE, A YOUNG MAN CAME WALKING FROM THE EAST SIDE OF TRAFFIC FROM THE LINE OF VEHICLES. I ASKED HIM WHO HE WAS AS HE WAS WALKING UP TO ME. HE MUMBLED SOMETHING THAT I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND AND ATTEMPTED TO WALK PAST ME WITHOUT PAYING ANY ATTENTION TO MY REQUEST. I REACHED OUT WITH MY LEFT HAND AND GRABBED HIM BY HIS LEFT ARM TO STOP HIM AND ASK HIM WHO HE WAS. THE MAN JERKED BACK AND FACED ME AND SAID "DON'T FUCKING TOUCH ME." HE THEN STATED, "I'M WITH THEM," POINTING TO THE PEOPLE IN THE CRASH. I HAD BEEN AT THE SCENE FOR SOME TIME AND DID NOT RECOGNIZE HIM AS HAVING BEEN AT THE CRASH SCENE BEFORE. I ASKED HIM AGAIN WHO HE WAS AND HE JUST STATED "I'M WITH THEM." I AGAIN ASKED HIM WHAT HIS NAME WAS AND IF HE HAD ANY IDENTIFICATION WITH HIM. HE SAID THAT HE DID NOT HAVE HIS IDENTIFICATION WITH HIM, BUT HE WOULD NOT TELL ME HIS NAME. AT THAT TIME, I ADVISED HIM HE WAS NOT GOING IN THERE UNTIL HE TOLD ME WHO HE WAS SO THAT I COULD VERIFY IF HE WAS THE PEOPLE WHO WERE INVOLVED AND HE GOT VERY UPSET AND BELLIGERENT. DEPUTY VENTIMIGLIA WAS AT THE SCENE WITH ME WHILE I WAS SPEAKING WITH THE DEFENDANT, LATER IDENTIFIED AS MR CHRISTOPHER DECAIRE. THE DEFENDANT ADDRESSED DEPUTY VENTIMIGLIA STATING, YOU GUYS TOLD ME TO MOVE MY VEHICLE AND THEN I WAS COMING BACK. I TOLD HIM THAT I DID NOT TELL HIM TO MOVE HIS VEHICLE AND THAT I HAD NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE AND ASKED ONCE AGAIN FOR HIS NAME SO THAT I COULD VERIFY IF HE WAS WITH THE PEOPLE OR NOT. EVERY TIME I TRIED TO TALK WITH HIM HE WAS VERY BELLIGERENT AND I COULD NOT REASON WITH HIM AND HE WOULD NOT LISTEN TO A WORD I SAID. I TOLD HIM TO BE QUITE SEVERAL TIMES AND HE TOLD ME "FUCK YOU. YOU SHUT UP." AT THAT TIME, I GRABBED HIM BY THE LEFT ARM AND TOLD HIM THAT HE WAS UNDER ARREST BY OBSTRUCTION. HE DID NOT RESIST AND I PUT HIS ARMS BEHIND HIS BACK. DEPUTY VENTIMIGLIA ASSISTED ME WHILE I PUT HIS HAND RESTRAINTS ON HIM. I THEN PUT HIM IN THE RIGHT REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND CONTINUED MY INVESTIGATION OF THE CRASH. GREG'S TOWING ARRIVED ON THE SCENE AND CLEANED UP THE MESS AND THEN OPENED UP THE ROADWAY. ONCE THE ROADWAY WAS CLEAR I TRANSPORTED THE DEFENDANT TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
