| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: NEAL, GARRETT 0676 (AR09110160) DID UNLAWFULLY, ACTUALLY AND INTENTIONALLY TOUCH OR STRIKE THE VICTIM AGAINST HIS WILL OR INTENTIONALLY CAUSE BODILY HARM TO SAID PERSON BEING 65 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 784.08(2)(C). ON 072509 I WAS DISPATCHED TO THE AREA OF BAYBERRY POINT IN INVERNESS IN REFERENCE TO A PHYSICAL DISTURBANCE IN PROGRESS. UPON ARRIVAL I OBSERVED AN ELDERLY MALE, LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE VICTIM, SITTING ON THE GROUND BLEEDING FROM HIS HEAD. EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES WAS CONTACTED DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THE BLEEDING. SEVERAL WITNESSES WHO WERE ON SCENE ADVISED THAT THE DEFENDANT, MR CHRISTOPHER G GORNALL, AND THE VICTIM, WERE INVOLVED IN A VERBAL ALTERCATION OVER A MINOR TRAFFIC ACCIDENT WHICH HAD OCCURRED. THE WITNESSES ADVISED THAT THE DEFENDANT THEN STRUCK THE VICTIM IN THE FACE, WHICH KNOCKED THE VICTIM TO THE GROUND. THE VICTIM'S INJURIES WERE CONSISTENT WITH THE WITNESS STATEMENTS WHICH ADVISED THAT WHEN HE WAS STRUCK HE FELL BACK AND HIT HIS HEAD. UPON SPEAKING WITH THE DEFENDANT HE ADVISED THAT THE VICTIM STRUCK HIM FIRST. HOWEVER, ALL WITNESS STATEMENTS ADVISE OTHERWISE. ALL WITNESSES ON SCENE PROVIDED WRITTEN STATEMENTS WHICH WILL BE TURNED OVER TO RECORDS. THE VICTIM WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A WRITTEN STATEMENT DUE TO HIM BEING TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL BY EMS. DUE TO THE VICTIM BEING OVER AGE 65, THE DEFENDANT WAS CHARGED WITH FELONY BATTERY. THE DEFENDANT WAS HANDCUFFED DOUBLE LOCKED BEHIND HIS BACK, SEATED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE VICTIM'S WIFE AND THE DEFENDANT'S WIFE WERE BOTH PROVIDED WITH CASE CARDS BEARING MY NAME AND THIS ASSIGNED CASE NUMBER AND TOLD TO CONTACT THIS AGENCY WITH ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
