Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: BEETOW, CHARLES 0296 (AR09107438) DID UNLAWFULLY, WILLFULLY AND MALICIOUSLY, INJURE OR DAMAGE CERTAIN PROPERTY OF THE VICTIM, TO WIT: A FRONT DOOR TO A RESIDENCE, SUCH DAMAGE BEING OF A VALUE OF $1,000.00 OR LESS, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATUTES 806.13(1)(B)(2). ON 013009 AT APPROXIMATELY 1520 HOURS, I WAS DISPATCHED TO A KNOWN LOCATION IN REFERENCE TO AN ALTERCATION. WHILE EN ROUTE, DISPATCH DID ADVISE THAT THE SUSPECT HAD LEFT IN A VEHICLE, POSSIBLY EN ROUTE TO BROOKSVILLE. THE VICTIM HAD STATED THAT THE SUSPECT'S NAME WAS CHRISTOPHER ONEY. WHILE STILL WHILE EN ROUTE TO THE SCENE, DEPUTY BAIRD WAS ABLE TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE VEHICLE AND THE DRIVER ON HIGHWAY 41 SOUTH AND FORT COOPER ROAD. WHILE DEPUTY BAIRD HAD THE SUSPECT DETAINED, I DID MAKE CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM. SHE DID ADVISE THAT MR ONEY HAD COME OVER TO THE RESIDENCE WANTING TO SEE HIS SON. SHE ADVISED SHE HAD DENIED HIM SEEING HIS SON BECAUSE HE ALLEGEDLY DOES NOT ACT ACCORDINGLY AND SHE IS AFRAID OF HIM. MR ONEY DID KNOCK ON THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES ASKING HER TO LET HIM IN. WHILE HE WAS BEATING ON THE DOOR, SHE DID CALL 9-1-1 ON HER CELLULAR TELEPHONE. AT ONE POINT, THE SUSPECT KICKED THE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS ABLE TO BREAK IN. HE THEN WALKED INTO THE RESIDENCE AND PICKED UP HIS SON, WHO WAS PRESENT. THE VICTIM ADVISED THAT MR ONEY HAD TALKED TO HIS SON AND SHE THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO TAKE HIM. HE THEN TURNED AROUND, PUT HIS SON DOWN, AND WALKED OUT OF THE RESIDENCE. AFTER WALKING OUTSIDE, HE ENTERED HIS TRUCK AND LEFT THE SCENE. THE VICTIM STATED THAT WHILE MR ONEY WAS WALKING OUT OF THE HOUSE, HE MADE THE STATEMENT, "IF YOU TAKE HIM FROM ME, YOU'RE DEAD.” IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE VICTIM IS ALREADY IN THE PROCESS OF OBTAINING AN INJUNCTION AGAINST THE SUSPECT. SHE ALSO BELIEVES THE SUSPECT OR HIS FRIENDS MAY HAVE HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH HER TIRES BEING DAMAGED, SEE CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE CASE NUMBER 09011116. ALSO UPON MY OBSERVATION, I DID SEE WHERE the FRONT DOOR HAD A LARGE DENT AND THE LAMINATE MATERIAL HAD BEEN SPLIT APART, RENDERING THE DOOR INOPERABLE. AFTER SPEAKING TO THE VICTIM, I THEN SPOKE TO A WITNESS WHO WAS PRESENT, THE WITNESS ALSO ADVISED THE SAME STATEMENT AS THAT OF THE VICTIM. BOTH THE VICTIM AND THE WITNESS DID SIGN A SWORN STATEMENT IN REFERENCE TO THE INCIDENT. DURING THE COURSE OF THE ALTERCATION, THE CHILD WAS NOT IN ANY DANGER, HOWEVER, THE DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES REGISTRY WAS CONTACTED IN REFERENCE TO THIS INCIDENT. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE VICTIM, I DID CONTACT DEPUTY BAIRD, WHO DID ADVISE HE HAD SPOKEN WITH THE SUSPECT. THE SUSPECT ADVISED DEPUTY BAIRD THAT HE HAD BEEN AT THE RESIDENCE AND HE HAD KICKED THE DOOR IN AND DAMAGED IT, BUT ONLY BECAUSE HE BELIEVED THAT HIS SON MAY HAVE FALLEN IN THE RESIDENCE. MR ONEY ADVISED HE DID MAKE A MISTAKE BY GOING ABOUT IT THE WRONG WAY. I DID REQUEST DEPUTY BAIRD TO PLACE THE SUSPECT UNDER ARREST FOR VANDALISM AND TRANSPORT HIM TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY WHERE HE COULD BE BOOKED AND PROCESSED AND HELD AT $250.00 BOND PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
