THE VICTIM LISTED NUMEROUS ITEMS STOLEN FROM HIS RESIDENCE INCLUDING DVD'S, VIDEO GAME SYSTEMS, COMPUTER HARDWARE, LAPTOP COMPUTER, JEWELRY, MONEY AND SEVERAL OTHER ITEMS OF VALUE, AS BEING STOLEN. ON 081208 DEPUTY PERUCHE MADE CONTACT WITH A WITNESS. THE WITNESS SPOKE WITH DEPUTY PERUCHE AND ADVISED THAT THE DEFENDANT ASKED THE WITNESS TO STORE SEVERAL ITEMS AT HER HOME AND LATER REQUESTED HER TO PAWN MULTIPLE ITEMS FOR HIM. THE WITNESS STATED SHE PAWNED ITEMS AT THE AMERICAN TRADING POST PAWN SHOP, THE GETTING' PLACE AND HUNTERS HIDEOUT. THE WITNESS STATED SHE DID NOT KNOW THE ITEMS WERE STOLEN AND PAWNED THEM FOR THE DEFENDANT BECAUSE HE DID NOT HAVE IDENTIFICATION. THE VICTIM ALSO RESPONDED TO THE WITNESS'S HOME WHERE SHE TURNED OVER NUMEROUS OTHER ITEM THAT ARE LISTED AS STOLEN. THE WITNESS ALSO ADVISED THAT THE DEFENDANT SOLD A LAPTOP COMPUTER AND A VIDEO GAME SYSTEM TO ANOTHER WITNESS. DEPUTY PERUCHE RESPONDED TO THAT WITNESS'S HOME AND MADE CONTACT WITH HIM, AS DID THE VICTIM. THE WITNESS ADVISED THAT THE DEFENDANT DID SELL HIM A LAPTOP COMPUTER AND VIDEO GAME SYSTEM, AND THE VICTIM POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED THOSE ITEMS AS HIS. ON 081308 I RECEIVED INFORMATION THAT THE DEFENDANT COULD BE LOCATED AT 4505 SOUTH EVERGREEN AVENUE, AT WHICH TIME I RESPONDED. I HAD ALSO SPOKEN TO THE DEFENDANT'S PROBATION OFFICER, MR JAMES GUTCH, WHO ADVISED THAT THE DEFENDANT WAS IN VIOLATION OF HIS PROBATION AND A WARRANT WAS FORTHCOMING. UPON MY ARRIVAL AT 4505 SOUTH EVERGREEN AVENUE, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT AND IDENTIFIED HIM AS MR CHRISTOPHER SCHLOER. BASED ON THE STATEMENTS FROM THE WITNESSES STATING THAT THE DEFENDANT BROUGHT STOLEN ITEMS FROM THE VICTIM'S RESIDENCE TO THEM AND EITHER SOLD OR ASKED THEM TO PAWN ITEMS FOR HIM, HE WAS ARRESTED FOR THE CHARGE OF BURGLARY, GRAND THEFT, AND DEALING IN STOLEN PROPERTY. THE DEFENDANT WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. UPON ARRIVAL THE DEFENDANT STATED HE WISHED TO SPEAK WITH ME ABOUT THE CASE. I READ THE DEFENDANT MIRANDA VIA PREPRINTED CARD. AT THAT TIME THE DEFENDANT STATED TO ME THAT HE DID BREAK INTO THE VICTIM'S RESIDENCE, STOLE MULTIPLE ITEMS, AND EITHER SOLD OR HAD THEM PAWNED BY OTHER PEOPLE. THE DEFENDANT COMPLETED AND SIGNED A WRITTEN STATEMENT GIVING HIS CONFESSION. IT SHOULD BE NOTED WHEN THE DEFENDANT WAS ARRESTED, A SEARCH INCIDENT TO ARREST WAS CONDUCTED OF HIS PERSON, AND DURING THIS SEARCH, A SMALL METAL PIPE WITH BURNT MARIJUANA RESIDUE WAS LOCATED IN HIS FRONT LEFT POCKET. THIS CONTRABAND WAS LATER PACKAGED AND TURNED OVER TO SHERIFF'S OFFICE EVIDENCE. THE DEFENDANT'S TOTAL BOND WAS SET AT $25,500.00. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
