ON 032013, AT APPROXIMATELY 1958 HOURS, I WAS DISPATCHED TO THE TEXACO GAS STATION, WHICH IS LOCATED 7593 WEST GROVER CLEVELAND BOULEVARD, HOMOSASSA, IN REFERENCE TO A RETAIL PETIT THEFT WHICH HAD JUST OCCURRED. UPON MY ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE STORE OWNER, MR RANCHHODBHAI RAJESHKUMAR RADADIA. HE ADVISED THAT AT APPROXIMATELY 1945 HOURS, HE HAD OBSERVED A WHITE MALE, WHO WAS LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT, MR CHRISTOPHER SIZEMORE, AND A FEMALE, LATER IDENTIFIED AS MS APRIL HYDEN, ENTER THE STORE. MR RADADIA ADVISED THAT HE HAD ASKED THE STORE CLERK, WITNESS MR ROBERT DAVID, TO KEEP AN EYE ON THESE TWO CUSTOMERS. THE OWNER ADVISED THAT THE MALE AND FEMALE HAD WALKED TO THE SODA AISLE, AND THEN DOWN THE CANDY AISLE, AND THAT MR DAVID HAD OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT TO HOLD UP TWO KING SIZED âZEROâ CANDY BARS. HE STATED THAT THE DEFENDANT KEPT ONE IN HIS HAND, AND PUT ONE IN HIS LEFT POCKET. HE ADVISED THAT THE TWO THEN WALKED UP TO THE CASHIERâS FRONT COUNTER TO PAY. HE STATED THAT MR DAVID ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE HAD ANYTHING ELSE, AND HE STATED THAT HE DID NOT. AFTER COMPLETING THE TRANSACTION OF THE ITEMS ON THE COUNTER, ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE HAD PLACED ANYTHING IN HIS POCKET, TO WHICH THE DEFENDANT ADVISED THAT HE HAD NOT. MR DAVID THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT TO CHECK HIS POCKET, AND THE DEFENDANT THEN REACHED IN HIS POCKET, AND PULLED OUT A CELLULAR TELEPHONE CHARGER AND A PACKAGE OF CIGARETTES. MR DAVID THEN TOLD THE DEFENDANT THAT HE NEEDED TO CHECK DEEPER, AT WHICH POINT THE DEFENDANT FINALLY PRODUCED THE KING SIZED âZEROâ CANDY BAR FROM HIS POCKET. THE DEFENDANT THEN LEFT THE STORE. I THEN SPOKE WITH MR DAVID, AND HIS STORY CORROBORATED WITH THE OWNERâS. BOTH PARTIES COMPLETED SWORN WRITTEN STATEMENTS, WHICH WERE COLLECTED AND LATER TURNED IN TO CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE RECORDS DIVISION. I THEN BOLOâD THE AREA FOR THE DEFENDANT, AND MADE CONTACT WITH HIM ON ALABAMA STREET, WHICH IS SOUTH OF THE INCIDENT LOCATION. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT TO RESPOND BACK TO THE STORE WITH ME, AND WE COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON, TO WHICH HE AGREED. THE DEFENDANT AND I THEN RESPONDED BACK TO THE TEXACO STATION, AND THE DEFENDANT ADVISED THAT HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE BIG DEAL WAS. HE ADVISED THAT HE HAD PUT THE CANDY BAR IN HIS POCKET BECAUSE HE HAD RUN OUT OF ROOM TO HOLD THINGS IN HIS HANDS, AND THAT IT WAS FREE FOOD FROM HIS EBT CARD. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE HAD PAID FOR THE CANDY BAR, TO WHICH HE ADVISED THAT HE HAD BEEN GOING TO, BUT THAT THE CLERK STARTED CAUSING A SCENE. I THEN ADVISED THE DEFENDANT THAT HE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST. HE WAS HANDCUFFED, DOUBLE LOCKED BEHIND HIS BACK, AND SEARCHED INCIDENT TO ARREST. DURING THIS SEARCH, I LOCATED A SMALL, BLUE IN COLOR METAL CONTAINER, WHICH CONTAINED HALF OF A SMALL WHITE PILL. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED THAT THIS WAS XANAX, AND THAT HE DID HAVE A PRESCRIPTION FOR IT, FROM A DR DELEANON WHO WORKS AT THE WAL-MART PHARMACY. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. UPON ARRIVAL, HE WAS RELEASED TO DETENTION FACILITY STAFF FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANT WAS CHARGED WITH ONE COUNT OF RETAIL PETIT THEFT, AND ONE COUNT OF POSSESSION OF A DRUG WITHOUT A PRESCRIPTION. HIS BOND WAS SET AT $500.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE METAL CONTAINER AND WHITE PILL WERE BOTH COLLECTED, AND LATER TURNED IN TO CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE EVIDENCE DIVISION. |
