ON 040108, AT APPROXIMATELY 1730 HOURS, I WAS DISPATCHED TO 1075 NORTH SUNCOAST BOULEVARD IN CRYSTAL RIVER, IN REFERENCE TO A THREAT WITH A FIRE ARM THAT HAD ALREADY occurred. UPON MY ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM, WHO ADVISED THAT AT APPROXIMATELY 1730 HOURS, the VICTIM TURNED IN TO the MOBILE HOME PARK AT the AFOREMENTIONED LOCATION,AND ONE OF HIS NEIGHBORS, THE DEFENDANT, MR CHRISTOPHER TROXELL, WAS BLOCKING the ROAD WAY WITH HIS VEHICLE. THE VICTIM PULLED UP TO the DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE AND the DEFENDANT STEPPED OUT OF HIS VEHICLE AND WALKED UP TO the WINDOW OF THE VICTIM'S VEHICLE. the DEFENDANT THEN ADVISED the VICTIM THAT HE WAS TIRED OF PEOPLE SPEEDING UP AND DOWN THE ROAD AND the DEFENDANT THEN PULLED A BLACK IN COLOR HAND GUN FROM A HOLSTER WHICH WAS LOCATED ON the DEFENDANT'S HIP AND POINTED IT AT THE VICTIM'S FACE. THE VICTIM FURTHER ADVISED THAT HE EXITED HIS VEHICLE AND CONFRONTED the DEFENDANT. the VICTIM ADVISED THAT the DEFENDANT THEN RE-HOLSTERED the BLACK IN COLOR HAND GUN, RETURNED TO HIS VEHICLE, AND DROVE TO HIS RESIDENCE. IT WAS AT THAT TIME, THE VICTIM NOTIFIED THIS AGENCY OF the INCIDENT. WHEN I ASKED THE VICTIM IF HE FELT THREATENED BY THIS INCIDENT HE STATED "YES". the VICTIM FURTHER ADVISED THAT AFTER the INCIDENT OCCURRED, the SUSPECT LEFT IN HIS VEHICLE HEADING NORTH ON SUNCOAST BOULEVARD. A "BOLO" WAS PUT OUT TO OTHER DEPUTIES IN the AREA FOR the VEHICLE, WHICH MET WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. WHILE SPEAKING WITH THE TWO WITNESSES THAT WERE IN the VICTIM'S VEHICLE AT the TIME OF THE INCIDENT, THEIR STATEMENTS CORROBORATED the VICTIM 'S STATEMENTS. BOTH the DEFENDANT AND the WITNESSES' COMPLETED WRITTEN STATEMENTS WHICH THEY WERE SWORN TO. the SWORN STATEMENTS WERE LATER TURNED IN TO RECORDS. I THEN ISSUED the VICTIM AN AGENCY CASE CARD BEARING MY NAME AND THIS AGENCY CASE NUMBER AND ADVISED the VICTIM TO NOTIFY THIS AGENCY IF THE SUSPECT RETURNS TO HIS RESIDENCE. AT APPROXIMATELY 2153 HOURS, THE VICTIM ADVISED ME THAT the DEFENDANT HAD RETURNED HOME. I DID RESPOND TO THE INCIDENT LOCATION. UPON ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT, WHO STATED that AT APPROXIMATELY 1730 HOURS ON 040108, HE NOTICED A BLUE IN COLOR VEHICLE TURNING IN TO THE MOBILE HOME PARK WHERE HE RESIDES AND WHICH IS CONSTANTLY SPEEDING THROUGH THE AREA. THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT HE PARKED HIS VEHICLE IN the MIDDLE OF the ROAD TO CONFRONT the DRIVER. WHEN the VEHICLE TURNED INTO THE ROAD, the DEFENDANT STATED, THE DRIVER OF the VEHICLE WAS COMING TOWARDS HIM. THE DEFENDANT FURTHER ADVISED HIM THAT HE THEN UN-HOLSTERED HIS HAND GUN IN CASE the DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO HIT HIM. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED THAT ONCE HE NOTICED IT WAS A DIFFERENT DRIVER THAN USUAL, HE THEN RE-HOLSTERED HIS HAND GUN AND APOLOGIZED FOR PULLING OUT HIS GUN. THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT HE DID NOT AIM the WEAPON AT the DRIVER AND that the GUN WAS POINTED DOWN AT the GROUND. the DEFENDANT COMPLETED A WRITTEN statement WHICH HE WAS SWORN TO AND WHICH WAS LATER TURNED IN TO the RECORDS DEPARTMENT. DUE TO the WRITTEN SWORN statements THAT WERE RECEIVED FROM THE VICTIM AND the TWO WITNESSES, THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR ONE COUNT OF AGGRAVATED ASSAULT WITH A FIRE ARM. THE DEFENDANT WAS HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK, SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE, AND TRANSPORTED TO the CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. IT SHOULD BE NOTED, THE HANDGUN AND AMMUNITION WERE TAKEN INTO MY CUSTODY AND TURNED OVER TO the CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE EVIDENCE DEPARTMENT. the DEFENDANT WAS PROVIDED WITH A COPY OF the PROPERTY RECEIPT. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
