ON 092810 I RESPONDED TO THE WINN DIXIE LOCATED AT 3565 NORTH LECANTO HIGHWAY IN BEVERLY HILLS IN REFERENCE TO A RETAIL THEFT. UPON ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE COMPLAINANT WHO ADVISED THAT HE HAD THE DEFENDANT ON SURVEILLANCE VIDEO WHERE HE HAD STOLEN THREE LOTTERY TICKETS WORTH A TOTAL OF $50.00. THE COMPLAINANT THEN STATED THAT THE DEFENDANT ADMITTED TO TAKING $210.00 WORTH OF LOTTERY TICKETS, TWO PLUMS AND A SANDWICH OVER AN UNKNOWN AMOUNT OF TIME. THE COMPLAINANT HAD ADVISED THAT ACCORDING TO THEIR RECORDS, THERE WAS $210.00 WORTH OF LOTTERY TICKETS MISSING AND THAT IS WHY THEY HAD SET UP THE SURVEILLANCE VIDEO, WHICH RECORDED THE DEFENDANT ON 091310. THE COMPLAINANT PROVIDED ME WITH A COPY OF THE SURVEILLANCE VIDEO. THE COMPLAINANT WAS PROVIDED A COPY OF THE PROPERTY RECEIPT. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT, MR CODY WRIGHT, IN THE MANAGER'S OFFICE. THE DEFENDANT WAS READ HIS MIRANDA RIGHTS FROM A PREPRINTED AGENCY CARD PRIOR TO ANY QUESTIONING. I THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT TO TELL ME WHY I WAS THERE. THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT HE KNEW THAT THE COMPLAINANT HAD CALLED; BECAUSE, OF THE STOLEN LOTTERY TICKETS. THE DEFENDANT THEN STATED THAT THIS OCCURRED OVER THREE OR FOUR OCCASIONS. THE DEFENDANT WAS UNSURE OF THE EXACT NUMBER OF LOTTERY TICKETS; HOWEVER, HE DID KNOW THE TOTAL AMOUNT AT $210.00. THE DEFENDANT ALSO ADMITTED TO TAKING TWO PLUMS AND HE ALSO STATED THAT ON ONE OCCASION HIS BOSS BROUGHT HIM A SANDWICH MADE FROM PRODUCTS INSIDE OF THE STORE THAT THE DEFENDANT HAD EATEN. THE DEFENDANT WAS AWARE THAT THE SANDWICH WAS NOT PAID FOR, DUE TO THE FACT, THAT HE DOES NOT START WORK UNTIL THE STORE CLOSES; THEREFORE, THE OBJECTS HAD NOT BEEN PAID FOR. THE DEFENDANT FILLED OUT A SWORN WRITTEN STATEMENT, STATING THAT HE HAD TAKEN THE SAID ITEMS AND THAT HE WAS SORRY AND WOULD PAY BACK THE FULL AMOUNT. AT THIS TIME, I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT HE WAS UNDER ARREST FOR RETAIL PETTY THEFT. THE DEFENDANT WAS HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) AND SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY (CCJ) FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $250.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE.
