DEPUTY MOORE THEN ARRIVED ON SCENE, AND I WALKED ACROSS THE STREET TO MAKE CONTACT with A FEMALE WHO WAS STANDING IN THAT AREA. AS I WAS WALKING ACROSS THE STREET, I RAN the DEFENDANT'S NAME THROUGH TELETYPE WHO ADVISED ME that THE DEFENDANT HAD AN ACTIVE CITRUS COUNTY WARRANT FOR VIOLATION OF PROBATION. AS I WAS SPEAKING TO THE FEMALE ACROSS THE STREET, I HEARD THE DEFENDANT BEGIN TO YELL TOWARDS DEPUTY MOORE. AT THAT TIME I WALKED BACK ACROSS THE STREET TO SECURE the DEFENDANT IN HANDCUFFS DUE TO HER AGITATED DEMEANOR. I THEN ADVISED THE FEMALE THAT SHE WAS BEING DETAINED, AND GRABBED A HOLD OF HER LEFT ARM PLACING A HANDCUFF ON HER. THE DEFENDANT THEN BEGAN TO SPIN AROUND IN AN aggressive MANNER, AT WHICH TIME SHE WAS PINNED AGAINST DEPUTY MOORE'S VEHICLE AND WAS ADVISED TO STOP RESISTING. the DEFENDANT CONTINUED TO ATTEMPT TO PULL AWAY AND SPIN AROUND TOWARDS ME.
