ON 060816, I WAS DISPATCHED TO HOLDEN PARK LOCATED 4229 SOUTH RAINBOW DRIVE, IN INVERNESS, IN REFERENCE TO A ROBBERY THAT HAD JUST OCCURRED. UPON ARRIVAL I MADE CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM WHO STATED SHE WAS AT thE PARK WITH THE WITNESS SO THE VICTIM COULD SELL A FEW OF HER OXYCODONE PILLS. THE VICTIM STATED UPON ARRIVAL THE WITNESS EXITED HER VEHICLE AND LEFT THE VICTIM IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. MS MELANIE DRAWDY (DEFENDANT) THEN ENTERED THE DRIVERâS SIDE AND SMASHED SOMETHING IN THE VICTIMâS FACE PUSHING HER HEAD BACK AGAINST THE HEAD REST. MS DRAWDY THEN GRABBED THE VICTIMâS BLACK PURSE, WHICH CONTAINED A BOTTLE OF OXYCODONE THAT WAS JUST FILLED PRIOR TO GOING TO THE PARK. MS DRAWDY RAN TO HER VEHICLE, GOT IN HER VEHICLE, AND DROVE AWAY. MS DRAWDY THEN PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT NEAR SOUTH PLEASANT GROVE ROAD AND EAST ARBOR STREET FOLLOWED BY LIEUTENANT KANTER (0155). I RESPONDED TO THAT LOCATION AND MADE CONTACT WITH MS DRAWDY, WHO WAS IDENTIFIED BY HER FLORIDA DRIVER'S LICENSE. AFTER READING MS DRAWDY HER MIRANDA RIGHTS, VIA AN AGENCY ISSUED PREPRINTED CARD, SHE STATED SHE PICKED UP THE DEFENDANT, MS CYNTHIA PARKINSON, AT ABC LIQUOR. SHE STATED THAT THE DEFENDANT CONVINCED HER THAT THE VICTIM HAD STOLE ITEMS FROM THE DEFENDANT AND THEY NEEDED TO RETALIATE. THE DEFENDANT THEN MADE TELEPHONE CALLS TO THE WITNESS AND ARRANGED THEM TO MEET AT HOLDEN PARK. MS DRAWDY STATED SHE ARRIVED WITH THE DEFENDANT TO THE PARK BEFORE THE WITNESS AND THE VICTIM. MS DRAWDY ADVISED SHE HAD HER SMALL DOG WITH HER, WHICH DEFECATED, AND THE DEFENDANT CONVINCED MS DRAWDY THAT THE VICTIM NEEDED âSHITâ SHOVED IN HER FACE BECAUSE SHE WAS AN EVIL PERSON. MS DRAWDY STATED THE DEFENDANT STAYED IN THE VEHICLE AND COVERED UP WITH A BLANKET SO THAT SHE COULD NOT BE SEEN BY THE VICTIM. MS DRAWDY STATED WHEN THE WITNESS ARRIVED ON SCENE SHE (WITNESS) EXITED THE VEHICLE TO MAKE A TELEPHONE CALL, AT WHICH TIME MS DRAWDY GOT INTO THE DRIVERâS SEAT OF THE WITNESSâ VEHICLE AND SHE SHOVED A PAPER TOWEL FULL OF DOG FECES IN THE VICTIMâS FACE. MS DRAWDY ADVISED SHE THEN GRABBED THE VICTIMâS PURSE AND RAN TO HER VEHICLE. THE VICTIM GAVE CHASE BUT COULD NOT CATCH MS DRAWDY. MS DRAWDY WAS VERY UPSET AND STATED THAT SHE KNEW SHE DID WRONG AND DID NOT WANT TO LIE ANYMORE. MS DRAWDY STATED THAT THE DEFENDANT PROMISED HER SOME PILLS AS A REWARD FOR STEALING THE PURSE AND SHOVING DOG FECES IN THE VICTIMâS FACE. I THEN SPOKE TO THE DEFENDANT WHO STATED SHE DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON, EXCEPT FOR MS DRAWDY WANTED TO GO TO THE DOG PARK. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED SHE received A TELEPHONE CALL ADVISING HER THAT THE WITNESS AND VICTIM WERE ON THEIR WAY TO THE DOG PARK AS WELL. SHE STATED SHE DID NOT KNOW THAT MS DRAWDY WAS GOING TO STEAL ANYTHING, BUT THEY DID TALK ABOUT PUTTING DOG FECES IN THE VICTIMâS FACE. UPON SPEAKING WITH MS DRAWDY AGAIN, SHE GAVE ME PERMISSION TO SEARCH HER VEHICLE. IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT ON THE FLOORBOARD, I LOCATED THE VICTIMâS BLACK PURSE WITH TAN STITCHING THAT CONTAINED A PRESCRIPTION BOTTLE WITH THE VICTIMâS NAME ON IT. IN A LARGE DRINK CUP FILLED WITH A FLUID AND ICE, I OBSERVED THREE GREAT VALUE PLASTIC BAGGIES CONTAINING A BLUE PILL THAT HAD âE8â ON IT. THE BAGGIES WERE SUBMERGED IN THE DRINK AND ON TOP OF THE BAGGIES WAS AN EMPTY PILL BOTTLE FROM THE VICTIM THAT WAS DATED 060816. THE DEFENDANT AND MS DRAWDY WERE THEN PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR ROBBERY BY SUDDEN SNATCHING. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED IN HANDCUFFS (DOUBLE LOCKED), PLACED IN THE REAR OF DEPUTY GENTILEâS (1362) VEHICLE, AND THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANTâS BOND WAS SET AT $2,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
