ON 041209 AT 1555 HOURS, I RESPONDED TO A POSSIBLE BURGLARY IN PROGRESS AT AN UNKNOWN ADDRESS ON SOUTH FILLMORE STREET. THE ADDRESS WAS LATER DETERMINED TO BE 205 SOUTH FILLMORE STREET IN BEVERLY HILLS. THE COMPLAINANT, WHO IS A NEIGHBOR, HAD OBSERVED A MALE SUBJECT, LATER DETERMINED TO BE DEFENDANT ONE, MR DAKOTA BRIDEWELL, CUT THROUGH HER BACKYARD GOING TOWARD THE RESIDENCE ON SOUTH FILLMORE STREET. SHORTLY AFTER OBSERVING THIS, THE COMPLAINANT HEARD GLASS BREAK. DISPATCH ADVISED INFORMATION IN REFERENCE TO A RED VEHICLE THAT WAS OBSERVED IN THE AREA, THAT THIS VEHICLE HAD DROPPED OFF DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL AND WAS STILL IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE SOUTH FILLMORE STREET LOCATION. WHILE I WAS STILL EN ROUTE TO THE SCENE, THIS VEHICLE WAS LOCATED BY ANOTHER DEPUTY AND A TRAFFIC STOP WAS CONDUCTED. SHORTLY AFTER MY ARRIVAL ON SCENE, AT APPROXIMATELY 1556 HOURS, I WAS WAVED-DOWN BY NEIGHBORS WHO ADVISED THAT DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL WAS JUST OBSERVED RUNNING FROM THE AREA, HEADED NORTH FROM THE AREA OF REGINA BOULEVARD AND SOUTH FILLMORE STREET. AT THAT TIME, I RELAYED THIS INFORMATION OVER THE RADIO AND STARTED TO BOLO FOR DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL. I PROCEEDED NORTH ON SOUTH FILLMORE STREET TO ROOSEVELT BOULEVARD, AT WHICH TIME I MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN, THEN ANOTHER RIGHT HAND TURN ON TO SOUTH LINCOLN AVENUE. AT THAT POINT, I OBSERVED A SUBJECT WHO MATCHED THE DESCRIPTION OF DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL. I ORDERED HIM TO THE GROUND AND HANDCUFFED HIM (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK. WHILE CHECKING DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL FOR WEAPONS, I DISCOVERED HE HAD ON AN ANKLE MONITORING BRACELET. IT WAS DURING THIS TIME THAT DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL, WHO WAS BREATHING HARD AND SWEATING HEAVILY, ASKED WHAT I WAS STOPPING HIM FOR. I INFORMED HIM I WAS INVESTIGATING A POSSIBLE BURGLARY TO A RESIDENCE, THAT HE MATCHED THE DESCRIPTION OF THE SUBJECT WHO WAS SEEN AT THE RESIDENCE, AND THAT HE WAS BEING DETAINED. SHORTLY AFTER DETAINING DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL, DEPUTY CARTWRIGHT BROUGHT TWO WITNESSES TO MY LOCATION WHO POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL AS THE SUBJECT WHO THEY OBSERVED WALKING QUICKLY THROUGH THEIR BACKYARD WHICH WAS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO 205 SOUTH FILLMORE STREET. ONE OF THE WITNESSES OBSERVED DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL CARRYING A BAG OF SOME TYPE WHICH DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL DID NOT HAVE WHEN I LOCATED HIM. I TRANSPORTED DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL BACK TO 205 SOUTH FILLMORE STREET WHERE ONE OF THE HOMEOWNERS/VICTIM, WHO WE WERE ABLE TO CONTACT, WAS AT THE SCENE. BOTH THE VICTIM AND HER DAUGHTER, WHO WERE FAMILIAR WITH DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL, DENIED GIVING DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL PERMISSION TO BE IN THE HOME. I WAS ALSO ABLE TO VIEW THE PROPERTY, WHICH HAD BEEN REMOVED FROM THE RESIDENCE AND WHICH WAS LOCATED BY CANINE DEPUTY DEARDEN BESIDE A RESIDENCE, LATER DETERMINED TO BE 202 SOUTH LINCOLN AVENUE. THE PROPERTY WAS DETERMINED TO BE 64 VIDEO GAMES, 24 DVDS, AND AN X-BOX VIDEO GAME SYSTEM WITH A CONTROLLER, FOR AN OVERALL APPROXIMATE VALUE OF $930.00. THESE ITEMS WERE PROCESSED AND RETURNED TO THE VICTIM. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL WHO WAS SITTING IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. I READ HIM MIRANDA WARNINGS FROM A PRE-PRINTED CARD, TO WHICH DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL WAIVED HIS RIGHTS AND AGREED TO SPEAK WITH ME. DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL STATED HE HAD PERMISSION FROM ONE OF THE VICTIMS TO GO INTO THE RESIDENCE TO GET SOME OF HIS GAMES AND DVDS. WHEN I ASKED DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL HOW HE HAD GOTTEN INTO THE RESIDENCE, HE STATED THAT HE WENT IN THE DOOR AT THE BACK OF THE RESIDENCE AND THAT THIS DOOR WAS UNLOCKED. WHEN I QUESTIONED DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL ABOUT THE SIDE GARAGE DOOR WINDOW WHICH WAS BROKEN, HE DENIED ANY KNOWLEDGE OF HOW IT HAD GOTTEN BROKEN AND ALSO DENIED BREAKING IT. I ASKED DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL IF ALL OF THE STUFF THAT HE HAD TAKEN OUT OF THE RESIDENCE WAS HIS AND HE STATED THAT SOME OF IT WAS. HOWEVER, ALL PROPERTY WAS LATER DETERMINED BY THE VICTIM TO BELONG TO THE VICTIM. DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL ALSO STATED THAT IF HE WAS GOING DOWN, SO WAS THE CO-DEFENDANT, MR JOSHUA SULLO, BECAUSE HE KNEW ALL ABOUT IT. I ASKED DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL IF HE HAD PERMISSION TO BE AT THE RESIDENCE TO PICK UP HIS BELONGINGS THEN WHY DID CO-DEFENDANT SULLO NOT PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY AND WHY DID DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL ABANDON THE PROPERTY BESIDE A RESIDENCE ON THE NEXT STREET OVER, TO WHICH DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL COULD NOT GIVE ME AN ANSWER. CO-DEFENDANT SULLO WHO, AFTER BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST, READ MIRANDA FROM A PRE-PRINTED CARD AND WAIVING HIS RIGHTS, STATED HE DROPPED OFF DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL ON SOUTH FILLMORE STREET SO DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL COULD GET SOME STUFF FOR HIS GIRLFRIEND, WHO IS A VICTIM, AT WHICH TIME HE WAITED A FEW MINUTES. THE AREA WHERE CO-DEFENDANT SULLO STATED THAT HE STOPPED WAS STILL ON THE ROADWAY JUST NORTH OF THE DRIVEWAY AT 205 SOUTH FILLMORE STREET. CO-DEFENDANT SULLO THEN STATED THAT HE DROVE AROUND THE BLOCK, LOOKING TO PICK DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL UP. CO-DEFENDANT SULLO LATER STATED THAT HE WAS DRIVING AROUND THE BLOCK BECAUSE HE WAS IN A HURRY AND HAD TO GO EAT DINNER WITH HIS FAMILY. CO-DEFENDANT SULLO CONTINUED TO STATE THAT HE WAS TOLD THAT ONE OF THE VICTIMS HAD GIVEN DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL PERMISSION TO GET SOMETHING FOR HER. CO-DEFENDANT SULLO STATED HE WAS DRIVING AROUND, TRYING TO FIND DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL AND THEN GOT PULLED OVER. CO-DEFENDANT SULLO ALSO STATED THAT AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, AFTER BEING AT THE RESIDENCE, HE DID START TO THINK THAT DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL MIGHT BE DOING THE WRONG THING. WITNESSES IN THE AREA OBSERVED CO-DEFENDANT SULLO'S VEHICLE ON SOUTH LINCOLN AVENUE, WHERE THE WITNESSES ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE STOPPED AND A SUBJECT EXITED THE VEHICLE, AT WHICH TIME THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO CIRCLE THE BLOCK. HOWEVER, CO-DEFENDANT SULLO DENIED THAT THIS HAPPENED. DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL AND CO-DEFENDANT SULLO WERE BOTH TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY AND TURNED OVER TO DETENTION FACILITY STAFF. DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL WAS CHARGED WITH ONE COUNT OF BURGLARY OF AN UNOCCUPIED DWELLING AND ONE COUNT OF GRAND THEFT. SINCE DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL WAS CURRENTLY ON GPS MONITORING, CAREER CRIMINAL UNIT DETECTIVE VIRGILIO WAS CONTACTED AND DEFENDANT BRIDEWELL WILL HAVE NO BOND. CO-DEFENDANT SULLO WAS CHARGED WITH ONE COUNT OF ACCESSORY AFTER THE FACT WITH BOND SET AT $2,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
