| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: FULLER, DAVID 0267 (AR12-2896)âââââ DID UNLAWFULLY COMMIT BATTERY UPON THE VICTIM BY ACTUALLY AND INTENTIONALLY TOUCHING OR STRIKING SAID PERSON AGAINST SAID PERSON'S WILL, OR BY INTENTIONALLY CAUSING BODILY HARM, TO WIT: BY GRABBING THE VICTIMâS HAIR AND PULLING THE VICTIM BACKWARDS IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 784.03(1)(A)(1). ON 092512, I ARRIVED AT 2275 WEST AUSTIN DRIVE IN DUNNELLON IN REFERENCE TO A DISTURBANCE. THERE I INITIALLY MET THE DEFENDANT, MS DALMA COUNTS, IN HER FRONT YARD. THE DEFENDANT HAD BEEN DRINKING AND DID APPEAR TO BE INTOXICATED WITH A STRONG ODOR OF AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE EMITTING FROM HER PERSON. THE DEFENDANT HAD BEEN YELLING AT THE NEIGHBORS ACROSS THE STREET AND CAUSING A DISTURBANCE. AT THAT TIME I TOLD THE DEFENDANT TO GO BACK UP ONTO HER CARPORT WHILE I SPOKE TO THE NEIGHBORS. AS I WALKED DOWN TO THE STREET, I WAS APPROACHED BY THE VICTIM, MS CHARLENE HART, WHO LIVES AT 2221 WEST AUSTIN DRIVE. SHE STATED THAT THE DEFENDANT HAD COME DOWN TO HER RESIDENCE EARLIER AND APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN DRUNK AND STARTED TO TALK TO HER ABOUT SOMETHING THAT SHE COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THE DEFENDANT WAS SAYING, BECAUSE HER SPEECH WAS SLURRED. SHE STATED THAT SHE TURNED TO GO INSIDE HER RESIDENCE, BECAUSE SHE DID NOT WANT TO SPEAK WITH THE DEFENDANT. THE VICTIM STATED THE DEFENDANT GRABBED HER BY HER HAIR PULLING HER BACKWARDS. THE VICTIM TOLD THE DEFENDANT TO LET GO AND GO HOME, TO WHICH THE DEFENDANT COMPLIED WITH. I THEN WENT BACK AND SPOKE WITH THE DEFENDANT AGAIN. SHE STATED THAT SHE HAD GONE DOWN TO THE VICTIMâS RESIDENCE. SHE ALSO ADMITTED TO DRINKING EIGHT BEERS AND SHE ALSO SAID THAT SHE WAS SORRY, BUT THAT SHE NEVER PULLED THE VICTIMâS HAIR. I THEN PLACED THE DEFENDANT UNDER ARREST FOR BATTERY, HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED), SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED HER TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANTâS BOND WAS SET AT $500.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE VICTIM WAS PROVIDED A CASE CARD BEARING THIS CASE NUMBER. THE VICTIM ALSO COMPLETED A SWORN WRITTEN STATEMENT, WHICH WAS TURNED IN TO THE CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE (CCSO) RECORDS DIVISION. |
