ON 111009 AT 1540 HOURS, I WAS DISPATCHED TO 201 NORTH US HIGHWAY 41, WHICH IS THE FAMILY DOLLAR STORE. UPON ARRIVAL, CONTACT WAS MADE with THE VICTIM, WHO STATED THAT WHILE VISITING WITH A RELATIVE INSIDE THE FAMILY DOLLAR STORE, HE LEFT HIS VEHICLE UNSECURED FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 TO 20 MINUTES IN the PARKING LOT. HE STATED THAT WHILE HE WAS STANDING IN THE STORE talking WITH THE RELATIVE, HE OBSERVED A WHITE MALE ACTING VERY SUSPICIOUS STANDING IN FRONT OF the STORE NEAR HIS VEHICLE. HE OBSERVED THE WHITE MALE ASKING SOMEONE FOR DIRECTIONS, AND THE PERSON PHYSICALLY POINTING WHICH WAY TO GO. AFTER THE VICTIM WAS FINISHED VISITING INSIDE THE STORE, HE WALKED OUTSIDE TO HIS VEHICLE WHERE HE OBSERVED HIS MIO-Z320 GPS/MP3 PLAYER MISSING FROM HIS WINDSHIELD. HE ADVISED THAT THE UNIT WAS IN A HOLDER WHICH WAS SUCTIONED CUPPED to the INSIDE WINDSHIELD. THE HOLDER WAS LEFT IN THE VEHICLE, BUT THE GPS UNIT AND CHARGING CORD WERE MISSING. the VICTIM ADVISED THAT THE SUSPECT WAS WEARING PLAID SHORTS, A GRAY OR WHITE TANK TOP, AND CARRYING A GREEN BAG. THE VICTIM STATED THAT HE DID NOT SEE THE SUSPECT ENTER the VEHICLE, BUT STATED THAT HE WAS STANDING NEAR HIS VEHICLE. AT THAT TIME, I DID PUT OUT A DESCRIPTION OF THE SUSPECT OVER THE RADIO, AND DEPUTY LAUGHLIN ADVISED THAT HE HAD JUST OBSERVED THAT PERSON STANDING AT the INTERSECTION OF HIGHWAY 44 EAST AND MAIN STREET. I DID GO ACROSS THE STREET, WHERE I OBSERVED THE SUSPECT WALKING WESTBOUND ON MAIN STREET, APPROACHING MARTIN LUTHER KING BOULEVARD. I DID STOP the SUBJECT ON the SIDEWALK AND ASKED HIM WHERE HE WAS HEADING, TO WHICH HE STATED THE BUS STOP. I THEN ASKED the SUSPECT IF HE HAD ANY WEAPONS ON HIS PERSON, TO WHICH HE STATED, YES, AND HANDED ME A LARGE LOCK BLADE KNIFE FROM HIS FRONT RIGHT POCKET. I THEN OBSERVED WHAT APPEARED TO BE A CHARGING CORD HANGING OUT OF HIS GREEN BOOK BAG. I ASKED THE SUSPECT WHAT THE CHARGING CORD WAS FOR, AND HE STATED A GPS THAT HE DOES NOT HAVE ANY MORE. I THEN BEGAN TO PAT THE SUSPECT DOWN FOR ANY FURTHER WEAPONS, AND WHEN I GOT TO HIS REAR LEFT POCKET I OBSERVED WHAT APPEARED TO BE A BLACK GPS IN THE POCKET. I DID RETRIEVE THE GPS WHICH WAS A MIO Z320 GPS/MP3 PLAYER. AT THAT TIME, I DID PLACE THE SUSPECT IN HANDCUFFS (DOUBLE-LOCKED), and IMMEDIATELY READ HIM HIS MIRANDA WARNING FROM A PREPRINTED CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE CARD. AT THAT TIME, I DID QUESTION THE SUSPECT, MR DANE DOSS, ON HOW HE OBTAINED THE GPS AND CHARGING CORD. HE STATED THAT HE GOT IT FROM A FRIEND, AND HE DOES NOT know WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT, THAT IT WAS A GIFT. DEPUTY LAUGHLIN DID RESPOND BACK OVER TO THE FAMILY DOLLAR STORE WHERE THE VICTIM WAS STILL STANDING BY. THE VICTIM DID RESPOND ACROSS THE STREET TO MY LOCATION, WHERE HE IDENTIFY MR DANE DOSS, AS THE SUSPECT THAT WAS STANDING NEAR HIS VEHICLE ASKING FOR DIRECTIONS. THE VICTIM THEN TURNED ON HIS GPS AND PRESSED "HOME ADDRESS", WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE ADDRESS STORED UNDER THIS TITLE WAS THAT OF THE VICTIM'S. AT THAT TIME I DID PLACE MR DANE DOSS UNDER ARREST FOR BURGLARY TO AN UNOCCUPIED CONVEYANCE and GRAND THEFT. A PROPERTY RECEIPT WAS FILLED OUT, AND THE PROPERTY WAS RETURNED TO THE VICTIM. I THEN TRANSPORTED the DEFENDANT TO the CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $5,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
