| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: COX, ANDY 0543 (AR12124688) DID UNLAWFULLY RESIST, OBSTRUCT OR OPPOSE DEPUTY COX, WHO WAS THEN AND THERE IN THE LAWFUL EXECUTION OF A LEGAL DUTY, OR EXECUTION OF LEGAL PROCESS, TO WIT: CAME UP BEHIND DEPUTY WHILE HE HAD K-9, THE K-9 ATTEMPTED TO DEFEND DEPUTY, THE SUSPECT WAS TOLD THREE TIMES TO STEP AWAY AND GO BACK INSIDE THE RESIDENCE AND SHE REFUSED TO LISTEN TO LAWFUL COMMANDS AND CONTINUED TO INTERFERE, WITHOUT OFFERING OR DOING VIOLENCE TO THE PERSON OF SUCH OFFICER, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 843.02. ON 020512, AT APPROXIMATELY 2030 HOURS, I WAS RESPONDING IN REFERENCE TO A BACK-UP CALL WHERE THE SUSPECT, MR MARC WAINWRIGHT, HAD FLED FROM A CRASH AND RAN INTO A RESIDENCE. I ARRIVED ON SCENE A FEW MOMENTS LATER AND THE DEPUTIES ON SCENE ADVISED ME THAT THE SUSPECT WAS HIDING IN THE RESIDENCE. I DEPLOYED K-9 PRIEST BUT KEPT HIM ON A SIX FOOT LEAD, DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE PEOPLE INSIDE THE RESIDENCE WERE NOT COOPERATING AND NOT EXITING THE RESIDENCE AS INSTRUCTED TO DO SO. K-9 PRIEST LOCATED SUSPECT WAINWRIGHT HIDING UNDER A MATTRESS AND ABOVE THE BOX SPRING. I THEN PUT K-9 PRIEST IN A STAY POSITION, AND REMOVED THE MATTRESS EXPOSING THE SUSPECT AND ADVISED THE SUSPECT WAINWRIGHT TO SHOW ME HIS HANDS. HE INITIALLY COMPLIED AND WAS VERY SLOW TO REACT TO OUR COMMANDS. DEPUTY ALEXANDER HAD ENTERED THE ROOM AND WAS TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE BED WHEN THE SUSPECT FINALLY ROLLED OVER AND BEGAN TO SLOWLY PLACE HIS HANDS BEHIND HIS BACK. I GRABBED THE SUSPECT WAINWRIGHT BY THE BELT AND SLID HIM BACK TOWARDS ME. FOR OFFICER SAFELY REASONS DID NOT WANT TO CLIMB ONTO THE BED. I SLID SUSPECT TOWARDS THE EDGE OF BED AND HE BEGAN TO RESIST AND ATTEMPTED TO PULL AWAY, I ORDERED K-9 PRIEST INTO THE DOWN POSITION, I GRABBED THE SUSPECT BY THE WRIST AND USED MY RIGHT KNEE TO KEEP HIS HANDS FROM PULLING FREE. HE BEGAN TO ATTEMPT TO PULL AWAY, I PUSHED HIS HANDS CLOSER TO HIS NECK PLACED HIM IN HANDCUFFS AND HE BEGAN TO THRASH AND KICK . HE BEGAN TO RISE BACK OFF OF THE BED TO YELL AND SCREAM, I PLACED MY HANDS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF HIS FACE AND TOLD HIM TO BE QUIET OR MY K-9 WOULD APPREHEND HIM . K-9 PRIEST WAS BECOMING VERY AGITATED AND BEGINNING TO GO INTO HANDLER PROTECTION MODE, I HAD TO ORDER HIM TO STAY AGAIN. THE SUSPECT CONTINUED TO FIGHT AND THRASH ABOUT AS I ATTEMPTED TO GET HIM OFF OF THE BED, HE TRIED TO PULL AWAY. HE PULLED DOWN AND WENT DOWN TOWARDS THE REAR OF BED BREAKING THE BED KNOCKING THE FOOTBOARD DOWN. I PAST OFF THE SUSPECT TO TWO OTHER DEPUTIES IN REFERENCE TO MAINTAINING CONTROL OF K-9 PRIEST. K-9 PRIEST WAS STILL LEASHED BUT VERY WORKED UP AS I FOLLOWED THE DEPUTIES OUT OF RESIDENCE WITH SUSPECT WAINWRIGHT, WHEN THE SECOND SUSPECT, MS DANIELLE TYRREL, CAME UP BEHIND ME YELLING AND SCREAMING JUST AS I EXITED THE RESIDENCE K-9 PRIEST WENT INTO HANDLER PROTECTION MODE AND PULLED TOWARDS SUSPECT TYRREL, HARD ENOUGH WHERE THE LEASH CUT MY THUMB. I TOLD THE SUSPECT TYRELL TO STEP BACK AND GET BACK IN THE RESIDENCE. SHE TOLD ME TO "FUCK OFF", THAT IT IS HER RESIDENCE AND SHE CAN DO WHAT SHE WANTS AND AGAIN APPROACHED ME. I ORDERED HER BACK A SECOND TIME AND SHE CONTINUED TO YELL AND SCREAM THAT SHE COULD DO WHAT SHE WANTED. I PLACED K-9 PRIEST IN THE DOWN POSITION AS SHE CONTINUED TO YELL AND SCREAM. I GRABBED HER BY HER RIGHT WRIST TOLD HER TO PUT HER OTHER HAND BEHIND HER BACK AND PLACED HER IN HANDCUFFS AND ADVISED HER THAT SHE WAS UNDER ARREST FOR INTERFERENCE AND THEN PASSED HER OFF TO OTHER DEPUTES IN REFERENCE TO MAINTAINING CONTROL OF K-9 PRIEST. I THEN TOOK SUSPECT ONE INTO CUSTODY, AND OTHER DEPUTIES ESCORTED HIM FROM THE RESIDENCE.
