THE VICTIM, MS KELLY KRAUSE, REPORTED TO DEPUTY CAREY THAT UNKNOWN PERSON(S) ENTERED HER RESIDENCE AND REMOVED ONE DINING ROOM TABLE, FOUR CHAIRS AND THREE FLORIDA STATE VEHICLE TITLES.

ON 081313, I RECEIVED INFORMATION THAT MR GEORGE KNIGHTLY OF KNIGHTLY AUTO PURCHASED THREE VEHICLES FROM 8475 NORTH ZAVAL AVENUE. MR KNIGHTLY ADVISED THAT HE RECEIVED A TELEPHONE CALL FROM AN UNKNOWN WHITE MALE, WHO WAS LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT, MR DAVID WAYNE MIKEL ON 080513 FROM TELEPHONE NUMBER 352-422-8100, IN REFERENCE TO PURCHASING THREE VEHICLES. THE DEFENDANT MADE ARRANGEMENTS WITH MR KNIGHTLY TO MEET AT 8475 NORTH ZAVAL AVENUE. THE DEFENDANT ARRIVED DRIVING A WHITE FORD F-150. THE DEFENDANT THEN PROVIDED THREE FLORIDA TITLES AND SOLD THE 1987 DODGE RAIDER, 1987 MITSUBISHI MONTERO AND 1987 PLYMOUTH MINIVAN TO MR KNIGHTLY FOR $900.00. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE PHONE NUMBER 352-422-8100 COMES BACK TO THE DEFENDANT, MR DAVID MIKEL, WHO ALSO IS THE REGISTERED OWNER OF THE WHITE FORD F-150. I ALSO RECEIVED ADDITIONAL INFORMATION THAT THE DEFENDANT DROPS OFF HIS CHILDREN AT CENTRAL RIDGE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

AFTER THE DEFENDANT HAD DROPPED OFF HIS CHILDREN AND WAS POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED BY MR KNIGHTLY, A VEHICLE STOP WAS CONDUCTED OFF SCHOOL PROPERTY ON THE CORNER OF WEST CITRUS SPRINGS BOULEVARD AND WEST KENMORE DRIVE. AT THAT POINT, THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY BY DEPUTY NEAL. UPON ARRIVAL, I READ THE DEFENDANT MIRANDA WARNINGS FROM A PRE PRINTED AGENCY CARD. THE DEFENDANT STATED HE UNDERSTOOD AND WAS WILLING TO ANSWER MY QUESTIONS. PRIOR TO SPEAKING ABOUT HIS CASE, THE DEFENDANT REQUESTED AN ATTORNEY. THE INTERVIEW WAS TERMINATED. THE INTERVIEW WAS DIGITALLY RECORDED, WHICH WILL BE DOWNLOADED ONTO THE SERVER.
