SUBMITTED BY: STRICKLAND, JASON 0583 (13-40432) A9AR13-4990) \t\t\tREYNOLDS, CONNARY 1267 DID UNLAWFULLY AND KNOWINGLY OBTAIN, USE OR ENDEAVOR TO OBTAIN OR USE THE PROPERTY OF THE VICTIM, TO-WIT: SAMSUNG GALAXY TABLET, OF THE VALUE OF THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($300.00) OR MORE, BUT LESS THAN TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($20,000.00), WITH THE INTENT TO EITHER TEMPORARILY OR PERMANENTLY DEPRIVE THE VICTIM OF A RIGHT TO THE PROPERTY OR A BENEFIT THEREOF, OR DID APPROPRIATE THE SAID PROPERTY TO HER OWN USE OR THE USE OF ANY PERSON NOT ENTITLED THERETO, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATUTES 812.014(2)(C)(1). ON 032713, AT APPROXIMATELY 1013 HOURS, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM DISPATCH IN REFERENCE TO A THEFT THAT HAD ALREADY OCCURRED AT 2720 WEST ROYAL PALM DRIVE, DUNNELLON. UPON ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM, MS ANDREA JOHNSON, WHO ADVISED THAT TWO IPHONE CHARGERS WERE TAKEN FROM THE COUNTER OF HER RESIDENCE AND ALSO A WHITE AND BLACK IN COLOR SAMSUNG GALAXY TABLET CONTAINED IN AN OTTER BOX WAS TAKEN FROM THE NIGHT STAND NEAR HER BED. MS JOHNSON STATED ON SATURDAY NIGHT, 032313, AT APPROXIMATELY 2300 HOURS, SHE AND HER FRIEND/WITNESS, MS MARJETTA WAGNER, WENT TO THE SPARROW BAR AND MET UP WITH MS WAGNERâS FRIEND/DEFENDANT, MS DEBORAH GILL. MS JOHNSON STATED WHILE AT THE BAR SHE BECAME VERY INTOXICATED AND WAS VOMITING AND DEFECATING HERSELF. MS JOHNSON SAID THAT SHE WANTED TO GO HOME AND THE WITNESS AND THE DEFENDANT TOOK THE VICTIM HOME TO HER HOUSE AND PUT HER INTO HER BED. UPON WAKING UP ON 032413, AT APPROXIMATELY 0800 HOURS, MS JOHNSON NOTICED THE TWO IPHONE CHARGES FROM HER COUNTER WERE MISSING AND THAT THE DRAWER TO HER NIGHT STAND NEXT TO HER BED WAS OPEN AND HER WHITE AND BLACK SAMSUNG GALAXY CONTAINED IN A OTTER BOX WAS MISSING. MS JOHNSON CALLED HER FRIEND, MS WAGNER, TO ASK WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO THESE ITEMS. MS WAGNER TOLD HER THAT DEFENDANT GILL TOOK THE ITEMS BECAUSE THE DOG HAD PEED ON THEM AND SHE WANTED TO FIX THEM. IT SHOULD BE NOTED, THAT AT NO TIME DID THE VICTIM GIVE PERMISSION TO DEFENDANT GILL TO TAKE THE ITEMS AND THAT MS JOHNSON WAS ALSO EXTREMELY INTOXICATED. MS JOHNSON STATED WHILE ON THE TELEPHONE WITH MS WAGNER, SHE STATED THAT DEFENDANT GILL HAD THE WHITE AND BLACK SAMSUNG GALAXY CONTAINED IN AN OTTER BOX AND THE TWO IPHONE CHARGES IN HER POSSESSION. MS JOHNSON ALSO ADVISED US THAT MS WAGNER AND DEFENDANT GILL WORKED AT THE AVANTE ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY AND THAT MS WAGNER WAS CURRENTLY RESIDING AT THE CITRUS ABUSE SHELTER ASSOCIATION. MS JOHNSON WAS PROVIDED WITH A WRITTEN STATEMENT FORM WHICH SHE COMPLETED AND WAS SWORN TO. I PROVIDED THE VICTIM WITH AN AGENCY ISSUED CASE CARD BEARING THIS CASE NUMBER AND MY IDENTIFICATION AND ADVISED THE VICTIM TO CONTACT THIS AGENCY WITH ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS CASE. I RESPONDED TO THE CITRUS ABUSE SHELTER ASSOCIATION. UPON ARRIVAL I MADE CONTACT WITH THE WITNESS, MS WAGNER, WHO ADVISED THAT THEY HAD INDEED GONE TO THE BAR AND UPON THE VICTIM BECOMING VERY SICK, SHE AND DEFENDANT GILL TOOK THE VICTIM TO HER HOME. WHEN THEY ARRIVED AT THE VICTIMâS RESIDENCE, THEY PUT HER TO BED AND MS JOHNSON PROCEEDED TO CLEAN MS JOHNSON WHILE DEFENDANT GILL TOOK THE ITEMS. MS WAGNER ADVISED THAT SHE WAS GIVEN THE ITEMS BY DEFENDANT GILL WHILE THEY WERE BOTH WORKING AT AVANTE. THE ITEMS WERE THEN RECOVERED FROM MS WAGNER AT THE CITRUS ABUSE SHELTER ASSOCIATION AND SHE WAS PROVIDED WITH A PROPERTY RECEIPT FOR THE ITEMS TAKEN. MS WAGNER WAS ALSO PROVIDED WITH A WRITTEN STATEMENT WHICH SHE COMPLETED AND WAS SWORN TO. AFTER SPEAKING WITH MS WAGNER AND RECOVERING THE ITEMS, I RESPONDED TO THE AVANTE ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY AND SPOKE WITH THE FACILITY DIRECTORS TO SEE IF DEFENDANT GILL WAS WORKING ON THIS DATE, 032713. THEY ADVISED THAT SHE WAS WORKING AND CALLED HER INTO THE DIRECTOR OF NURSINGâS OFFICE WHERE WE SPOKE WITH HER. WHEN DEFENDANT GILL WALKED INTO THE ROOM AND SAT DOWN, SHE APPEARED VERY NERVOUS AND I NOTICED HER HANDS WERE VISIBLY SHAKING. I READ THE DEFENDANT HER MIRANDA WARNING VIA AGENCY PREPRINTED CARD. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED THAT SHE UNDERSTOOD HER RIGHTS AND STATED THAT SHE WOULD SPEAK WITH ME AT THIS TIME. DEFENDANT GILL STATED WHILE AT THE VICTIMâS RESIDENCE, SHE MOVED THE TABLET FROM THE VICTIMâS BED AND PLACED IT ON THE FLOOR WHERE THE DOG THEN PEED ON IT. DEFENDANT GILL THEN STATED SHE TOLD THE VICTIM SHE WAS TAKING THE ITEM TO TRY TO FIX IT. AT NO TIME DID THE VICTIM GIVE HER PERMISSION TO TAKE IT HOME. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT DEFENDANT GILL WAS NOT FRIENDS WITH THE VICTIM AND DID NOT KNOW THE VICTIMâS TELEPHONE NUMBER TO MAKE CONTACT WITH HER TO TELL HER ABOUT THE TABLET AND TWO IPHONE CHARGERS. AT THIS TIME DEFENDANT GILL WAS ESCORTED TO MY PATROL VEHICLE WHERE SHE WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR GRAND THEFT, HANDCUFFED, BEHIND HER BACK, (DOUBLE LOCKED), SEARCHED, SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANTâS BOND WAS SET AT $2,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE PROPERTY WAS TURNED BACK OVER TO THE VICTIM WITH HER SIGNING THE PROPERTY RECEIPT AS TAKING POSSESSION OF THE ITEMS. THE PROPERTY RECEIPT AND SWORN WRITTEN STATEMENTS WERE COLLECTED AND TURNED IN TO RECORDS. NO FURTHER ACTION BY THIS DEPUTY. |
