ON 092009, I WAS TRAVELING NORTH ON TURNER CAMP ROAD IN MY AGENCY MARKED PATROL VEHICLE IN THE AREA OF WINDERMERE. AT THAT TIME, I OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT, MR DERRICK HERMAN WASHINGTON, IN HIS VEHICLE TRAVELING SOUTH ON TURNER CAMP ROAD. I RECOGNIZED THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE FROM EARLIER IN THE DAY, WHERE I HAD LEARNED THAT HE HAD A SUSPENDED DRIVER'S LICENSE. I TURNED AROUND, AND AT THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT THEN MADE A RIGHT TURN ONTO RAILROAD WAY, AND ACCELERATED. I GOT BEHIND THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE AND ACTIVATED MY OVERHEAD LIGHTS. I COULD SEE THE DEFENDANT LOOKING IN HIS REAR VIEW MIRROR, BUT NOT SHOWING ANY SIGNS THAT HE WAS GOING TO STOP. I THEN ACTIVATED MY SIREN, HOWEVER, THE DEFENDANT STILL REFUSED TO STOP. HE THEN TURNED RIGHT ON THE DIRT SECTION OF ELLA AVENUE, AND PROCEEDED UNTIL HE STOPPED IN FRONT OF A RESIDENCE AT THE END OF THE ROAD. AT THAT POINT, I EXITED MY PATROL VEHICLE, AND PLACED THE DEFENDANT UNDER ARREST WITHOUT INCIDENT. AT THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT WAS HANDCUFFED, (DOUBLE LOCKED) AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. THE DEFENDANT WAS ISSUED A UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION, NUMBER 8930-ESG, AND HELD ON A COMBINED BOND OF $5500.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE WAS LEFT ON THE SCENE AT HIS REQUEST. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
