AFTER COMPLETING HIS INVESTIGATION, THE DEFENDANT, MS DESIREE WILSON, WAS ADVISED THAT SHE WAS FREE TO LEAVE.

WHILE WALKING AWAY, THE DEFENDANT BECAME IRATE, SCREAMING âFUCK YOU ASSHOLESâ AND NUMEROUS OTHER OBSCENITIES. THE DEFENDANT WAS SCREAMING IN SUCH A LOUD MANNER THAT I OBSERVED NUMEROUS people IN THE PARK ,INCLUDING CHILDREN, STOP WHAT THEY WERE DOING AND BEGIN TO WATCH THE DEFENDANT. I MADE CONTACT WITH VICTIM ONE, MS HOLLY RICHARDS, WHO WAS ONE OF THESE PEOPLE. MS RICHARDS ADVISED THAT THE DEFENDANT HAD BEEN CAUSING A DISTURBANCE ALL DAY, SCREAMING OBSCENITIES IN FRONT OF HER GRANDDAUGHTER AND DISTURBING THEIR TIME AT THE PARK. MS RICHARDS ADVISED SHE WOULD BE WILLING TO BE A VICTIM AND WOULD COMPLETE A SWORN STATEMENT. I AGAIN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT AND ADVISED HER SHE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR BREACH OF THE PEACE. SHE WAS HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HER BACK AND SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. WHILE THE VICTIM WAS COMPLETING A SWORN STATEMENT, THE DEFENDANT BEGAN KICKING THE BACK WINDOWS OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND REFUSING TO CALM DOWN.

WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR, THE DEFENDANT CALMED DOWN FOR A MINUTE, ADVISING SHE KNEW WE WERE PLACING LEG RESTRAINTS ON HER AND THAT SHE WOULD NOT RESIST. AS I ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE LEG RESTRAINTS ON, THE DEFENDANT INTENTIONALLY KICKED ME IN THE CHEST WITH BOTH OF HER FEET. THE LEG RESTRAINTS WERE THEN APPLIED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED IN A SITTING POSITION, SEAT BELTED IN AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR FURTHER PROCESSING. WHILE EN ROUTE TO THE DETENTION FACILITY, THE DEFENDANT BEGAN TO COMPLAIN OF NOT BEING ABLE TO BREATH. I PULLED OVER IN THE PARKING LOT OF PINE VIEW PLAZA.

UPON ARRIVAL, THE DEFENDANT WAS CHARGED WITH ONE COUNT OF BATTERY ON A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICE AS WELL AS ONE COUNT OF BREACH OF THE PEACE.
