ON 101509 I RESPONDED TO BROWN'S AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR, AT 70 NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE, REGARDING A BATTERY. UPON ARRIVAL I MADE CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM. HE ADVISED THAT WHILE DRIVING WESTBOUND ON MAIN STREET AND NORTH BOUND ON NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE, HE ENCOUNTERED A GREEN FORD F150 WITH A TRAILER. THE VICTIM BELIEVES THE DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE MUST THINK HE CUT HIM OFF AT MAIN STREET AND HIGHWAY 41 NORTH MERGE. THE VICTIM SAID HE DID FLICK THE DRIVER OFF WHEN HE GOT INTO THE TURN LANE FOR BROWN'S AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR. THE VICTIM WATCHED THE FORD DRIVE PAST HIM BUT THEN PULL INTO THE NORTH ENTRANCE OF BROWN'S AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE STOPPED NEXT TO THE VICTIM'S VEHICLE. THE VICTIM STATED HIS WINDOW WAS DOWN, AND THE PASSENGER OF THE FORD, THE DEFENDANT, AND THE DRIVER/WITNESS TWO, STARTED YELLING AT THE VICTIM. THE PASSENGER OF THE TRUCK, THE DEFENDANT, VERBALLY CONFRONTED THE VICTIM THROUGH HIS WINDOW AND STRUCK THE VICTIM WITH A CLOSED FIST IN HIS LEFT CHEEK SEVERAL TIMES. THE VICTIM SUSTAINED SWELLING TO HIS LEFT CHEEK. THE VICTIM'S PASSENGER/ WITNESS ONE TOLD THEM THEY NEEDED TO STOP, WHICH THEY DID AND DROVE OFF. THE VICTIM'S PASSENGER/ WITNESS ONE WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE A TAG NUMBER AND RECALLS THE SUSPECT FROM A LOCAL GAS STATION AND BELIEVES HIS NAME IS "EDDIE". I SPOKE WITH AN EMPLOYEE/ WITNESS THREE WHO STATED WHILE SHE WAS WORKING OUTSIDE SHE OBSERVED THE FORD PULL IN. SHE TOOK NOTICE TO THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE PASSENGER DOOR WAS OPEN AND THE VEHICLE WAS STILL MOVING. SHE THEN OBSERVED THE FORD'S DRIVER/ WITNESS TWO EXIT THE VEHICLE, SHE SAW THE PASSENGER/ THE DEFENDANT OF THE FORD DRAW HIS ARM BACK AS IF TO PUNCH BUT DID NOT SEE A STRIKE OCCUR. SHE DID OBSERVE BOTH MEN OF THE FORD TRUCK WITH THEIR HANDS AND ARMS INSIDE THE VEHICLE AS THE VICTIM ROLLED UP THE WINDOW. THIS EMPLOYEE YELLED AT THE MEN TO LEAVE WHICH THEY DID. I LATER MADE CONTACT WITH WITNESS TWO/ DRIVER OF THE FORD TRUCK, ALSO THE OWNER OF THE TRUCK, AND THE DEFENDANT AT WITNESS TWO'S HOUSE. WITNESS TWO STATED HE DID CONFRONT THE VICTIM BECAUSE OF ROAD RAGE, WHEN THE VICTIM ATTEMPTED TO EXIT HIS VEHICLE WITNESS TWO STOPPED HIM, THAT IS WHEN THE DEFENDANT CONFRONTED THE VICTIM STRIKING HIM IN THE FACE. I THEN SPOKE WITH THE DEFENDANT WHO ADMITTED TO CONFRONTING THE VICTIM AND TAKING A SWING AT HIM BUT STATED HE DID NOT MAKE CONTACT. THE DEFENDANT SAID HE FELT THREATENED AND DID NOT WANT ANY TROUBLE. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE- LOCKED), AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. WHILE TRANSPORTING THE DEFENDANT TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY HE ASKED ABOUT THE BOOKING PROCESS AND HE THEN ASKED HOW OLD THE VICTIM WAS. I ADVISED SEVENTEEN YEARS OLD.
