ON 040311, GABRIEL IGLESIAS AND WILLIAM STUELKE WERE TAKEN IN TO CUSTODY ON UNRELATED TRAFFIC OFFENSES BY DEPUTY JASON STRICKLAND OF THE CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE. THIS DETECTIVE WAS NOTIFIED AND RESPONDED TO THE SCENE WHEN TOLD THAT WILLIAM STUELKE REQUESTED TO SPEAK WITH SOMEONE IN REFERENCE TO RECENT BURGLARIES AND THEFTS REPORTED EARLIER THIS DATE. DURING A POST MIRANDA DIGITALLY RECORDED INTERVIEW, WILLIAM STULKE ADVISED THAT HE BELIEVED HIS ROOMMATE, GABRIEL IGLESIAS, WAS INVOLVED IN THE REPORTED THEFTS OF MARINE AND FISHING ACCESSORIES. WILLIAMS STUELKE ADVISED THAT GABRIEL IGLESIAS LEFT THEIR RESIDENCE LOCATED AT WATSON'S FISH CAMP AT 4195 EAST PARSON'S POINT ROAD LOT, 37, HERNANDO FLORIDA, AROUND 2230 HOURS ON 040211 AND DID NOT RETURN UNTIL 0400 HOURS ON 040311.

WHEN ASKED WHAT WAS IN THE CLOSED CLOSET, WILLIAM STUELKE ADVISED THAT HE DID NOT KNOW THAT GABRIEL IGLESIAS KEPT STUFF IN THERE. THIS DETECTIVE THEN ASKED WILLIAM STUELKE WHERE THE STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE WAS COMING FROM INSIDE THE CAMPER, WHERE HE ADVISED HE DID NOT KNOW. THIS DETECTIVE WAS ABLE TO ESTABLISH THE STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE WAS COMING FROM THE CLOSED CLOSETS BY SMELLING THE GAP IN THE CLOSET DOORS.
