| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: ROWLAND, GORDON 0646 (AR08103306) UNLAWFULLY ENDANGER THE SAFETY OF ANOTHER OR THEIR PROPERTY WHILE INTOXICATED OR DID WHILE INTOXICATED OR DRINKING AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE IN A PUBLIC PLACE CAUSE A PUBLIC DISTURBANCE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE NUMBER 856.011. ON 051908, AT APPROXIMATELY 2257 HOURS, WHILE PATROLLING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT OF THE COMFORT INN HOTEL, LOCATED AT 4486 NORTH SUNCOAST BOULEVARD, CRYSTAL RIVER, I WAS ADVISED BY THE NIGHT CLERK, MR SCHUYLER COLE THAT THERE WAS SOME TYPE OF DISTURBANCE GOING ON IN ROOM 129. HE ADVISED THAT A FEMALE CALLER HAD RUNG THE FRONT DESK ASKING THEM TO CALL 911. THE NIGHT CLERK ADVISED THE FEMALE SOUNDED INTOXICATED. HE ASKED WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS BUT SHE JUST BEGAN CURSING AT HIM AND HUNG UP THE TELEPHONE. I THEN PROCEEDED TO ROOM 129 ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE HOTEL. I MADE CONTACT WITH A WHITE FEMALE WITNESS. SHE WAS EXTREMELY INTOXICATED AND VERY HARD TO UNDERSTAND, BUT SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE WAS IN A VERBAL ALTERCATION WITH ANOTHER FEMALE IN ROOM 129. WHILE I STOOD BY WITH HER, OTHER OFFICERS ARRIVED FOR BACK UP, AND WHILE THE OFFICERS STOOD BY WITH THE WITNESS, I WENT TO ROOM 129 WITH THE FRONT DESK MANAGER. HE ADVISED THAT HE WANTED THE MALE AND FEMALE THAT WERE IN THAT ROOM TO LEAVE. THE FEMALE WAS NOT A REGISTERED GUEST. SHE WAS A GUEST OF THE MALE WHO RENTED THE ROOM. HOWEVER, SHE REFUSED TO LEAVE. I ASKED THIS FEMALE TO PLEASE LEAVE AT THE REQUEST OF THE HOTEL MANAGEMENT. SHE BEGAN TO CUSS AT ME, "GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE." I ASKED HER WHAT HER NAME WAS AND SHE SAID " OF YOUR BUSINESS." I EXPLAINED TO HER ONCE THAT SHE WAS NOT A REGISTERED GUEST AND SHE WAS NOT WELCOME AND THAT SHE NEEDED TO LEAVE. AGAIN SHE STATED TO ME, "FUCK YOU. I'M ON THE PHONE." AT THAT TIME SHE PICKED UP THE TELEPHONE RECEIVER AND PUT IT TO HER EAR. I WALKED INTO THE ROOM. I TOLD HER THAT SHE WAS GOING TO HAVE TO LEAVE RIGHT NOW OR SHE WAS GOING TO BE PLACED UNDER ARREST. AGAIN SHE TOLD ME TO "GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE ROOM AND LEAVE ME ALONE", THAT SHE WASN'T GOING ANYWHERE. I THEN TOOK THE TELEPHONE RECEIVER FROM HER HAND. SHE GRABBED IT BACK FROM ME OUT OF MY HAND. I ASKED HER TO LEAVE AGAIN, AND SHE BEGAN YELLING AND SCREAMING AND CUSSING. AT THAT POINT, I TOLD HER SHE WAS UNDER ARREST FOR DISORDERLY INTOXICATION BECAUSE SHE WAS EXTREMELY INTOXICATED. THE HOTEL MANAGER WAS STANDING OUTSIDE THE DOOR. OTHER GUESTS BEGAN TO GATHER OUTSIDE OF THEIR ROOMS, LISTENING TO THE DISTURBANCE. IT TOLD THE DEFENDANT TO STAND UP, THAT I WAS PLACING HER UNDER ARREST. SHE REFUSED TO STAND UP. AT THAT POINT I TOOK THE TELEPHONE RECEIVER FROM HER HAND AGAIN, PUSHED HER FACE-DOWN ON THE BED, AND PULLED HER HANDS BEHIND HER BACK. SHE BEGAN TO RESIST, CURSING AND SCREAMING THE WHOLE TIME. I PLACED HANDCUFFS ON HER, DOUBLE LOCKED, AND I TOOK HER FROM THE ROOM. THE WHOLE TIME SHE WAS WIGGLING AND MOVING AND TRYING TO GET AWAY FROM ME AND STILL CURSING. I PLACED THE DEFENDANT IN THE BACK SEAT OF MY PATROL CAR. SHE BEGAN HITTING THE DOOR WITH HER LEFT SHOULDER. SHE HIT THE WINDOW A FEW TIMES WITH HER HEAD. THE WHOLE TIME SHE WAS SCREAMING AND CURSING. I TRANSPORTED THE DEFENDANT TO THE COUNTY JAIL FOR BOOKING. ON THE WAY I ASKED HER HER NAME. SHE TOLD ME " OF FUCKING BUSINESS." I SAID, FINE, WE'LL FIND OUT WHEN WE GET TO THE JAIL. I HAD A BAG WITH SOME OF HER PERSONAL BELONGINGS THAT HAD BEEN IN THE ROOM. IT THOUGHT MAYBE I'D FIND SOME IDENTIFICATION AMONG HER PERSONAL EFFECTS. BUT WAS LOCATED. JAIL STAFF EVEN REQUESTED THE DEFENDANT'S NAME, AND AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, SHE GAVE A NAME OF GAIL RALPHFUCK. NOT BELIEVING THAT THIS WAS HER NAME, I RAN THE NAME GAIL RALPH AND OBTAINED A DRIVER'S LICENSE NUMBER AND I REQUESTED A DRIVER'S LICENSE PHOTO TO VERIFY. AFTER RECEIVING THE DRIVER'S LICENSE PHOTO, I AND JAIL STAFF DETERMINED IT WAS IN FACT MS GAIL RALPH. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN BOOKED UNDER THE NAME OF GAIL RALPH AND TURNED OVER TO JAIL STAFF. NOTHING FURTHER *NOT-EXEMPT* |
