ON 071312 I WAS DISPATCHED TO THE AREA OF KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN (KFC) IN INVERNESS, IN REFERENCE TOA WHITE MALE WEARING ALL WHITE, INTOXICATED, STUMBLING IN THE ROADWAY. OFF DEPUTY HOLLOWAY (0463) ADVISED THAT THE DEFENDANT STUMBLED INTO THE ROADWAY, AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES (EMS) HAD TO SWERVE TO MISS HIM. THIS DEPUTY THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT, KNOWN TO ME AS MR GEORGE EDWARD DREWRY, AT WITHLACOOCHEE TECHNICAL INSTITUTE (WTI), ON MAIN STREET. THE DEFENDANT’S SPEECH WAS SLURRED, AND I DID DETECT AN ORDER OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE TO BE EMANATING FROM HIS PERSON. I REMINDED THE DEFENDANT, THAT ON 070912, I HAD ADVISED HIM THAT HE SHOULD NOT WALK DOWN THE ROADWAYS WHILE INTOXICATED. I HAD TOLD HIM SO BECAUSE, ON THAT DATE, WITHIN A TWENTY FOOT PERIOD, I HAD OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT TO COME CLOSE TO FALLING FOUR TIMES, WHILE HE STAGGERED THIS TWENTY FOOT DISTANCE. THIS DEPUTY DID BELIEVE THE DEFENDANT TO BE INTOXICATED ON THAT DATE. UPON ASKING DEPUTY HOLLOWAY IF HE HAD SEEN THE DEFENDANT IN THE ROADWAY, HE BEGAN TO ANSWER YES; HOWEVER THE DEFENDANT INTERRUPTED DEPUTY HOLLOWAY, AND SAID, “YES, I WAS.” THE DEFENDANT TOLD THIS DEPUTY THAT DEPUTIES HAD NOTHING BETTER TO DO THAN TO STOP HIM WHILE HE WALKED DOWN THE ROAD WITH HIS COFFEE. AT THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT WAS ADVISED THAT HE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARRESTED FOR DISORDERLY INTOXICATION. HE WAS HANDCUFFED, DOUBLE LOCKED BEHIND HI S BACK, AND SECURE DIN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE WHILE EN ROUTE TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY, THE DEFENDANT LAUGHED ABOUT BEING ARRESTED, STATING THAT HE WOULD STAY IN THE DETENTION FACILITY FOR THIRTY DAYS, AND WOULD LAUGH ABOUT IT. UPON OUR ARRIVAL AT THE DETENTION FACILITY, THE DEFENDANT WAS RELEASED TO STAFF FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING THE DEFENDANT’S BOND WAS SET AT $150.00, PER THE SCHEDULE. |
