ON 081409 AT 0352 HOURS, I RESPONDED TO 1208 NORTHEAST 5TH STREET, IN CRYSTAL RIVER, IN REFERENCE TO A BURGLARY THAT HAD ALREADY occurred. UPON ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE COMPLAINANT WHO ADVISED THAT AN UNKNOWN WHITE MALE HAD ENTERED HIS WIFE'S VEHICLE AND THAT HE DID OBSERVE THE DEFENDANT IN THE VEHICLE AND FLEE FROM THE SCENE. THE COMPLAINANT PROVIDED A DESCRIPTION OF THE DEFENDANT AS A WHITE MALE APPROXIMATELY SIX FOOT TWO INCHES, WEARING A WHITE JERSEY WITH GOLD writing AND BLUE JEAN SHORTS. WHILE SPEAKING WITH THE COMPLAINANT AND THE VICTIM, I WAS ADVISED BY K-9 DEPUTY TACKETT THAT HE HAD MADE CONTACT WITH A SUBJECT MATCHING THE COMPLAINANT DESCRIPTION. I SPOKE WITH THE VICTIM WHO ADVISED THAT SHE WAS MISSING $140.00 FROM HER PURSE AND THAT HER CELLULAR TELEPHONE WAS MISSING. THE COMPLAINANT ACCOMPANIED ME TO THE AREA OF US HIGHWAY 44 AND PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE WHERE DEPUTY TACKETT WAS WITH THE DEFENDANT, LATER IDENTIFIED AS MR GEORGE ENOCH MOON. THE COMPLAINANT POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED THE DEFENDANT AS THE PERSON HE HAD OBSERVED INSIDE OF HIS WIFE'S VEHICLE. DEPUTY TACKETT ADVISED THAT WHEN HE MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT HE OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT DROP A CREDIT CARD on the GROUND. THE VICTIM'S NAME WAS ON THE CREDIT CARD. I THEN RETURNED WITH THE COMPLAINANT TO THE SCENE TO CONTINUE MY INVESTIGATION. WHILE CONDUCTING MY INVESTIGATION I HAD THE COMPLAINANT CALL THE VICTIM'S CELLULAR TELEPHONE NUMBER. AT WHICH TIME, I WAS ADVISED BY DEPUTY RICCI THAT HE LOCATED THE VICTIM'S CELLULAR TELEPHONE IN A WOODED AREA NEXT TO WHERE THE DEFENDANT WAS LOCATED. THE VICTIM CONFIRMED THAT SHE WAS MISSING A WAL-MART VISA DEBIT CARD FROM HER WALLET THAT HAD BEEN INSIDE THE VEHICLE. WE CONDUCTED A FURTHER SEARCH OF THE AREA; HOWEVER, WE COULD NOT LOCATE THE STOLEN CURRENCY. I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT OF HIS MIRANDA RIGHTS FROM A PREPARED CARD. AT WHICH TIME, the DEFENDANT STATED that HE DID NOT WANT TO ANSWER MY QUESTIONS. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR BURGLARY TO A CONVEYANCE AND PETTIT THEFT. HE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN HANDCUFFED BEHIND HIS BACK (DOUBLE LOCKED) AND THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED to the CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY BY DEPUTY HORTON. THE CELLULAR TELEPHONE AND CREDIT CARD WERE RETURNED TO THE VICTIM AND A PROPERTY RECEIPT COMPLETED. THE COMPLAINANT PROVIDED A SWORN WRITTEN STATEMENT, WHICH WAS LATER TURNED IN TO RECORDS. I CONDUCTED A CRIMINAL HISTORY CHECK on the DEFENDANT WHICH REVEALED THAT HE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN CONVICTED OF THEFT ON 070307. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $3,500.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
