| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: REESE, KELLIE 0640 (AR09107424) DID UNLAWFULLY, WILLFULLY AND MALICIOUSLY INJURE OR DAMAGE CERTAIN PROPERTY OF THE VICTIM, TO-WIT: A 2008 JEEP, SAID DAMAGE BEING OF A VALUE OF $1,000.00 OR MORE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATUTE 806.13(1)(B)(3). ON 012909 I WAS DISPATCHED TO 9340 PUTTER COURT, IN CRYSTAL RIVER, IN REFERENCE TO A DISTURBANCE. WHILE EN ROUTE, DISPATCH ADVISED THAT THE VICTIM STATED THE DEFENDANT WAS INTOXICATED AND THROWING CHAIRS AND TRASHING THE PLACE. DEPUTY PAYNE AND DEPUTY REEVES RESPONDED AS BACK UP. UPON ARRIVAL, CONTACT WAS MADE WITH THE DEFENDANT WHO WAS INTOXICATED AND BLEEDING SLIGHTLY FROM THE RIGHT SIDE OF HIS MOUTH. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED THIS WAS HIS RESIDENCE AND HE DID NOT WANT THE VICTIM AT HIS HOUSE. DEPUTY REEVES SECURED THE DEFENDANT IN HANDCUFFS (DOUBLE-LOCKED) FOR SAFETY REASONS, AND HE WAS ADVISED THAT HE WAS NOT UNDER ARREST AT THIS TIME. INSIDE THE RESIDENCE WE OBSERVED SEVERAL BROKEN CHAIRS AND KNOCKED OVER FURNITURE, ALL OBVIOUS SIGNS OF AN ALTERCATION. DEPUTY PAYNE AND I CONDUCTED A CURSORY SEARCH OF THE RESIDENCE AND WERE UNABLE TO LOCATE ANY OTHER PERSON. AT OUR REQUEST DISPATCH CALLED THE COMPLAINANT AND REQUESTED THAT SHE RETURN TO THE RESIDENCE. WHEN THE VICTIM ARRIVED ON SCENE, SHE ADVISED THAT SHE, ALONG WITH THE DEFENDANT'S WIFE, AND ANOTHER SUBJECT, HAD ALL BEEN OUT ON A BOAT. WHEN THEY RETURNED TO THE RESIDENCE THEY CAME INSIDE THE KITCHEN AREA AND FOUND THE DEFENDANT LYING ON THE KITCHEN FLOOR. THE VICTIM STATED THAT THE DEFENDANT GOT UP AND BEGAN SCREAMING OBSCENITIES AT HER REGARDING HER PERSONAL LIFE. SHE STATED THAT THE DEFENDANT BEGAN THROWING FURNITURE AROUND THE RESIDENCE. AT THAT TIME THE VICTIM STATED THAT SHE, THE DEFENDANT'S WIFE, AND THE OTHER SUBJECT, ALL RAN OUT OF THE RESIDENCE AND GOT INTO HER VEHICLE. AT THAT TIME THE DEFENDANT CHASED THEM OUTSIDE AND THREW A CHAIR AT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VICTIM'S 2008 JEEP. THE VICTIM STATED THAT SHE AND THE OCCUPANTS OF HER VEHICLE THEN FLED TO A NEARBY FRIEND'S RESIDENCE. I EXAMINED THE VICTIM'S JEEP AND OBSERVED TWO DENTS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND A DENT ON THE HOOD. THERE WAS ALSO SLIGHT PAINT TRANSFER ALL CONSISTENT WITH THE JEEP BEING STRUCK WITH A BROKEN CHAIR THAT WAS LYING ON THE GROUND. THE VICTIM STATED THAT SHE WISHED TO PRESS CHARGES AGAINST THE DEFENDANT AND A SWORN WRITTEN STATEMENT WAS OBTAINED FROM HER AT THAT TIME. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE VICTIM'S VEHICLE IS BRAND NEW WITH LESS THAN A 1000 MILES ON IT, AND THE DAMAGE IS ESTIMATED AT OVER A $1,0000.00. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT'S WIFE VIA TELEPHONE TO ENSURE THAT SHE WAS NOT INJURED. THE DEFENDANT'S WIFE ADVISED THAT SHE WAS NOT, AND THAT THE DEFENDANT DID NOT BATTER HER. THE DEFENDANT WAS ADVISED THAT HE WAS UNDER ARREST FOR FELONY CRIMINAL MISCHIEF AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE DETENTION FACILITY, DISPATCH ADVISED ME THAT THE VICTIM WAS REQUESTING THAT I CALL HER. UPON MAKING CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM, SHE ADVISED ME THAT SHE WOULD NOW LIKE TO DROP THE CHARGES AGAINST THE DEFENDANT, BECAUSE HE IS THE HUSBAND OF HER BEST FRIEND. I ADVISED HER THAT I COULD NOT UN-ARREST THE DEFENDANT, HOWEVER, I WOULD RELEASE HIM ON HIS OWN RECOGNIZANCE (ROR) AND ADVISED HER THAT SHE WOULD NEED TO CONTACT THE STATE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE IN THE MORNING TO EXPRESS HER WISHES TO DROP THE CHARGES. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
