ON 090307 AT APPROXIMATELY 2359 HOURS, I WAS DISPATCHED TO TWO GUYS FROM ITALY BAR LOCATED AT 5792 SOUTH SUNCOAST BOULEVARD, HOMOSASSA IN REFERENCE TO A DISTURBANCE. UPON ARRIVAL, CONTACT WAS MADE WITH THE MANAGER, WHO ADVISED THAT THE DEFENDANT WAS VERY INTOXICATED AND OUT OF CONTROL. HE ADVISED THAT THE DEFENDANT HAD ATTEMPTED TO START SEVERAL FIGHTS WITH INDIVIDUALS IN THE BAR AND THAT HE HAD ASKED HER TO LEAVE SEVERAL TIMES. THE MANAGER STATED THAT THE DEFENDANT BECAME PHYSICAL WITH HIM AND SCRATCHED HIM ON THE ARM, TO WHICH HE HAD TO RESTRAIN HER TO KEEP HER FROM FIGHTING WITH HIM. THE MANAGER SIMPLY STATED THAT HE WANTED THE DEFENDANT REMOVE FROM THE PREMISES, AT WHICH TIME, I WALKED TO THE FRONT OF THE BAR WHERE THE DEFENDANT WAS LOCATED. THIS DEPUTY OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT TO BE IN THE FETAL POSITION ON THE GROUND. I THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT TO STAND UP AND GRABBED HER BY HER RIGHT ARM IN AN ATTEMPT TO HELP HER TO HER FEET, AT WHICH TIME, SHE SWUNG STRIKING THIS DEPUTY IN THE LEFT SIDE TWICE. I THEN ESCORTED THE DEFENDANT BACK TO THE GROUND WHERE SHE IMMEDIATELY TUCKED HER ARMS UNDERNEATH HER BODY. I ATTEMPTED TO PULL THE DEFENDANT'S ARMS FROM UNDERNEATH HER. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT SEVERAL TIMES TO PLACE HER HANDS BEHIND HER BACK, TO WHICH SHE FAILED TO COMPLY. AT THAT TIME, DEPUTY DOYLE ARRIVED ON SCENE, UN-HOLSTERED HIS AGENCY ISSUED TASER AND ADVISED THAT THE DEFENDANT THAT IF SHE DID NOT PUT HER HANDS BEHIND HER BACK SHE WOULD BE TASED. THE DEFENDANT FAILED TO COMPLY. DEPUTY DOYLE AGAIN ADVISED THE DEFENDANT TO PUT HER HANDS BEHIND HER BACK, TO WHICH SHE AGAIN FAILED TO COMPLY. DEPUTY DOYLE THEN TOUCHED TASED THE DEFENDANT IN THE ARE OF HER SHOULDER WHICH MET WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. DEPUTY DOYLE ADVISED THE DEFENDANT SEVERAL MORE TIMES THAT SHE WOULD BE TASED IF SHE DID NOT PUT HER HANDS BEHIND HER BACK. THE DEFENDANT FAILED TO COMPLY, TO WHICH DEPUTY DOYLE AGAIN TOUCHED TASED HER ON THE LEFT ARM. AT THAT TIME, I WAS ABLE TO PLACE THE DEFENDANT'S HANDS BEHIND HER BACK AND PLACE HAND RESTRAINTS ON HER. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO MY PATROL VEHICLE, SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE DETENTION FACILITY THE DEFENDANT REFUSED TO COOPERATE AND EXIT MY PATROL VEHICLE, HOWEVER AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES SHE DID COMPLY. THIS DEPUTY THEN GRABBED THE DEFENDANT BY HER LEFT ARM TO ESCORT TO THE DOOR TO GO INSIDE THE BOOKING OFFICE, AT WHICH TIME, SHE SNATCHED AWAY. I THEN ESCORTED THE DEFENDANT TO THE GROUND AND RESTRAINED HER UNTIL DETENTION FACILITY STAFF COULD ASSIST ME WITH TAKING HER INSIDE. THE DEFENDANT'S WAS CHARGED WITH ONE COUNT OF BATTERY ON LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, ONE COUNT OF RESISTING AN OFFICER WITHOUT VIOLENCE AND ONE COUNT OF SIMPLE BATTERY. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $6,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
