ON 101614 AT APPROXIMATELY 2100 HOURS I WAS DISPATCHED TO 4269 SOUTH SLASH PINE HOMOSASSA IN REFERENCE TO A PHYSICAL DISTURBANCE. UPON ARRIVAL I MADE CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM, MR MICHAEL WHITE, WHO WAS IN THE FRONT YARD OF THE RESIDENCE.

HE ADVISED THE SUSPECT BEGAN PUSHING FENCE BETWEEN THEM AT WHICH TIME HE PULLED OUT A SMALL KNIFE AND BEGAN POKING AND JABBING IT IN THE VICTIM'S DIRECTION. AT ONE POINT THE KNIFE PENETRATED THROUGH THE SHIRT AND INTO HIS CHEST. THE VICTIM ADVISED AT THIS TIME THEY WERE SEPARATED BY MULTIPLE INDIVIDUALS. I ASKED THE VICTIM IF HE NEEDED EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES TO WHICH HE REFUSED. I DID OBSERVE A SMALL LACERATION TO HIS CENTER CHEST. THIS DEPUTY PHOTOGRAPHED THE INJURIES, SEE CRIME SCENE TECHNICIAN REPORT. I MADE CONTACT WITH WITNESS ONE, MS KANDACE LUBKE, AND ASKED WHAT HAD HAPPENED. SHE ADVISED SHE WAS NEXT DOOR WITH THE VICTIM, WITNESS TWO, MR CASEY LUBKE, AND THE SUSPECT. MS LUBKE ADVISED THE SUSPECT UNZIPPED HER TENT AND WHEN SHE LOOKED OUTSIDE SAW THE SUSPECT ''DO IT'' AND THEN HE LEFT THE VICTIM'S YARD. SHE STATED SHE ASKED THE VICTIM AND MR LUBKE TO FOLLOW HER BACK TO HER RESIDENCE. VICTIM ONE ADVISED THAT THE SUSPECT AND VICTIM BEGAN A VERBAL CONFLICT AND THE SUSPECT CAME AT THE VICTIM. SHE ADVISED THE SUSPECT WAS KICKING THE FENCE BACK AND FORTH AND SHE ADVISED SHE THEN SAW THE SUSPECT PULL OUT HIS KNIFE AND BEGAN JABBING IT AT THE VICTIM. SHE STATED AT ONE POINT SHE OBSERVED THE KNIFE TO TOUCH THE VICTIM'S BODY AND CUT HIS SHIRT. SHE STATED SHE AND THE OTHER TWO WITNESSES THEN BROKE UP THE FIGHT AND CONTACTED THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE. MS LUBKE STATED AT THAT TIME THE SUSPECT HAD TAKEN OFF IN TO THE WOODS BEHIND THE RESIDENCE. I MADE CONTACT WITH MR LUBKE AND WITNESS THREE, MR ERIC SIMMS, WHO PROVIDED CORROBORATING STATEMENTS. I THEN REQUESTED CANINE DEPUTY HRYC DUE TO THE SUSPECT FLEEING IN TO THE WOODS. UPON ARRIVAL ON SCENE I ADVISED DEPUTY HRYC I HAD PROBABLE CAUSE FOR AGGRAVATED BATTERY WITH A DEADLY WEAPON. DEPUTY HRYC THEN DEPLOYED HIS CANINE ZEUS AT THE REAR OF THE RESIDENCE NEAR THE WOODED AREA WHERE THE SUSPECT HAD TAKEN OFF. CANINE ZEUS LOCATED THE SUSPECT WHO WAS THEN TAKEN INTO CUSTODY, SEE DEPUTY HRYC'S SUPPLEMENT. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK SEARCHED AND PLACED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. I READ THE DEFENDANT MIRANDA RIGHTS VIA PREPRINTED AGENCY CARD AND ASKED IF HE UNDERSTOOD HIS RIGHTS, TO WHICH HE REPLIED THAT HE DID. I THEN ASKED HIM IF HE WISHED TO SPEAK WITH ME AT THIS TIME, TO WHICH HE ADVISED THAT HE WOULD. I OBSERVED THE SUSPECT TO HAVE SLURRED SPEECH, GLASSY EYES, WAS UNSTABLE ON HIS FEET, AND HAD AN ODOR OF AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE EMITTING FROM HIS PERSON. UPON ASKING THE DEFENDANT WHAT HAD OCCURRED HE STATED HE AND THE VICTIM WERE INVOLVED IN A VERBAL DISTURBANCE AND NOTHING PHYSICAL HAPPENED, IT WAS ONLY VERBAL.
