| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: RUBY, SAMUEL 0562 (AR08101199) UNLAWFULLY ENDANGER THE SAFETY OF ANOTHER OR THEIR PROPERTY WHILE INTOXICATED OR DID WHILE INTOXICATED OR DRINKING AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE IN A PUBLIC PLACE CAUSE A PUBLIC DISTURBANCE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE NUMBER 856.011. ON 011208 AT APPROXIMATELY 0200 HOURS, I WAS DISPATCHED TO APPLEBEE'S LOCATED IN CRYSTAL RIVER, IN REFERENCE TO A POSSIBLE DRUNK DRIVER DRIVING IN CIRCLES AROUND THE PARKING LOT OF APPLEBEE'S. UPON ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH TWO PATRONS IN THE PARKING LOT WHO ADVISED THE VEHICLE LEFT TOWARDS THE AREA OF HOME DEPOT. WHILE IN THE PARKING LOT THE MANAGER CAME OUT AND STATED THAT THERE WAS A GENTLEMAN ON THE SOUTHSIDE OF THE BUSINESS WHO WAS EXTREMELY INTOXICATED AND WAS STAGGERING ALONGSIDE OF THE BUSINESS. I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT, MR JOE HITZ, AND ASKED HIM WHAT HIS NAME WAS, TO WHICH HE ADVISED ME TO, GET OUT OF HIS FACE. I THEN ASKED FOR HIS IDENTIFICATION, AND HE STATED NOT TO TRY THAT WITH HIM. AFTER SEVERAL TIMES OF ASKING FOR HIS IDENTIFICATION THE DEFENDANT SUPPLIED ME WITH A BUSINESS CARD FROM HIS WALLET. I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT THAT THIS WAS NOT HIS IDENTIFICATION AND AGAIN HE STATED "DON'T TRY THAT WITH ME". I SHOWED THE DEFENDANT SEVERAL TIMES THAT IT WS A BUSINESS CARD, NOT IDENTIFICATION. FINALLY THE DEFENDANT WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE ME WITH HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE. THE DEFENDANT WAS ON THE TELEPHONE AT THE TIME I MADE CONTACT WITH HIM, AND I ASKED WHO HE WAS TALKING ON THE TELEPHONE TO AND IF HE WAS TRYING TO GET A RIDE FROM THE AREA. THE DEFENDANT THEN STATED TO ME THAT HE DID NOT HAVE TO TELL ME "SHIT" AND THAT IF I HAD ANY QUESTIONS TO TALK TO HIS LAWYER. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT SEVERAL TIME IF HE WAS ABLE TO GET A RIDE, AND HE STATED THAT HIS GIRLFRIEND MARY WAS ON HER WAY THAT SHE WAS TWO MILES AWAY. DEPUTY PAUL THEN ARRIVED ON SCENE AND ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE HAD A RIDE, TO WHICH HE REPLIED, DON'T TRY THAT WITH HIM, THAT HIS RIDE WAS FIVE MINUTES AWAY AND HE LIVED APPROXIMATELY FIVE MILES FROM APPLEBEE'S . WE ASKED THE DEFENDANT WHERE HE WAS, AND HE STATED IN INVERNESS. WE ADVISED THE DEFENDANT THAT HE WAS AT THE CRYSTAL RIVER APPLEBEE'S, AND AGAIN HE STATED NOT TO TRY THAT WITH HIM. THE DEFENDANT WAS UNABLE TO GIVE US ANY INFORMATION AS TO HOW HE GOT THERE OR HOW HE WILL GET HOME. AT ONE POINT HE MADE CONTACT WITH HIS GIRL FRIEND MARY AND I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE WANTED ME TO TALK WITH HER AND HE HANDED ME THE TELEPHONE. I MADE CONTACT WITH MARY AND ASKED HER IF SHE WAS ABLE TO COME AND PICK UP THE DEFENDANT, AND SHE STATED THAT HE HAD THEIR VEHICLE AND SHE DID NOT KNOW WHERE IT IS. I ADVISED HER THAT WE CANNOT LEAVE THE DEFENDANT AT THIS LOCATION, BECAUSE OF ITS LOCATION WE DID NOT WANT THE DEFENDANT TO WANDER INTO TRAFFIC GIVEN THE LEVEL OF HIS INTOXICATION. AT THIS POINT DEPUTY PAUL AND I HAD ASKED THE DEFENDANT SEVERAL QUESTIONS IN WHICH HE WAS UNABLE TO ANSWER. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST AND HANDCUFFED. WHILE I CONDUCTED MY SEARCH THE DEFENDANT WAS VERY UNCOOPERATIVE AND ATTEMPTED TO PULL AWAY. UPON COMPLETING THE SEARCH THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $150.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
