UNLAWFULLY ENDANGER THE SAFETY OF ANOTHER OR THEIR PROPERTY WHILE INTOXICATED OR DID WHILE INTOXICATED OR DRINKING AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE (VANILLA EXTRACT WITH A 40 PER CENT ALCOHOL CONTENT) IN A PUBLIC PLACE CAUSE A PUBLIC DISTURBANCE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE NUMBER, 856.011. ON 080715, I RESPONDED TO 709 EMERY STREET IN INVERNESS, IN REFERENCE TO A REPORTED TRESPASS. UPON ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH A MALE SUBJECT IN THE FRONT YARD OF THE INCIDENT LOCATION. THE SUBJECT WAS LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT, MR JOHN BRADSHAW. UPON MAKING CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT, I SMELLED THE STRONG ODOR OF ALCOHOL EMITTING FROM HIS BREATH, AND OBSERVED HIM TO BE UNSTEADY ON HIS FEET AND SLURRING HIS WORDS. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT WHAT HE WAS DOING THERE, TO WHICH HE STATED HE OWNED THE PROPERTY AND WAS CHECKING ON IT. HE FURTHER STATED THAT HE WAS NOT SURE WHY THE VICTIM WAS ASKING HIM TO LEAVE. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM, WHO ADVISED ME THAT AS SHE WAS WORKING IN HER GARDEN THE DEFENDANT DROPPED HIS BICYCLE IN HER FRONT YARD AND APPROACHED HER. THE VICTIM ADVISED THAT THE DEFENDANT THEN SAT ON A CHAIR ON HER FRONT PORCH IN SUCH A WAY THAT SHE COULD NOT GET OFF OF THE PORCH. THE VICTIM STATED THAT SHE FELT CORNERED AND WAS SCARED. SHE ADVISED THAT SHE TOLD THE DEFENDANT TO BACK UP AND TO LEAVE THE PROPERTY, AT WHICH TIME THE DEFENDANT REACHED FOR HER. AT THAT TIME, THE VICTIM JUMPED UP AND BEGAN YELLING AT THE DEFENDANT TO BACK UP AND THE DEFENDANT TOOK APPROXIMATELY TWO STEPS BACKWARDS. THE VICTIM STATED THAT THE DEFENDANT CONTINUED COMING TOWARDS HER, AT WHICH TIME SHE CONTINUED TO TELL HIM TO STOP AND LEAVE THE PROPERTY. THE VICTIM STATED HER MOTHER THEN CAME OUTSIDE, AT WHICH TIME THE DEFENDANT WALKED OUT TO THE FRONT YARD BUT STILL WOULD NOT LEAVE THE PROPERTY. THE VICTIM STATED THAT SHE ADVISED THE DEFENDANT APPROXIMATELY 25 TIMES TO LEAVE THE PROPERTY. SHE STATED SHE HAS SEEN THE DEFENDANT IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT HAS NEVER INVITED HIM INTO HER RESIDENCE. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT AND READ HIM MIRANDA RIGHTS VIA A PRE- PRINTED AGENCY CARD. THE DEFENDANT STATED HE UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED TO SPEAK WITH ME. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED THAT HE HAD BEEN DRINKING VANILLA EXTRACT (CONTAINING A 41 PERCENT ALCOHOL CONTENT). HE AGAIN ADVISED THAT HE OWNS THE PROPERTY AND WAS CHECKING ON IT, AND WAS NOT SURE WHY THE VICTIM KEPT TELLING HIM TO LEAVE. I CHECKED THE PROPERTY APPRAISERS SITE, WHERE I WAS ABLE TO CONFIRM THE DEFENDANT DID NOT OWN THE LISTED PROPERTY. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR ONE COUNT OF TRESPASS OF AN UNOCCUPIED STRUCTURE AND ONE COUNT OF DISORDERLY INTOXICATION. THE DEFENDANT WAS HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK AND SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE FOR TRANSPORT TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. UPON ARRIVAL, THE DEFENDANT WAS TURNED OVER TO DETENTION STAFF FOR PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANTâS BOND FOR THE CHARGE OF TRESPASS ON AN UNOCCUPIED STRUCTURE WAS SET AT $1,000.00 AND HIS BOND FOR THE CHARGE OF DISORDERLY INTOXICATION WAS SET AT $500.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
