| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: SANTIAGO, JUAN 0437 (AR13-4125) DID FAIL TO COMPLY WITH SEX OFFENDER REGISTRATION LAW, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE, 943.0435(9)(A). ON 011413, I WAS ADVISED BY SERGEANT KANTER THAT SEXUAL OFFENDER, MR JOSHUA DAVID WILKINSON, REGISTERED A PERMANENT ADDRESS OF 581 EAST WINNETKA STREET IN HERNANDO ON 010813. HOWEVER, A CHECK ON 011113 BY DEPUTY AMSLER REVEALED THAT DEFENDANT WILKINSON WAS NOT RESIDING AT THAT RESIDENCE. I THEN RESPONDED TO DIAMOND RIDGE REHAB AND MADE CONTACT WITH MS MARIE SANTORO WHERE A SWORN DIGITALLY RECORDED STATEMENT WAS CONDUCTED. I QUESTIONED MS SANTORO ABOUT THE LETTER SHE ALLEGEDLY WROTE TO THE DIVISION OF HIGHWAY SAFETY AND MOTOR VEHICLE ATTESTING TO THE FACT THAT MR WILKINSON WAS RESIDING AT 581 EAST WINNETKA STREET IN HERNANDO. MS SANTORO STATED THAT HER GRAND DAUGHTER, MS TRACY CONTI, WROTE THE LETTER FOR HER, HOWEVER, SHE SIGNED IT. MS SANTORO THEN WENT ON TO STATE THAT MR WILKINSON WAS STAYING AT HER RESIDENCE BUT, HE SPENDS MOST OF HIS TIME AT 2061 WEST HOWARD PLACE. PLEASE REFER TO AUDIO RECORDED INTERVIEW FOR FURTHER. ON 011413, I RESPONDED TO 581 EAST WINNETKA STREET AND MADE CONTACT WITH MR THOMAS SANTORO, WHERE A DIGITALLY RECORDED INTERVIEW WAS THEN CONDUCTED. MR SANTORO WENT ON TO STATE THAT MR JOSHUA WILKINSON DOES NOT RESIDE AT HIS RESIDENCE, NOR DOES HE HAVE ANY PERSONAL BELONGINGS AT HIS RESIDENCE. MR SANTORO STATED THAT JOSHUA WILKINSON ONLY STAYED ONE NIGHT ON WEDNESDAY, 010913, AND HE HAS NOT SEEN HIM SINCE. PLEASE REFER TO AUDIO RECORDED INTERVIEW FOR FURTHER. I THEN RESPONDED TO 2061 WEST HOWARD PLACE IN CITRUS SPRINGS AND MADE CONTACT WITH MR WILKINSONâS GIRLFRIEND, MS TRACY CONTI. AT THAT TIME A SWORN DIGITALLY RECORDED INTERVIEW WAS CONDUCTED. MS CONTI WENT ON TO STATE THAT MR WILKINSON HAS BEEN STAYING AT HER RESIDENCE SINCE 010813, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ONE NIGHT THAT HE STAYED AT 581 EAST WINNETKA STREET IN HERNANDO. PLEASE REFER TO AUDIO RECORDED INTERVIEW FOR FURTHER. CONTACT WAS THEN MADE WITH MR JOSHUA WILKINSON, AT WHICH TIME HE WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY BY DEPUTY LABORDA. I THEN RESPONDED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY AND MADE CONTACT WITH MR JOSHUA WILKINSON, WHERE A SWORN DIGITALLY RECORDED STATEMENT WAS CONDUCTED. PRIOR TO MY INTERVIEW, MR WILKINSON WAS READ HIS MIRANDA RIGHTS VIA PRE-PRINTED AGENCY CARD AND STATED HE UNDERSTOOD. I EXPLAINED TO MR WILKINSON THAT HE REGISTERED AN ADDRESS OF 581 EAST WINNETKA STREET IN HERNANDO; HOWEVER, HE HAS NOT BEEN LIVING THERE, AND WAS RESIDING AT 2061 WEST HOWARD PLACE IN CITRUS SPRINGS. HE THEN STATED THAT WAS CORRECT. I EXPLAINED TO MR WILKINSON THAT HE HAD FAILED TO ADVISE US OF HIS CHANGE OF ADDRESS WITHIN 48 HOURS. I FURTHER EXPLAINED TO MR WILKINSON THAT HE HAD NO INTENTION OF LIVING AT 581 EAST WINNETKA STREET IN HERNANDO, AND THE ONLY REASON HE REGISTERED THE ADDRESS WAS BECAUSE HE WAS PREVIOUSLY ADVISED BY ANALYST COOK THAT HE COULD NOT RESIDE AT 2061 WEST HOWARD PLACE IN CITRUS SPRINGS, WHERE HE STATED THAT WAS CORRECT. MR WILKINSON WENT ON TO STATE THAT HE HAS BEEN LIVING AT 2061 WEST HOWARD PLACE IN CITRUS SPRINGS SINCE 010813. I ASKED MR WILKINSON IF HE SIGNED AND UNDERSTOOD THE CONTRACT OUTLINING HIS RESPONSIBILITIES AS A REGISTERED SEXUAL OFFENDER, TO WHICH HE STATED âYESâ. ONCE THE INTERVIEW WAS COMPLETED, MR WILKINSON STATED OFF TAPE THAT HE WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP HIS GIRLFRIEND AND JUST GOT âLAZYâ AND DID NOT STAY AT THE REGISTERED ADDRESS. THE DEFENDANTâS BOND WAS SET AT $20,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
