WHILE EN ROUTE I WAS ADVISED BY DISPATCH THAT MR LARRY W FAST JR (SUSPECT ONE) AND ANOTHER SUBJECT, WITH THE LAST NAME OF HESS, HAD LEFT THE SCENE IN A BLACK DODGE PICK-UP TRUCK. IT WAS LATER DISCOVERED THAT THE SECOND SUSPECT WAS ACTUALLY MR JUSTIN ARGERENON. (SUSPECT TWO). I WAS LATER ADVISED THAT THE SUSPECTS WERE IN THE AREA OF THE ALE HOUSE RESTAURANT; THEREFORE, I REQUESTED THAT CORPORAL CORBIN RESPOND THERE TO ATTEMPT TO LOCATE THEM. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE INCIDENT RESIDENCE, I WAS MET BY THE THREE VICTIMS AND THREE WITNESSES. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THERE WERE FOUR WHITE MALES AND TWO WHITE FEMALES PRESENT. VICTIM ONE ADVISED THAT HE WAS IN THE BATHROOM WHEN HE HEARD A COMMOTION COMING FROM THE LIVING ROOM. HE FURTHER ADVISED THAT AS HE EXITED THE BATHROOM, SUSPECT FAST APPROACHED HIM AND PUNCHED HIM IN HIS RIGHT EYE AND FORCED HIM BACK INTO THE BATHROOM AND ONTO THE FLOOR.

HE ADVISED THAT SUSPECT ARGERENON THEN RAN OUT THE DOOR BEHIND SUSPECT FAST. I THEN SPOKE WITH VICTIM THREE AND THE THREE WITNESSES WHO ALL CORROBORATED THE FIRST TWO VICTIMS STATEMENTS. WHILE I WAS SPEAKING WITH THE VICTIMS AND WITNESSES, I WAS ADVISED BY DISPATCH THAT THE SUSPECTS HAD BEEN LOCATED AND THAT CORPORAL CORBIN WAS PRESENT WITH THEM. DUE TO THE OBVIOUS INJURIES TO THE VICTIMS, I ADVISED CORPORAL CORBIN TO PLACE SUSPECT FAST AND SUSPECT ARGERENON INTO CUSTODY AND TRANSPORT THEN TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. PRIOR TO LEAVING THE SCENE, I WAS ADVISED BY ONE OF THE WITNESSES, THAT SUSPECT FAST WAS UPSET BECAUSE HIS GIRLFRIEND HAD LEFT HIM AND HAD TAKEN HIS CHILDREN. I WAS ADVISED THAT THIS WAS THE REASON SUSPECT FAST HAD RESPONDED TO THE RESIDENCE AND BECAUSE HIS GIRLFRIEND WOULD NO T SPEAK TO HIM ON THE TELEPHONE.

WHILE EN ROUTE TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY, I WAS CONTACTED BY CORPORAL CORBIN WHO ADVISED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PLACE SUSPECT ARGERENON UNDER ARREST, HE HAD TO FORCEFULLY PLACE HIM ON THE GROUND AND PLACE HIS HANDS BEHIND HIS BACK. CORPORAL CORBIN ADVISED THAT WHEN HE INSTRUCTED SUSPECT ARGERENON TO PLACE HIS HANDS BEHIND HIS BACK BECAUSE HE WAS UNDER ARREST, HE BECAME ARGUMENTATIVE AND ADVISED THAT HE WANTED TO MAKE A TELEPHONE CALL. CORPORAL CORBIN STATED THAT AFTER ASKING SUSPECT ARGERENON SEVERAL MORE TIMES TO PLACE HIS HANDS BEHIND HIS BACK AND HE DID NOT COMPLY, CORPORAL CORBIN ATTEMPTED TO TAKE THE CELLULAR TELEPHONE AWAY AND GAIN CONTROL OF SUSPECT ARGERENON.

HE ALSO STATED THAT THE ARRESTING OFFICER ON SCENE (CORPORAL CORBIN) TOLD HIM HE WAS GOING TO BE CHARGED WITH RESISTING ARREST AND HE DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHY BECAUSE HE DID NOT HURT ANYONE.

I ASKED HIM AGAIN IF HE DID AS HE WAS INSTRUCTED, TO WHICH HE ADVISED THAT CORPORAL CORBIN TOLD HIM TO PUT HIS HANDS BEHIND HIS BACK BUT HE DID NOT BECAUSE HE NEEDED TO MAKE A TELEPHONE CALL. SUSPECT ARGERENON ADVISED THAT HE WAS TOLD SEVERAL TIMES TO PUT HIS HANDS BEHIND HIS BACK BUT HE WANTED TO MAKE HIS TELEPHONE CALL. I EXPLAINED TO SUSPECT ARGERENON THAT HE WAS BEING CHARGED WITH RESISTING WITHOUT VIOLENCE AND WHY, AT WHICH TIME, SUSPECT ARGERENON ADVISED THAT HE UNDERSTOOD.
