ON 032210, I RESPONDED TO CITRUS MEMORIAL HOSPITAL IN REFERENCE TO THE DEFENDANT, MS KAREN ROSSEAU, CAUSING A DISTURBANCE IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM. HOSPITAL STAFF ADVISED THAT THE DEFENDANT WAS BEING DISCHARGED DUE TO HER AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR. I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT, WHO ADVISED THAT SHE WAS AT THE HOSPITAL FOR A HEAD INJURY AND DID NOT WANT TO GO TO HER RESIDENCE BECAUSE SHE WAS AFRAID OF HER LIVE IN EX- BOYFRIEND. CONTACT WAS MADE WITH CASA WHO ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD MAKE ROOM FOR HER TO STAY, BUT REQUESTED THAT THIS DEPUTY TRANSPORT HER TO THEIR FACULTY. I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT THAT I NEEDED TO SEARCH HER PROPERTY DUE TO TRANSPORTING HER IN MY VEHICLE, TO ENSURE SHE HAD NO CONCEALED WEAPONS. AT THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT REMOVED A BROWN WOODEN BOX FROM HER PURSE AND BEGAN TO WALK AWAY WITH IT. I ADVISED HER THAT I WOULD NEED TO SEARCH THE BOX AS WELL, TO WHICH SHE STATED, "ONE MINUTE". AT THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT REMOVED A BLUE GLASS OBJECT AND A PAPER BAGGIE FROM THE BOX AND CONCEALED IT IN HER LEFT DRESS POCKET. THIS WAS OBSERVED BY DEPUTY PATTERSON, WHO WAS STANDING BEHIND THE DEFENDANT AT THE TIME. AT THAT TIME, THE PIPE AND THE BAGGIE WERE REMOVED FROM THE DEFENDANT'S DRESS POCKET. THE BAGGIE CONTAINED APPROXIMATELY ONE HALF OF A GRAM OF CANNABIS, AND THE PIPE CONTAINED ANOTHER ONE HALF OF A GRAM OF CANNABIS. THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT IT WAS "MY MARIJUANA AND MY DOCTOR GAVE ME PERMISSION TO SMOKE IT". THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HER BACK. AT THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT STATED, "GO AHEAD AND LOCK ME UP, THESE CHARGES WILL BE EXPUNGED TOMORROW". THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN PLACED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. UPON ARRIVAL, THE DEFENDANT WAS CHARGED WITH POSSESSION OF CANNABIS AND PARAPHERNALIA WHERE HER TOTAL BOND WAS SET AT $1,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE CANNABIS AND PARAPHERNALIA WERE COLLECTED BY DEPUTY PATTERSON AND TURNED INTO EVIDENCE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
