SUBMITTED BY: CREEL, JUSTIN 0661 (AR11121452) DID UNLAWFULLY AND INTENTIONALLY THREATEN BY WORD OR ACT TO DO VIOLENCE TO THE PERSON OF THE VICTIM, COUPLED WITH AN APPARENT ABILITY TO CARRY OUT SAID THREAT, AND UTILIZED A DEADLY WEAPON, TO WIT: DROVE HIS VEHICLE TOWARD THE VICTIMS NEARLY HITTING THEM, WITHOUT THE INTENT TO KILL, AND DID AN ACT OR ACTS WHICH CREATED A WELL-FOUNDED FEAR IN THE VICTIM THAT SUCH VIOLENCE WAS IMMINENT, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 784.021(1)(A). ON 062511 AT APPROXIMATELY 2245 HOURS, I RESPONDED TO 2810 MONROE STREET WEST IN INVERNESS IN REFERENCE TO A DISTURBANCE. UPON ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH MR LARRY SUMMERLIN WHO ADVISED THAT HE WAS IN AN ALTERCATION WITH HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW, MR KEITH JERVIS (DEFENDANT). LARRY STATED THAT KEITH WAS ASKED TO LEAVE HIS RESIDENCE WHICH HE REFUSED CAUSING THE ALTERCATION. LARRY FURTHER ADVISED THAT KEITH THEN SWUNG AT HIM AND MISSED, AT WHICH TIME, LARRY TOOK KEITH TO THE GROUND TO TRY TO CALM HIM DOWN. WHILE THEY WERE ON THE GROUND, LARRY AGAIN ADVISED KEITH THAT HE NEEDED TO LEAVE NOW WHICH KEITH THEN GOT INTO HIS VEHICLE WHICH WAS PARKED IN THE FRONT YARD. AT THAT TIME, KEITH THEN DROVE HIS VEHICLE TOWARD THE RESIDENCE AND ALMOST RAN OVER THE VICTIMS, MS ZUNILDA ROYALS AND MS JUNE MEIER, WHO WERE STANDING OUTSIDE IN FRONT OF THE RESIDENCE DURING THE ALTERCATION AND THEN CRASHED INTO THE RESIDENCE LEAVING MINOR DAMAGE. BOTH VICTIMS ADVISED THAT AFTER KEITH CRASHED INTO THE RESIDENCE, HE TRIED TO KEEP GOING BUT DUE TO BOTH OF THE VICTIMS SCREAMING KEITH STATED HE WOULD BE BACK AND THEN DROVE AWAY. WHILE PHOTOGRAPHING THE TIRE TRACKS IN THE YARD AND THE DAMAGES TO THE RESIDENCE, LARRY NOTICED KEITH WALKING DOWN THE STREET, AT WHICH TIME, I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH KEITH. UPON MAKING CONTACT WITH KEITH, HE WAS ADVISED HIS MIRANDA WARNINGS WHICH WERE READ TO HIM VIA AGENCY PREPRINTED CARD WHICH HE ACKNOWLEDGED HE UNDERSTOOD. HE INITIALLY STATED HE DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHY I WAS TALKING TO HIM AND THEN STATED HE WAS AT LARRY'S RESIDENCE BUT NOTHING HAD OCCURRED. AFTER EXPLAINING TO KEITH THE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST HIM, HE STATED HE WAS NOT DRIVING AND THEN FURTHER STATED THAT HE WAS DRIVING AND THAT HE MAY HAVE ACCIDENTLY PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE RATHER THAN IN REVERSE. AT THAT TIME, MR KEITH JERVIS WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR AGGRAVATED ASSAULT WITH A DEADLY WEAPON. HE WAS HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED), 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 $5,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE.
