| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: REESE, KELLIE 0640 (09107117) DID UNLAWFULLY COMMIT BATTERY UPON THE VICTIM BY ACTUALLY AND INTENTIONALLY TOUCHING OR STRIKING SAID PERSON AGAINST SAID PERSON'S WILL, OR BY INTENTIONALLY CAUSING BODILY HARM, TO WIT: SLAPPING THE VICTIM ON THE LEFT SIDE OF HER FACE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 784.03(1)(A)(1); AND DID UNLAWFULLY AND WILLFULLY ENTER OR REMAIN ON A PROPERTY OTHER THAN A STRUCTURE OR CONVEYANCE, TO WIT: THE DRIVEWAY, THE PROPERTY OF THE VICTIM, WITHOUT BEING AUTHORIZED, LICENSED, OR INVITED TO DO SO BY THE OWNER, LESSEE, OR THEIR AGENT, AFTER BEING PREVIOUSLY TRESPASSED, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 810.09(1)(A). ON 010909, I WAS DISPATCHED TO MANATEE LANES CRYSTAL RIVER TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE COMPLAINANT/DEFENDANT IN REFERENCE TO AN ALTERCATION THAT HAD JUST OCCURRED ON PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE. UPON ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT, MS LACEY FLOYD, WHO ADVISED THAT SHE WAS LOOKING FOR HER BOYFRIEND AND WENT TO HIS EX-GIRLFRIEND'S RESIDENCE ON PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE TO ATTEMPT TO LOCATE HIM. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED SHE HAS BEEN TRESPASSED FROM THIS RESIDENCE (TRESPASSED ON 121708 BY DEPUTY C DOYLE), THEREFORE, SHE BROUGHT A FRIEND TO GO ON THE PROPERTY FOR HER TO ATTEMPT TO LOCATE HER BOYFRIEND. THE DEFENDANT SAID SHE STOPPED HER VEHICLE IN THE ROADWAY IN FRONT OF THE VICTIM'S RESIDENCE, WHEN THE VICTIM CAME OUT OF HER RESIDENCE SCREAMING AND YELLING AT HER. THE DEFENDANT SAID SHE EXITED HER VEHICLE AND A VERBAL ARGUMENT ENSUED. THE DEFENDANT SAID THAT DURING THE COURSE OF THIS VERBAL ARGUMENT THE VICTIM SLAPPED HERSELF IN THE FACE. AT THAT TIME, THE VICTIM'S FATHER EXITED THE RESIDENCE AND THE DEFENDANT SAID SHE GOT INTO HER VEHICLE AND DROVE TO MANATEE LANES WHERE SHE CALLED 9-1-1 AND WAITED FOR DEPUTIES TO ARRIVE. I QUESTIONED THE DEFENDANT'S PASSENGER WHO CONCURRED WITH THE DEFENDANT'S ACCOUNT, HOWEVER, SAID SHE NEVER EXITED THE VEHICLE. I THEN FOLLOWED THE DEFENDANT TO THE INCIDENT LOCATION 3020 NORTH PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE WHERE I INSTRUCTED HER TO STAY IN HER VEHICLE. DEPUTY PINNER RESPONDED TO THAT LOCATION AS WELL. UPON OUR ARRIVAL, CONTACT WAS MADE WITH THE VICTIM AND HER FATHER. THE VICTIM SAID THAT THE DEFENDANT DROVE INTO HER DRIVEWAY AND EXITED HER VEHICLE, WHEN THE VICTIM AND THE DEFENDANT GOT INTO A VERBAL ALTERCATION. THE VICTIM SAID SHE WAS YELLING AT THE DEFENDANT TO LEAVE HER YARD WHEN THE DEFENDANT SLAPPED HER ON THE LEFT SIDE OF HER FACE. THE VICTIM'S FATHER SAID HE EXITED HIS RESIDENCE WHEN HE HEARD YELLING AND WITNESSED THE DEFENDANT SLAP HIS DAUGHTER IN THE FACE, THEN GET INTO HER VEHICLE, WHICH WAS PARKED IN THE VICTIM'S DRIVEWAY AND LEAVE THE AREA. I DID OBSERVE THE VICTIM'S LEFT CHEEK TO BE SLIGHTLY RED. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE VICTIM LIVES AT THE END OF A DEAD END ROAD AND THE DEFENDANT HAD NO LOGICAL REASON TO BE IN THE AREA OTHER THAN TO CONFRONT THE VICTIM. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED), AND PLACED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY WHERE SHE WAS TURNED OVER FOR BOOKING. AT THE DEFENDANT'S REQUEST HER VEHICLE WAS TURNED OVER TO HER PASSENGER. WRITTEN STATEMENTS WERE OBTAINED FROM THE DEFENDANT'S PASSENGER, THE VICTIM, AND THE VICTIM'S FATHER WHICH WERE ALL TURNED IN TO CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE RECORDS. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
