| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: SETTLES, KATHERINE 0113 (AR10113208) 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: THE DEFENDANT DID STRIKE THE VICTIM ON THE LEFT CHEEK WITH AN OPEN HAND HARD ENOUGH TO LEAVE A RED MARK AND SLIGHT SWELLING, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 784.03(1)(A)(1). THE DEFENDANT ADVISED SHE HAS BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE VICTIM'S FAMILY FOR SOMETIME. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED ON THIS SPECIFIC DATE SHE HAD HEARD A NOISE OUTSIDE OF HER TRAILER. THE DEFENDANT AND HER SON EXITED THE TRAILER TO CHECK AND SEE WHAT THE NOISE WAS, AND HAD SEEN THE VICTIM AND THE VICTIM'S FAMILY IN THE VICTIM'S FRONT YARD. BOTH PARTIES ENSUED INTO A VERBAL ALTERCATION. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED THAT WHILE ON THE VICTIM'S PROPERTY, THE VICTIM HIT HER IN HER LEFT ARM. THE DEFENDANT SLAPPED THE VICTIM IN THE LEFT CHEEK AREA. DURING THE ALTERCATION, ALL PARTIES WERE CALLING EACH OTHER VULGAR NAMES. ONE OF THE VICTIM'S WITNESSES CAPTURED THE DEFENDANT STRIKING THE VICTIM ON HIS CAMERA TELEPHONE. THE DEFENDANT STATED SHE WOULD NOT HAVE STRUCK THE VICTIM, IF THE VICTIM WOULD NOT HAVE GRABBED/STRUCK HER IN THE ARM. I OBSERVED A RED PALM PRINT ON THE VICTIM'S LEFT CHEEK; HOWEVER, I WAS UNABLE TO PHOTOGRAPH THE VICTIM'S LEFT CHEEK. THERE WAS NO BRUISING AT THE TIME OF THE REPORT. I CHECKED THE DEFENDANT'S LEFT ARM, BUT THERE WERE NO MARKS ON THE DEFENDANT'S LEFT ARM THAT WOULD RESEMBLE HAVING BEEN STRUCK BY THE VICTIM. THERE IS AN ONGOING FEUD BETWEEN THE FAMILIES, WHICH I ADVISED I WOULD NOT DEAL WITH TODAY. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR SIMPLE BATTERY, HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) IN FRONT, PLACED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE, AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY WITHOUT INCIDENT. ARRANGEMENTS WERE MADE FOR HER GRANDSON WHO LIVES WITH HER TO BE TEMPORARILY PLACED WITH ANOTHER FAMILY MEMBER. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
