| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: SMITH, STEVE 0292 (AR08106586) did knowingly, actually and intentionally touch or strike DEPUTY STEVE SMITH, a LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, against the will of that person while knowing that the said OFFICER was engaged in a lawful performance of HIS legal duties, in violation of Florida Statute 784.07(2); AND UNLAWFULLY ENDANGER THE SAFETY OF ANOTHER OR THEIR PROPERTY WHILE INTOXICATED OR DID WHILE INTOXICATED OR DRINKING AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE IN A PUBLIC PLACE CAUSE A PUBLIC DISTURBANCE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE NUMBER 856.011. ON 120608 WHILE WORKING THE ROCK CRUSHER CANYON CONCERT, K-9 DEPUTY LAURA ANSTEAD GOT THIS DEPUTY'S ATTENTION, POINTED OUT THE DEFENDANT (MS LINDA FUSCO) AND ADVISED SHE NEEDED TO LEAVE DUE TO HER BEING DRUNK AND DISORDERLY. I MADE CONTACT with the DEFENDANT, WHO WAS EXTREMELY INTOXICATED WITH A STRONG ODOR OF ALCOHOL EMITTING FROM HER PERSON. WHEN I TRIED TO make CONTACT WITH HER she WAS EXTREMELY BELLIGERENT TO THIS DEPUTY and BEGAN SWEARING, CAUSING A SCENE in the CROWD. AT THIS TIME, I ADVISED HER she NEEDED TO LEAVE and I would BE ESCORTING HER TO THE GATE. UPON THIS DEPUTY ESCORTING HER TO THE GATE she BECAME INCREASINGLY BELLIGERENT. DEPUTY CONLEY ARRIVED and ASSISTED THIS DEPUTY IN ESCORTING HER OUTSIDE THE GATE OF the CONCERT. AT THAT TIME, I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT THAT I WOULD BE MORE THAN WILLING TO CALL HER SOMEONE TO PICK HER UP OR CALL A CAB IF SHE HAD MONEY TO PAY FOR ONE. SHE CONTINUED TO BE BELLIGERENT AND BEGAN SCREAMING "FUCK THIS, FUCK YOU!" I ADVISED HER she WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR DISORDERLY INTOXICATION. UPON DEPUTY CONLEY AND MYSELF ATTEMPTING TO ESCORT HER TO THE TRANSPORT VAN, SHE PULLED FROM DEPUTY CONLEY, BALLED UP HER FIST and PUNCHED ME in the CHEST. AT THAT TIME, THIS DEPUTY PLACED HER ON THE GROUND WHERE she WAS HANDCUFFED DOUBLE LOCKED. WHILE this DEPUTY WAS HOLDING HER HANDS SO DEPUTY CONLEY COULD HANDCUFF HER she SCRATCHED THIS DEPUTY'S WRIST WITH HER FINGERNAILS. THE DEFENDANT CONTINUED TO SCREAM OBSCENITIES AT THE TOP OF HER LUNGS WHERE SHE WAS BEING ESCORTED TO the TRANSPORT VEHICLE WHERE she WAS TURNED OVER TO DEPUTY CARLSON TO BE TRANSPORTED TO THE DETENTION FACILITY. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE DETENTION FACILITY, THE DEFENDANT WAS STILL VERY UNCOOPERATIVE AND BELLIGERENT. IT SHOULD BE NOTED, THE DEFENDANT DID PROVIDE HER PERSONAL INFORMATION; HOWEVER, AT THIS TIME WE HAVE NO WAY OF VERIFYING HER IDENTITY. THE DEFENDANT'S TOTAL BOND WAS SET AT $5,250.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. IT SHOULD BE NOTED, THE DEFENDANT WAS SO INTOXICATED THAT SHE WAS UNSTEADY ON HER FEET AND WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY WALKING. WHILE THE DEFENDANT WAS AT THE DETENTION FACILITY, I WAS ADVISED BY DETENTION STAFF SHE AGAIN HAD TO BE RESTRAINED INSIDE THE FACILITY. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
