| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: AMSLER, KENNETH 0329 (AR07004712) did unlawfully and knowingly take, obtain or use or endeavor to take, obtain or use the property of THE VICTIM, to-wit: VARIOUS ITEMS, by TAKING POSSESSION OF OR CARRYING AWAY THE SAID MERCHANDISE, with intent to temporarily or permanently deprive THE VICTIM, a merchant, of the possession, use, benefit or full retail value of said property, said property being of a value of less than $300.00, in violation of Florida Statutes 812.015, 812.014(1) and 812.014(3)a. ON 082607, I RESPONDED TO THE SUPER WAL-MART LOCATED AT 2461 EAST GULF TO LAKE HIGHWAY, INVERNESS IN REFERENCE TO RETAIL THEFT. UPON ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH WITNESS ONE, WHO ADVISED THAT HE HAD OBSERVED AN OLDER WHITE MALE LATER IDENTIFIED AS DEFENDANT ONE, MR KONRAD STAHL REMOVE CANDY FROM A SHELF, PLACE IT INTO HIS POCKET THEN PROCEED OVER TO THE MEDICINE DEPARTMENT WHERE HE REMOVED A TUBE OF CORTISONE FROM THE PACKAGE AND PLACED IT INTO HIS POCKET. WITNESS ONE STATED THAT HE THEN OBSERVED DEFENDANT ONE PROCEED OVER TO THE WOMEN'S DEPARTMENT WHERE HE MADE CONTACT WITH DEFENDANT TWO LATER IDENTIFIED BY HER FLORIDA'S DRIVER AS MS MARIE STAHL. HE ADVISED THAT HE OBSERVED DEFENDANT TWO REMOVE TWO PACKAGES CONTAINING BRAS FROM THE SHELF, HANDED THEM TO DEFENDANT ONE AND STOOD BY WHILE DEFENDANT ONE REMOVED THE BRAS FROM THE PACKAGES AND PLACE THEM IN HIS FRONT POCKETS. BOTH DEFENDANTS THEN EXITED THE STORE WHERE THEY WERE CONFRONTED BY LOSS PREVENTION PERSONNEL IN THE PARKING LOT. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH WITNESS TWO, WHO ADVISED THAT HE ALSO WITNESSED DEFENDANT ONE REMOVE PRODUCTS FROM ITS PACKAGES AND PLACE THEM INTO HIS POCKETS. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH BOTH DEFENDANTS, OBTAINED THEIR PERSONAL INFORMATION AND CONFIRMED THEIR IDENTITY. WITNESS ONE AND TWO COMPLETED WRITTEN STATEMENTS WHICH WILL LATER BE TURNED IN TO RECORDS. I THEN COMPLETED A PROPERTY RECEIPT FOR PROPERTY VALUED AT $21.91. THE PROPERTY WAS THEN RETURNED BACK TO THE STORE. THE PROPERTY RECEIPT WAS SIGNED BY THE OWNER AGENT OF THE STORE AND A COPY WAS LEFT WITH LOSS PREVENTION PERSONNEL. WITNESS ONE DID ADVISE THAT THIS WAS THIRD INCIDENT WITH THE DEFENDANTS STEALING PROPERTY IN THEIR STORE WITHIN THE LAST MONTH AND THAT THEY DID WISH TO PURSUE CHARGES. I ATTEMPTED TO ISSUE THE DEFENDANTS A MISDEMEANOR CITATION, TO WHICH DEFENDANT ONE ADVISED THAT HE WOULD NOT SHOW UP IN COURT. I THEN ADVISED DEFENDANT ONE THAT I WOULD HAVE TO TRANSPORT HIM TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. BOTH DEFENDANTS WERE THEN PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR RETAIL THEFT. NO RESTRAINTS WERE APPLIED TO EITHER DEFENDANT. THE DEFENDANTS WERE THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. DURING THE TRANSPORT TO THE DETENTION FACILITY THE DEFENDANTS SPONTANEOUSLY STATED THAT THEY HAD BEEN ASKED TO LEAVE THE STORE BEFORE BECAUSE OF THEM PLACING PERFUME BOTTLES IN THEIR POCKETS AND LEAVING THE STORE. BOTH DEFENDANTS BONDS WERE SET AT $250.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
