| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: CUTLIP, JOSHUA 0721 (AR15-14921) (15-61452) DID CORRUPT THE PUBLIC MORALS, OR OUTRAGE THE SENSE OF PUBLIC DECENCY, OR AFFECT THE PEACE AND QUIET OF PERSONS WHO MAY WITNESS THEM, OR ENGAGE IN BRAWLING OR FIGHTING, OR ENGAGED IN SUCH CONDUCT AS TO CONSTITUTE A BREACH OF PEACE OR DISORDERLY CONDUCT, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 877.03. ON 051015 AT APPROXIMATELY 1947 HOURS, I WAS DISPATCHED TO 3383 EAST QUAIL LANE IN INVERNESS, IN REFERENCE TO A VERBAL DISTURBANCE. PRIOR TO ARRIVAL, THE COMPLAINANT ADVISED DISPATCH that A SUBJECT WHO RESIDES AT THAT ADDRESS, IDENTIFIED AS MARIO, WAS EXTREMELY INTOXICATED AND HAD BEEN YELLING AND SCREAMING PROFANITIES FROM THE BACK PORCH OF HIS RESIDENCE FOR SEVERAL HOURS AND HAD CONSUMED APPROXIMATELY HALF OF A 750 MILLILITER (ML) BOTTLE OF VODKA. UPON MY ARRIVAL AT APPROXIMATELY 1951 HOURS, I MADE CONTACT WITH A WHITE MALE, IDENTIFIED AS MR MARIO CANNIZZO, ALSO REFERRED TO AS THE DEFENDANT. THE DEFENDANT WAS OBSERVED TO BE STANDING ON HIS BACK PORCH, WHERE I WITNESSED HIM YELLING AND SCREAMING EXCESSIVELY AND USING VULGAR LANGUAGE. THE COMPLAINANT LIVES DIRECTLY NEXT TO THE DEFENDANT AND WAS OUTSIDE WITH HER HUSBAND DURING THE DEFENDANT'S DRUNKEN OUTRAGE. UPON SPEAKING WITH THE DEFENDANT, I INFORMED HIM THAT HIS BEHAVIOR WOULD NOT BE TOLERATED AND ASKED HIM TO PLEASE CALM DOWN AND LOWER HIS VOICE, WHERE HE PROCEEDED TO STATE THAT HE IS A UNITED STATES CITIZEN and PATRIOT OF THIS COUNTRY AND THAT HE HAS SERVED HIS COUNTRY AND HAS FREEDOM OF speech. HE STATED HE WAS FREE TO EXPRESS HIMSELF HOWEVER HE WANTED TO EVEN IF IT BOTHERED HIS NEIGHBORS, HE DID NOT CARE. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE DEFENDANT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, HE CALMED DOWN AND APOLOGIZED FOR HIS BEHAVIOR AND STATED HE HAD TOO MUCH TO DRINK ALREADY tonight AND THAT HE WAS GOING TO BED. AFTER THE DEFENDANT ENTERED HIS RESIDENCE WITH NO other ALTERCATION, I LEFT THE SCENE AND PROCEEDED TO THE WEST SIDE OF EAST QUAIL LANE FOR FURTHER OBSERVATION TO ENSURE THE DEFENDANT WOULD NOT CORRUPT PUBLIC MORALS OR DISTURB THEIR SANCTITY OF LIFE. AT APPROXIMATELY 2025 HOURS, AS I WAS PARKED DOWN THE STREET STILL IN VISUAL LINE OF SIGHT and WAS ABLE TO HEAR THE DEFENDANT EXIT HIS RESIDENCE AND BEGAN TO YELL OBSCENITIES VERY LOUDLY. HE STATED "HOWEVER CALLED THE FUCKING COPS, I'M GOING TO SHOOT THEM". THE DEFENDANT USED VERY FOUL AND VULGAR LANGUAGE AND WAS LOUD ENOUGH TO HEAR FROM APPROXIMATELY ONE BLOCK AWAY. AT that TIME, I RESPONDED BACK TO THE RESIDENCE, WHERE I AGAIN OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT TO BE CONSUMING MORE ALCOHOL ON HIS BACK PORCH AND WAS TAUNTING HIS NEIGHBORS, STATING "IF YOU CALLED THE COPS, COME OVER HERE, I'LL FUCK YOU UP." AT THAT TIME, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT A SECOND TIME. DUE TO HIS VERBAL THREATS I ENSURED HE WAS UNARMED. I REQUESTED THE DEFENDANT TO COME OFF THE BACK PORCH and PROVIDE ME WITH HIS FLORIDA IDENTIFICATION, WHERE HE RECOGNIZED THIS DEPUTY FROM THE PRIOR INCIDENT AND STATED "OH NO, NOT YOU AGAIN." THE DEFENDANT BEGAN TO APOLOGIZE AND STATED HE WOULD GO TO BED; HOWEVER, I INFORMED THE DEFENDANT THAT I WOULD BE PLACING HIM UNDER ARREST FOR BREACH OF PEACE DUE TO HIS CONTINUAL VERBAL RANTS AND CONTINUED BEHAVIOR AFTER PREVIOUSLY BEEN WARNED BY THIS DEPUTY AND HAVING WITNESSED THE INCIDENT. THE DEFENDANT WAS HANDCUFFED BEHIND HIS BACK (DOUBLE LOCKED) AND WAS PLACED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. A SWORN WRITTEN STATEMENT WAS OBTAINED FROM THE COMPLAINANT AND A WITNESS. THE WITNESSES STATED THE SUBJECT HAS ACTED LIKE THIS FOR THE PAST EIGHT YEARS and CONTINUES TO GET WORSE WHEN HE IS DRINKING. THEY ADVISED HE IS A NUISANCE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND STANDS OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB DUE TO IT BEING A QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD. THE SWORN WRITTEN STATEMENTS WERE TURNED INTO RECORDS. AT THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. WHILE EN ROUTE, THE DEFENDANT APOLOGIZED AND STATED HE SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO THE WARNING THIS DEPUTY HAD GIVEN HIM. HE STATED HE WAS SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE AND BOTHERING THE NEIGHBORHOOD; HOWEVER, WOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIS ACTIONS. UPON ARRIVING AT THE DETENTION FACILITY, HE WAS TURNED OVER TO CORRECTION STAFF, WHERE HIS BOND WAS SET AT $500.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. NO FURTHER ACTION WAS TAKEN BY THIS DEPUTY AT THIS TIME. |
