UPON MY ARRIVAL I MADE CONTACT WITH THE COMPLAINANT, SHIFT MANAGER OF DENNY'S RESTAURANT, WHO ADVISED THIS DEPUTY THAT HE HAD TWO WHITE MALES IN HIS RESTAURANT WHO STARTED FLIPPING OVER THEIR TABLE AND THROWING FOOD AT EACH OTHER. THE COMPLAINANT FURTHER ADVISED ME THAT THE DEFENDANT, MR MARK PITTELKOW, HAD SLAPPED THE UNKNOWN SUBJECT SEVERAL TIMES IN THE FACE WITH AN OPEN HAND. THE COMPLAINANT FURTHER ADVISED ME that WHILE THE UNKNOWN SUBJECT AND DEFENDANT WERE CAUSING A DISTURBANCE IN THE ESTABLISHMENT, MULTIPLE PATRONS HAD TO MOVE OUT OF THE IMMEDIATE AREA TO NOT BE INJURED. THE UNKNOWN SUBJECT THEN DROVE AWAY IN A BLACK FORD TRUCK HEADING SOUTH ON U S HIGHWAY 19, AND THE DEFENDANT HAD FLED ON FOOT, NORTH ON U S HIGHWAY 19. THE COMPLAINANT ALSO ADVISED THIS DEPUTY THAT BOTH THE SUBJECTS HAD WALKED OUT, LEAVING A BILL WORTH $18.10 FOR THE FOOD WHICH THEY HAD ORDERED PRIOR TO LEAVING THE ESTABLISHMENT. ONCE I RECEIVED THE INFORMATION FROM THE COMPLAINANT THAT THE DEFENDANT HAD FLED ON FOOT WITHOUT PAYING FOR THE FOOD HE HAD EATEN, I THEN REQUESTED K-9 UNIT; DEPUTY TACKETT, TO RESPOND TO MY LOCATION. FOR AN AREA SEARCH. (SEE K-9 REPORT) SHORTLY AFTER DEPUTY TACKETTT ADVISED THIS DEPUTY THAT HE HAD LOCATED THE DEFENDANT BEHIND THE OAR HOUSE IN CRYSTAL RIVER. I THEN MET THE K-9 TEAM ON ASHBURN, ADJACENT TO THE OAR HOUSE. I NOTICED THAT THE DEFENDANT MATCHED THE DESCRIPTION THAT THE COMPLAINANT HAD GIVEN TO ME. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE HAD EATEN AT DENNY'S RESTAURANT, TO WHICH HE STATED, YES. I THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE HAD LEFT DENNY'S WITHOUT PAYING HIS BILL, TO WHICH HE STATED, YES. THE DEFENDANT THEN ASKED IF HE COULD RETURN TO DENNY'S TO PAY HIS BILL, AND I ADVISED HIM, NO. AT THAT TIME I PLACED THE DEFENDANT UNDER ARREST FOR ONE COUNT OF PETIT THEFT AND ONE COUNT OF DISORDERLY CONDUCT. I SECURED HIS HANDS BEHIND HIS BACK (DOUBLE LOCKED) AND PLACED HIM IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT WAS TRANSPORTED BACK TO THE DENNY'S RESTAURANT AND THE MANAGER THEN NOTIFIED THE DEFENDANT HE WAS TRESPASSED FROM THE PREMISES. AFTER BEING TRESPASSED FROM THE DENNY'S RESTAURANT THE DEFENDANT WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING.
