UPON ARRIVAL AT THE INCIDENT LOCATION WHICH WAS THE HOMOSASSA RIVERSIDE RESORT, I OBSERVED APPROXIMATELY THIRTY PEOPLE TO BE STANDING IN THE PARKING LOT. ONE OF THE PEOPLE STANDING IN THE PARKING LOT WAS THE VICTIM. I OBSERVED A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF BLOOD TO BE COVERING THE ENTIRE FRONT PART OF THE VICTIM'S BODY. THE VICTIM DID NOT HAVE A SHIRT ON BUT HIS PANTS WERE SOAKED WITH BLOOD. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED DISPATCH AND ADVISED I NEEDED EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES (EMS) TO RESPOND TO MY LOCATION. EMS ARRIVED ON SCENE AND made CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM WHO REFUSED THEIR SERVICES. I MADE CONTACT WITH THE WITNESS, THE DEFENDANT'S GIRLFRIEND, WHO ADVISED SHE AND THE DEFENDANT HAD BEEN ARGUING AND SHE WAS AFRAID THE FIGHT WOULD BECOME PHYSICAL DUE TO THE DEFENDANT'S BEHAVIOR. SHE STATED AT THAT TIME, THE VICTIM CAME UP AND ATTEMPTED TO SEPARATE HER AND THE DEFENDANT, AT which TIME THE DEFENDANT STRUCK THE VICTIM IN THE FACE WITH A CLOSED FIST AND CONTINUED TO DO SO FOR QUITE SOME TIME. THE WITNESS STATED SHE FELT THE VICTIM WAS MERELY TRYING TO PROTECT HER. I MADE CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM WHO HAD STOPPED THE BLEEDING WHICH WAS COMING FROM HIS BOTTOM LIP. I OBSERVED THE WOUND TO BE THE APPROXIMATE SIZE OF A QUARTER ON THE INSIDE OF HIS MOUTH AND THE APPROXIMATE SIZE OF A DIME ON HIS LOWER LIP. I COULD OBSERVE THE INSIDE OF THE VICTIM'S MOUTH AND HIS TEETH WITHOUT HIM OPENING HIS MOUTH. THE VICTIM STATED HE WAS ABLE TO STICK PART OF HIS TONGUE THROUGH THE WOUND. THE VICTIM SAID WHEN HE OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT AND THE WITNESS/GIRLFRIEND ARGUING, HE FELT IT WOULD BECOME PHYSICAL SO HE ATTEMPTED TO BREAK THEM UP, AT WHICH TIME THE DEFENDANT STRUCK HIM IN THE FACE AND A FIGHT ENSUED. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH EVERYONE ELSE ON SCENE AND EVERYBODY'S STORY WAS CONSISTENT WITH THAT OF THE WITNESS AND THE VICTIM. I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT, MR MATHEW WILLIAMS, WHO ADVISED HE HAD BEEN IN AN ARGUMENT WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND AND THE VICTIM HAD COME AND ATTEMPTED TO BREAK THEM UP BUT THAT IT WAS OF HIS BUSINESS. THE DEFENDANT STATED THE VICTIM HAD ACTUALLY BEEN THE ONE TO STRIKE HIM FIRST. THIS STATEMENT WAS INCONSISTENT WITH EVERYONE ELSE'S STORY. I PLACED THE DEFENDANT UNDER ARREST FOR SIMPLE BATTERY. HE WAS HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK, SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. UPON ARRIVAL, THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $500.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
