WHILE EN ROUTE TO THE CALL, DISPATCH ADVISED THAT THE SUSPECTS HAD LEFT THE AREA IN A TRUCK-TYPE VEHICLE, AND ONE SUSPECT WAS WEARING A RED SWEATSHIRT. UPON MY ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM, WHO ADVISED THAT ON 110507 AT APPROXIMATELY 0130 HOURS HE WOKE UP AND REALIZED THAT HE LEFT HIS 2003 FORD F250 TRUCK IN HIS DRIVEWAY UNLOCKED. HE STATED AT THAT TIME, HE OPENED HIS FRONT DOOR TO LOCK THE VEHICLE, AT WHICH TIME HE SAW AN UNKNOWN MALE SUBJECT LATER TO BE IDENTIFIED AS DEFENDANT NUMBER ONE, MR MICHAEL BOYD, WEARING A RED SWEATSHIRT, SITTING IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT OF HIS VEHICLE. AT THAT TIME HE YELLED AT THE DEFENDANT TO GET OUT, WHICH HE DID, AND THE DEFENDANT RAN IN AN EASTERLY DIRECTION ON KEATING COURT. HE STATED APPROXIMATELY 45-60 SECONDS LATER, HE OBSERVED THE TRUCK-LIKE VEHICLE TO BE TRAVELING WEST ON KEATING COURT PAST HIS RESIDENCE. AT THAT TIME HE CONTACTED THIS AGENCY. WHILE I WAS ON SCENE, I WAS ADVISED THAT DEPUTY TACKETT HAD CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF WEST VENABLE STREET AND SEVEN RIVERS DRIVE ON A DARK COLORED SPORT UTILITY VEHICLE WITH TWO OCCUPANTS. HE STATED THAT THE PASSENGER, DEFENDANT ONE, MR MICHAEL BOYD, WAS WEARING A RED SWEATSHIRT. AFTER OBTAINING BOTH DEFENDANTS' IDENTIFICATION, DEPUTY TACKETT ADVISED THIS DEPUTY THAT HE BELIEVED HE HAD THE SUSPECTS IN REFERENCE TO THE BURGLARY. AT THAT TIME, I THEN RESPONDED TO THAT LOCATION AND AT THAT TIME I MADE CONTACT WITH DEFENDANT ONE, MR MICHAEL BOYD AND READ HIM HIS MIRANDA WARNING VIA A PREPRINTED AGENCY CARD. MR BOYD STATED THAT HE HAD MET UP WITH DEFENDANT TWO EARLIER IN THE EVENING, AND AT THAT TIME THEY WENT TO THE RESIDENCE OF A FRIEND OF DEFENDANT NUMBER TWO. AFTER LEAVING, MR BOYD TOLD DEFENDANT NUMBER TWO TO GO DOWN A ROAD, WHICH WAS KEATING COURT AND TOLD HIM TO LET HIM OUT OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE, HE THEN WENT TO 5685 WEST KEATING COURT AND ENTERED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF A WHITE FORD TRUCK. AFTER LOOKING AROUND INSIDE THE TRUCK, HE WENT INTO THE GLOVE BOX AND OBSERVED A SWISS ARMY POCKET KNIFE, HE STATED HE TOOK THE KNIFE FROM THE GLOVE BOX AND AT THAT TIME HEARD A MAN YELL FROM THE FRONT DOOR OF THE RESIDENCE. HE STATED AT THAT TIME HE EXITED THE VEHICLE AND RAN DOWN THE ROAD TOWARD DEFENDANT NUMBER TWO, WHO WAS IN THE DARK SPORT UTILITY VEHICLE. AT THAT TIME THEY WENT TO LEAVE THE AREA AND UPON APPROACHING THE INTERSECTION OF WEST VENABLE STREET AND SEVEN RIVERS DRIVE, THEY WERE PULLED OVER. MR BOYD STATED THAT HE PUT THE POCKET KNIFE IN THE GLOVE BOX OF THE VEHICLE AND TOOK THE BROWN GLOVES THAT HE WAS WEARING AT THE TIME OF ENTERING THE VEHICLE UNDERNEATH HIS LEGS. MR BOYD STATED THAT HE WORE THE GLOVES SO HE WOULD NOT LEAVE FINGERPRINTS AT THE SCENE. AT THAT TIME, MR BOYD COMPLETED A SWORN WRITTEN STATEMENT AND THEN WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED, DOUBLE LOCKED AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY WHERE HIS BOND WAS SET AT $4,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
