ON 060816, I WAS DISPATCHED TO HOLDEN PARK LOCATED 4229 SOUTH RAINBOW DRIVE, IN INVERNESS, IN REFERENCE TO A ROBBERY THAT HAD JUST OCCURRED. UPON ARRIVAL I MADE CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM WHO STATED SHE WAS AT thE PARK WITH THE WITNESS SO THE VICTIM COULD SELL A FEW OF HER OXYCODONE PILLS. THE VICTIM STATED UPON ARRIVAL THE WITNESS EXITED HER VEHICLE AND LEFT THE VICTIM IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE DEFENDANT, MS MELANIE DRAWDY, THEN ENTERED THE DRIVERâS SIDE AND SMASHED SOMETHING IN THE VICTIMâS FACE PUSHING HER HEAD BACK AGAINST THE HEAD REST. THE DEFENDANT THEN GRABBED THE VICTIMâS BLACK PURSE, WHICH CONTAINED A BOTTLE OF OXYCODONE THAT WAS JUST FILLED PRIOR TO GOING TO THE PARK. THE DEFENDANT RAN TO HER VEHICLE, GOT IN HER VEHICLE, AND DROVE AWAY. THE DEFENDANT THEN PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT NEAR SOUTH PLEASANT GROVE ROAD AND EAST ARBOR STREET FOLLOWED BY LIEUTENANT KANTER (0155). I RESPONDED TO THAT LOCATION AND MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT, WHO WAS IDENTIFIED BY HER FLORIDA DRIVER'S LICENSE. AFTER READING THE DEFENDANT HER MIRANDA RIGHTS, VIA AN AGENCY ISSUED PREPRINTED CARD, SHE STATED SHE PICKED UP MS CYNTHIA PARKINSON (DEFENDANT) AT ABC LIQUOR. SHE STATED THAT MS PARKINSON CONVINCED HER THAT THE VICTIM HAD STOLE ITEMS FROM HER (MS PARKINSON) AND THEY NEEDED TO RETALIATE. MS PARKINSON MADE TELEPHONE CALLS TO THE WITNESS AND ARRANGED THEM TO MEET AT HOLDEN PARK. THE DEFENDANT STATED SHE ARRIVED WITH MS PARKINSON TO THE PARK BEFORE THE WITNESS AND THE VICTIM. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED SHE HAD HER SMALL DOG WITH HER, WHICH DEFECATED, AND MS PARKINSON CONVINCED THE DEFENDANT THAT THE VICTIM NEEDED âSHITâ SHOVED IN HER FACE BECAUSE SHE WAS AN EVIL PERSON. THE DEFENDANT STATED MS PARKINSON STAYED IN THE VEHICLE AND COVERED UP WITH A BLANKET SO THAT SHE COULD NOT BE SEEN BY THE VICTIM. THE DEFENDANT STATED WHEN THE WITNESS ARRIVED ON SCENE SHE (WITNESS) EXITED THE VEHICLE TO MAKE A TELEPHONE CALL, AT WHICH TIME THE DEFENDANT GOT INTO THE DRIVERâS SEAT OF THE WITNESSâ VEHICLE AND SHE SHOVED A PAPER TOWEL FULL OF DOG FECES IN THE VICTIMâS FACE. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED SHE THEN GRABBED THE VICTIMâS PURSE AND RAN TO HER VEHICLE. THE VICTIM GAVE CHASE BUT COULD NOT CATCH THE DEFENDANT. THE DEFENDANT WAS VERY UPSET AND STATED THAT SHE KNEW SHE DID WRONG AND DID NOT WANT TO LIE ANYMORE. THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT MS PARKINSON PROMISED HER SOME PILLS AS A REWARD FOR STEALING THE PURSE AND SHOVING DOG FECES IN THE VICTIMâS FACE. I THEN SPOKE TO MS PARKINSON (DEFENDANT) WHO STATED SHE DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON, EXCEPT FOR THE DEFENDANT WANTED TO GO TO THE DOG PARK. MS PARKINSON ADVISED SHE received A TELEPHONE CALL ADVISING HER THAT THE WITNESS AND VICTIM WERE ON THEIR WAY TO THE DOG PARK AS WELL. SHE STATED SHE DID NOT KNOW THAT THE DEFENDANT WAS GOING TO STEAL ANYTHING, BUT THEY DID TALK ABOUT PUTTING DOG FECES IN THE VICTIMâS FACE. UPON SPEAKING WITH THE DEFENDANT AGAIN, SHE GAVE ME PERMISSION TO SEARCH HER VEHICLE. IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT ON THE FLOORBOARD, I LOCATED THE VICTIMâS BLACK PURSE WITH TAN STITCHING THAT CONTAINED A PRESCRIPTION BOTTLE WITH THE VICTIMâS NAME ON IT. IN A LARGE DRINK CUP FILLED WITH A FLUID AND ICE, I OBSERVED THREE GREAT VALUE PLASTIC BAGGIES CONTAINING A BLUE PILL THAT HAD âE8â ON IT. THE BAGGIES WERE SUBMERGED IN THE DRINK AND ON TOP OF THE BAGGIES WAS AN EMPTY PILL BOTTLE FROM THE VICTIM THAT WAS DATED 060816. THE DEFENDANT AND MS PARKINSON WERE THEN PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR ROBBERY BY SUDDEN SNATCHING. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED IN HANDCUFFS (DOUBLE LOCKED), PLACED IN THE REAR OF DEPUTY GENTILEâS (1362) VEHICLE, AND THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANTâS BOND WAS SET AT $2,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
