SUBMITTED BY: LEVACK, PETER 0475 (AR07101019) COMMIT BATTERY UPON THE VICTIMS BY ACTUALLY AND INTENTIONALLY TOUCHING OR STRIKING SAID PERSONS AGAINST SAID PERSONS' WILLS OR BY INTENTIONALLY CAUSING BODILY HARM, TO WIT: PULLED OUT VICTIM ONE'S HAIR, STRUCK VICTIM TWO AND VICTIM THREE WITH A COOLER AND STRUCK VICTIM TWO IN THE HEAD WITH A CLOSED FIST, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 784.03.1. ON 123107 AT 2004 HOURS, I WAS DISPATCHED TO THE AREA OF WEST GROVER CLEVELAND BOULEVARD AND SOUTH ARROWHEAD DRIVE IN REFERENCE TO A DISTURBANCE. UPON ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH AN EMPLOYEE OF DAN'S CLAM STAND AND ASKED IF HE HAD HEARD OF A DISTURBANCE IN THE AREA. HE POINTED ACROSS THE STREET TO A RESIDENCE ON WEST GROVER CLEVELAND BOULEVARD, AT WHICH TIME I HEARD A FEMALE SUBJECT HOLLERING. UPON COMING IN CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT AND SHE NOT KNOWING OF MY PRESENCE, SHE WAS LOOKING AT PEOPLE AT THE RESIDENCE, STATING "FUCK YOU, YOU ASSHOLES." ONCE SHE OBSERVED ME, SHE IMMEDIATELY CALMED DOWN, STATED SHE WANTED TO SPEAK WITH ME AND THAT SHE WAS THE PERSON WHO HAD CALLED. SHE ADVISED ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WERE AT THE ABOVE LISTED RESIDENCE WERE "CRACK HEADS." I NOTED THAT THE DEFENDANT APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN LAYING IN SOMETHING WET AS THE BACK OF HER CLOTHING WAS WET. THE DEFENDANT ALSO APPEARED TO BE VERY INTOXICATED. WHEN ASKED WHO LIVED AT THE RESIDENCE, THE DEFENDANT ADVISED SHE DID NOT KNOW. I MADE CONTACT WITH VICTIM TWO WHO STATED THAT HE DID NOT KNOW THE DEFENDANT AND THAT SHE HAD JUST COME INTO HIS YARD AND STARTED CURSING AND CALLING NAMES. AT ONE POINT, HE STATED THE DEFENDANT PICKED UP A COOLER AND HIT HIM WITH IT AS WELL AS HITTING HIM THE HEAD WITH HER FIST. VICTIM TWO ADVISED THAT VICTIM THREE HAD ALSO BEEN STRUCK WITH THE COOLER. VICTIM TWO ADVISED THAT HIS DAUGHTER, VICTIM ONE, TOLD THE DEFENDANT TO LEAVE THE RESIDENCE AND AT THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT ATTACKED VICTIM ONE AND PULLED HAIR OUT OF HER HEAD. THE DEFENDANT WAS ONLY STOPPED WHEN VICTIM TWO AND WITNESS ONE PULLED THE DEFENDANT OFF OF VICTIM ONE. I SPOKE WITH WITNESS TWO WHO ADVISED THAT THEY HAD SEEN THE DEFENDANT ACROSS WEST GROVER CLEVELAND BOULEVARD AND WATCHED AS SHE FELL DOWN IN A DITCH. THEY RAN TO HER AID AND WITNESS TWO ADVISED THAT THE DEFENDANT APPEARED TO HAVE PASSED OUT. UPON WAKING THE DEFENDANT UP, SHE WAS ESCORTED TO THE DEUCES BAR WHERE THEY BELIEVED SHE HAD COME FROM. ONCE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE DEFENDANT WAS ALRIGHT, WITNESS TWO AND OTHERS LEFT HER AT THE BAR AND WALKED BACK ACROSS THE STREET. SEVERAL MINUTES LATER THE DEFENDANT APPEARED IN FRONT OF THE RESIDENCE OF VICTIM TWO, HOLLERING OBSCENITIES. WHEN ASKED BY VICTIM ONE TO LEAVE, THE DEFENDANT BEGAN FIGHTING WITH ALL THREE VICTIMS. I ASKED THE VICTIMS HOW THEY KNEW THE DEFENDANT, TO WHICH THEY ALL ADVISED THEY DID NOT KNOW THE DEFENDANT AND HAD NEVER MET HER BEFORE. VICTIM TWO ALSO ADVISED THE DEFENDANT HAD BROKEN THE BOTTOM OF HIS SCREEN DOOR, CAUSING APPROXIMATELY FIFTY DOLLARS WORTH OF DAMAGE. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HER BACK, SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. UPON ARRIVAL, HER BOND WAS SET AT $500.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. SWORN STATEMENTS WERE OBTAINED FROM THE VICTIM TWO AND VICTIM THREE AND THE WITNESSES AND LATER TURNED IN TO RECORDS. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT VICTIM ONE DID ADVISE SHE WANTED TO PRESS CHARGES AGAINST THE DEFENDANT BUT WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE A SWORN WRITTEN STATEMENT AS SHE WAS INCARCERATED IN THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY ON UNRELATED CHARGES. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
