ON 071911 I WAS DISPATCHED TO 7091 NORTH OUTRIGGER TERRACE IN CITRUS SPRINGS IN REFERENCE TO A BATTERY THAT HAD ALREADY OCCURRED. UPON ARRIVAL I MADE CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM, DUANE DYLAN STARKEY, WHO ADVISED THAT HE WAS PUNCHED IN THE FACE AGAINST HIS WILL BY THE DEFENDANT, MICHAEL BROWN. THE VICTIM SAID HE WAS AT HIS GIRLFRIEND'S RESIDENCE, WHICH IS ALSO THE PAST RESIDENCE OF THE DEFENDANT/INCIDENT LOCATION, WHEN THE DEFENDANT CAME TO THE RESIDENCE TO CUT THE GRASS.
