ON 032510, I RESPONDED TO 6370 WEST TANGERINE LANE IN CRYSTAL RIVER IN REFERENCE TO A THEFT THAT ALREADY OCCURRED ALONG WITH DEPUTY GRAMLICH. UPON ARRIVAL, WE MET THE VICTIM WHO STATED THAT HE WAS AT WORK BUT HIS WIFE CALLED TO INFORM HIM THERE WERE TWO MALES AT THEIR RESIDENCE. SHE ADVISED HIM THAT IT APPEARED THEY WERE LOADING UP AN AIR-CONDITIONING UNIT WHICH THEY KEPT BY THEIR SHED IN THEIR YARD THAT HE HAD PURCHASED FOR A RENTAL UNIT, HOWEVER, THE UNIT WAS NOT CURRENTLY INSTALLED AT THE TIME. HE STATED HIS WIFE INFORMED HIM THAT SHE SAW A RED CHEVY S-10 PICKUP OCCUPIED BY TWO WHITE MALES LEAVE THE YARD WITH THE AIR-CONDITIONING UNIT IN THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. THE VICTIM THEN WENT TO 6370 WEST TANGERINE LANE AND MET THE TWO MALES WHO HAD TAKEN THE AIR-CONDITIONING UNIT. WHEN HE ARRIVED, THE AIR-CONDITIONING UNIT COILS WERE BEING CUT OUT AND THE COMPRESSOR REMOVED. THERE WERE TWO WITNESSES WHO WATCHED THE MALES CUT OUT THE COILS AND REMOVE THE COMPRESSOR. THE WITNESSES IDENTIFIED THESE TWO MALES AS BEING MR NATHAN ROWE AND MR JOHN LEGROS. THE VICTIM STATED AS HE CONFRONTED THE TWO MEN ABOUT THE AIR-CONDITIONING UNIT A VERBAL ALTERCATION OCCURRED, AT WHICH TIME, MR ROWE AND MR LEGROS LEFT IN THE RED CHEVY S-10 PICKUP TRUCK. AT THIS TIME, THIS AGENCY WAS NOTIFIED. A TELEPHONE CALL WAS MADE TO MR LEGROS' CELLULAR TELEPHONE AND I ASKED HIM TO COME BACK TO THE SCENE WHICH HE DID ALONG WITH MR ROWE. DETECTIVE D STRICKLAND AND DETECTIVE SEROCKI WERE NOTIFIED AND THEY RESPONDED TO 6370 WEST TANGERINE LANE TO OBSERVE THE AIR-CONDITIONING UNIT IN QUESTION. I SPOKE TO MR ROWE AND ASKED HIM WHAT HE WAS DOING WITH THE AIR-CONDITIONING UNIT. HE STATED HE HAD MADE A DEAL WITH THE VICTIM TO EXCHANGE THE AIR-CONDITIONING UNIT FOR SOME USED CHAIN LINK FENCE. MR ROWE DID STATE TO ME THAT HE AND MR JOHN LEGROS WENT TO THE VICTIM'S RESIDENCE AND LOADED THE AIR-CONDITIONING UNIT IN THE RED CHEVY S-10 AND REMOVED IT FROM THE PROPERTY. MR ROWE ALSO ADVISED ME THAT DURING THEIR VERBAL CONFRONTATION THE VICTIM STATED HE HAD GRABBED THE WRONG AIR-CONDITIONING UNIT, HOWEVER, THE VICTIM STATED THERE WAS ONLY ONE AIR-CONDITIONING UNIT THERE. PRIOR TO MY LEAVING THE SCENE, DETECTIVE STRICKLAND SPOKE TO MR LEGROS AND ASKED HIM IF HE WAS WITH MR ROWE DURING THE TIME THE AIR-CONDITIONING UNIT WAS BEING PICKED UP AND MR LEGROS ADVISED THAT HE WAS NOT WITH MR ROWE HE STATED HE WAS ON A JOB SITE LOCATED ON ELM STREET. DETECTIVE STRICKLAND THEN WENT AND QUESTIONED MR ROWE AND ASKED HIM IF MR LEGROS WAS WITH HIM DURING THE TIME THE AIR-CONDITIONING UNIT WAS PICKED UP IN THE VICTIM'S YARD AND MR ROWE STATED THAT MR JOHN LEGROS WAS WITH HIM. DETECTIVE STRICKLAND READ MIRANDA TO BOTH PARTIES PRIOR TO QUESTIONING FROM AN AGENCY ISSUED PREPRINTED MIRANDA CARD. AT THIS TIME, BOTH SUBJECTS WERE PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED). ONE WAS PLACED IN THE BACK SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND THE OTHER WAS PLACED IN THE REAR OF DEPUTY GRAMLICH'S PATROL VEHICLE, SEARCHED, AND TAKEN TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING.
