ON 072210 AT APPROXIMATELY 1600 HOURS, I WAS TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON OAKLAWN STREET IN HOMOSASSA. I AM A CERTIFIED RADAR LASER OPERATOR IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND DID OBSERVE AN ORANGE CAR TRAVELING EAST ON OAKLAWN AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I ESTIMATED THE SPEED TO BE 70 MPH IN A 35 MPH SPEED ZONE. I ACTIVATED MY FRONT RADAR ANTENNA AND RECEIVED A CLEAR AUDIO DOPPLER TONE ALONG with A VISUAL READING OF 66 MILE PER HOUR. I THEN TURNED MY VEHICLE AROUND IN AN ATTEMPT TO PERFORM A TRAFFIC STOP. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CATCH UP TO THE SAID VEHICLE, I DID OBSERVE A LARGE CLOUD OF DUST NEAR STONEWOOD POINT AND THEN OBSERVED SAID VEHICLE TO HAVE CRASHED AND WAS IN A YARD AT THE INTERSECTION OF OAKLAWN AND SOUTH STONEWOOD POINT. I OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT TO BE CLIMBING OUT OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE ALONG WITH TWO PASSENGERS EXITING THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I INQUIRED WHETHER ANY PARTIES NEEDED EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES (EMS) TO WHICH THEY ALL REFUSED. I DID OBSERVE THE VEHICLE TO HAVE APPROXIMATELY $1,000.00 DAMAGE AND A POWER POLE WHICH THE VEHICLE HAD STRUCK WAS ALSO DAMAGED; WITHLACOOCHEE ELECTRIC COMPANY ESTIMATING THE DAMAGE AT $1,000.00. I THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT WHY HE WAS DRIVING SO FAST, TO WHICH HE REPLIED, HE WAS SORRY AND THAT HE "SCREWED UP". HE LATER ADVISED MYSELF AND DEPUTY HORTON THAT HE WAS DRIVING AT AN EXCESSIVE RATE OF SPEED OVER THE HILL AT ORWELL AND OAKLAWN, "BECAUSE IT'S FUN". THE DEFENDANT ALSO ADVISED THAT AFTER HE SAW MY PATROL VEHICLE HE SPED UP IN AN ATTEMPT TO PULL INTO HIS DRIVEWAY BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO CATCH HIM. DEPUTY HORTON THEN RESPONDED TO THE SCENE AND CONDUCTED THE TRAFFIC CRASH INVESTIGATION. DUE TO WITNESS ONE BEING THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OVER TO HIM. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED DOUBLE LOCKED, AND CHARGED WITH RECKLESS DRIVING. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $250.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE.
