| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: FARNHAM, TODD 0368 (AR09109419) DID UNLAWFULLY AND INTENTIONALLY THREATEN BY WORD OR ACT TO DO VIOLENCE TO THE PERSON OF THE VICTIM, COUPLED WITH AN APPARENT ABILITY TO CARRY OUT SAID THREAT, AND UTILIZED A DEADLY WEAPON, TO WIT: BRANDISHED A RIFLE AT THE VICTIM, WITHOUT THE INTENT TO KILL, AND DID AN ACT OR ACTS WHICH CREATED A WELL-FOUNDED FEAR IN THE VICTIM THAT SUCH VIOLENCE WAS IMMINENT, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 784.021(1)(A). ON 060609 AT APPROXIMATELY 1215 HOURS, I WAS DISPATCHED TO A SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE LOCATED AT 3433 SOUTH FAIRWAY TERRACE IN INVERNESS IN REFERENCE TO AN AGGRAVATED ASSAULT WITH A FIREARM THAT ALREADY occurred. UPON ARRIVAL, I MET WITH THE VICTIM, WHO STATED THAT THE DEFENDANT DID EXIT HIS RESIDENCE AFTER VERBAL EXCHANGES OVER THE VICTIM BEING ON THE DEFENDANT'S FRONT LAWN INSTALLING UNDERGROUND CABLE LINE. THE VICTIM THEN STATED THE DEFENDANT CAME OUT OF HIS RESIDENCE, POINTED A RIFLE AT THE VICTIM, THREATENING TO SHOOT HIM IF HE DID NOT GET OUT OF THERE. THE VICTIM STATED HE WAS IN FEAR FOR HIS LIFE WHEN THIS HAPPENED, AND WENT TO HIS VEHICLE AND CALLED LAW ENFORCEMENT. I THEN SPOKE WITH THE DEFENDANT, MR RANDALL GREIG, WHO WAS PRESENT WITH DEPUTY DICAMILLO, 0605. THE DEFENDANT STATED that AFTER VERBAL EXCHANGES BACK AND FORTH, THE VICTIM REFUSED TO LEAVE HIS FRONT PROPERTY AND STOP DIGGING UP HIS LAWN. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED HE DID EXIT HIS RESIDENCE WITH A .22 RIFLE, BUT DID NOT AT ANY TIME POINT THE RIFLE AT THE VICTIM, DID NOT THREATEN TO SHOOT HIM AT ANY TIME AND IT WAS NOT LOADED. THE DEFENDANT ALSO STATED that THE VICTIM TRIED TO GIVE HIM HIS SUPERVISOR'S TELEPHONE NUMBER TO PROVE HE HAD A RIGHT TO BE ON THE EASEMENT DOING HIS JOB, BUT HE REFUSED THE NUMBER AND WANTED PAPERWORK AS PROOF. BOTH THE VICTIM AND THE DEFENDANT FILLED OUT WRITTEN NARRATIVES TO THIS FACT. THE DEFENDANT SHOWED ME THE .22 RIFLE, AT WHICH TIME I CHECKED THE RIFLE, AND IT WAS UNLOADED AS STATED. THE DEFENDANT WAS EXTREMELY COOPERATIVE AND STATED THAT HE KNEW THAT HE SHOULD NOT HAVE COME OUT OF HIS RESIDENCE WITH THE GUN AND THAT IT WAS A "DUMB" THING TO DO, AND APOLOGIZED FOR HIS ACTIONS. AT THAT TIME THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED, DOUBLE-LOCKED AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY WHERE HIS BOND WAS SET AT $7,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE FIREARM WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY BY THIS DEPUTY AND A PROPERTY RECEIPT WAS FILLED OUT, A COPY OF WHICH WAS GIVEN TO DEFENDANT. THE FIREARM WAS LATER TURNED INTO EVIDENCE. THE WRITTEN NARRATIVES WERE TURNED INTO RECORDS. AN AGENCY CASE CARD BEARING MY NAME AND THIS CASE NUMBER WAS GIVEN TO ALL PARTIES. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
