ON 090313, I RESPONDED TO 11947 WEST BALD EAGLE COURT IN CRYSTAL RIVER IN REFERENCE TO A THEFT ALREADY OCCURRED. UPON ARRIVAL AT APPROXIMATELY 2140 HOURS, CONTACT WAS MADE WITH THE VICTIM, MS SUZANNE HOOK. SHE STATED EARLIER ON IN THE EVENING OF 090313, HER FIANCÉ, MR CHRISTOPHER WARRICK, HAD BECOME AWARE OF A MISSING RING THAT WAS LOCATED IN THEIR BEDROOM ON A DRESSER THAT WAS KEPT IN A JEWELRY BOX. THE VICTIM STATED THIS BEDROOM WAS LOCKED AT ALL TIMES. DUE TO THE RING BEING MISSING AND THE DOOR BEING LOCKED AT ALL TIMES WHEN THE VICTIM IS AWAY FROM THE RESIDENCE, SHE ENTERED THE ROOM OF THE DEFENDANT, MR RAYBURN CORBIN, IN AN ATTEMPT TO LOCATE THE RING. AFTER ENTERING THE ROOM, THE VICTIM OBSERVED A SUITCASE. UPON OPENING THE SUITCASE, SHE OBSERVED TWO CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIES CONTAINING ARTICLES OF JEWELRY. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION OF THE JEWELRY, SHE NOTICED A 10 KARAT GOLD NECKLACE VALUED AT $300.00. THE VICTIM CONFIRMED THE NECKLACE WAS HERS BY DISCOLORATION ON THE CLAW THAT HELD THE NECKLACE TOGETHER. SHE THEN OBSERVED ONE GOLD 14 KARAT EARRING VALUED AT $50.00, WHICH SHE ALSO STATED SHE KNEW FOR A FACT WAS HERS. SHE ALSO FOUND A 10 KARAT GOLD SUN PENDANT VALUED AT $50.00. TO ENSURE THESE ITEMS WERE INDEED HER ARTICLES OF JEWELRY, SHE CHECKED HER JEWELRY BOX, WHICH WAS LOCATED IN THE MASTER BEDROOM SITTING ON TOP OF HER DRESSER. UPON CHECKING THE BOX, SHE FOUND SHE WAS IN FACT MISSING THESE ITEMS OF JEWELRY. AT THAT TIME, THE VICTIM MADE CONTACT WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT AND AWAITED MY ARRIVAL. WHILE SPEAKING WITH THE VICTIM, SHE STATED THE ONLY PEOPLE WITH ACCESS TO THE RESIDENCE WERE HER TENANTS, BEING HER DAUGHTER AND HER DAUGHTERâS BOYFRIEND, MR RAYBURN CORBIN. SHE ADVISED THEY HAVE BEEN STAYING THERE SINCE APPROXIMATELY APRIL AND HAVE NEVER HAD PERMISSION TO ENTER THE BEDROOM OF THE VICTIM. WHILE SPEAKING WITH THE VICTIM IN THE KITCHEN, THE DEFENDANT AND THE VICTIMâS DAUGHTER CAME HOME. UPON THE DEFENDANT ENTERING THE KITCHEN, THE VICTIM TOOK POSSESSION OF THE CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIES THAT HAD HER JEWELRY WHICH HAD BEEN LOCATED IN HIS ROOM AND CONFRONTED HIM ABOUT THE JEWELRY. AT THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT STATED TO THE VICTIM HE WAS VERY SORRY AND THAT HE WAS JUST TRYING TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT AND GET ON HIS FEET. AT THAT TIME, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT. I THEN READ THE DEFENDANT MIRANDA FROM A PRE-PRINTED AGENCY CARD AT APPROXIMATELY 2215 HOURS. UPON AGREEING TO SPEAK WITH ME, HE STATED HE DID MAKE ENTRY INTO THE VICTIMâS ROOM WITHOUT HER PERMISSION AND REMOVED THE ARTICLES OF JEWELRY PREVIOUSLY DESCRIBED. THE DEFENDANT THEN STATED HE TOOK THE ITEMS IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET HIMSELF BACK ON HIS FEET AND HE FULLY INTENDED TO COMPENSATE THE VICTIM. I COLLECTED SWORN WRITTEN STATEMENTS FROM BOTH THE VICTIM AND THE DEFENDANT AT 2259 HOURS. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) AND SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. HE WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING WHERE HIS BOND WAS SET AT $2,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
