| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: CROSNOE, ROBERT 0234 (AR16-18907) FERRER, FRANCISCO 1424 DID UNLAWFULLY COMMIT BATTERY UPON THE VICTIM BY ACTUALLY AND INTENTIONALLY TOUCHING OR STRIKING SAID PERSON AGAINST SAID PERSON'S WILL, OR BY INTENTIONALLY CAUSING BODILY HARM, TO WIT: THREW A FULL OPEN CAN OF BEER AT THE VICTIM AND HIT THE VICTIM ON THE BACK, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 784.03(1)(A)(1). ON 040316 AT APPROXIMATELY 2030 HOURS, I WAS DISPATCHED TO 923 RUSSELL AVENUE IN INVERNESS, IN REFERENCE TO A DISTURBANCE. UPON ARRIVAL, I MET WITH MR DARIUS OSTERLOH, WHO WAS LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE VICTIM. THE VICTIM ADVISED THAT MR ROBERT WASHINGTON, WHO WAS LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT, WAS MAKING THREATS TO HIM AND BEING VERBALLY ABUSIVE. I MET WITH THE DEFENDANT TO GET HIS SIDE OF THE STORY. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT TO WALK WITH ME TO THE ROAD WHERE WE COULD SPEAK IN PRIVATE. THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT HE AND THE VICTIM DID NOT GET ALONG AND HAD BEEN ARGUING ALL NIGHT. AT THAT TIME, A SMALL BROWN DOG CAME OUT OF THE RESIDENCE AND WAS WALKING AROUND US IN THE STREET. THE VICTIM WALKED UP AND RETRIEVED HIS DOG. THE DEFENDANT IMMEDIATELY CALLED HIM A ''RETARD''. THE VICTIM PICKED THE DOG UP AND UPON TURNING AROUND AND WALKING BACK TO THE RESIDENCE, THE DEFENDANT TOOK A STEP TOWARDS THE VICTIM AND THREW A SILVER 16 OUNCE ICEHOUSE EDGE BEER CAN, WHICH WAS FULL OF BEER AND OPENED. UPON STRIKING THE VICTIM IN THE BACK, THE BEER CAN EXPLODED FROM THE IMPACT. I WAS ONLY STANDING APPROXIMATELY THREE FEET AWAY AND WITNESSED THE ENTIRE BATTERY TAKE PLACE. AT THAT TIME, I PLACED THE DEFENDANT UNDER ARREST FOR BATTERY, I PLACED HIM IN HANDCUFFS (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK AND ADVISED HIM THAT HE WAS UNDER ARREST FOR BATTERY. I PLACED THE DEFENDANT IN MY PATROL VEHICLE. I HAD THE VICTIM SHOW ME HIS BACK WHERE I COULD VERY CLEARLY SEE A SWOLLEN RED AREA UNDER THE VICTIM'S RIGHT SHOULDER BLADE AND IT TRAVELED AT AN ANGLE TOWARDS HIS SPINE. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $1,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
