| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: COX, ANDY 0543 (AR09109842) DID UNLAWFULLY RESIST, OBSTRUCT OR OPPOSE DEPUTY COX AND DEPUTY DAVID SEIDENSTUCKER, WHO WERE THEN AND THERE IN THE LAWFUL EXECUTION OF A LEGAL DUTY, OR EXECUTION OF LEGAL PROCESS, TO WIT: AFTER HE WAS TOLD TO STAY SEATED IN THE VESSEL HE STOOD AND TRIED TO RETURNED TO HIS VESSEL I GRABBED HIM BY HIS LEFT ARM AND HE ATTEMPTED TO PULL AWAY WITHOUT OFFERING OR DOING VIOLENCE TO THE PERSON OF SUCH OFFICER, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 843.02. ON 070409 AT APPROXIMATELY 1450 HOURS, I WAS ON WATER PATROL, IN CRYSTAL RIVER IN A MARKED SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT VESSEL. I OBSERVED THE VESSEL BERING FL NUMBER FL6600MV, ANCHORED IN THE SHALLOW AREA. THE DEFENDANT, WHO WAS SEATED BEHIND THE WHEEL WAS LATER IDENTIFIED AS RODERIC LEE SPARKS. THE VESSEL FL NUMBERS WERE IMPROPERLY DISPLAYED BY NOT BEING SPACED. THE SUSPECT WAS ALSO PLAYING THE RADIO EXTREMELY LOUD AND IT COULD BE HEARD FROM A DISTANCE OF OVER 200 FEET. I ASKED THE OPERATOR IF HE WAS THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND HE REPLIED YES. I ASKED TO SEE HIS VESSEL REGISTRATION AND PHOTO IDENTIFICATION. HE BECAME VERY ARGUMENTATIVE, STATING "THIS IS BULL SHIT". AS I CONTINUED THE SAFETY INSPECTION, HE CONTINUED TO BE ARGUMENTATIVE AND STILL HAD NOT PRODUCED PHOTO IDENTIFICATION AND WAS NOT READILY SHOWING ME THE SAFETY EQUIPMENT. I ASKED HIM TO STEP ONTO MY VESSEL AND HAVE A SEAT. HE BECAME VERY ARGUMENTATIVE, SAT DOWN, AND STOOD UP. I PLACE MY HAND AT THE BASE OF HIS COLLAR BONE AND HE ATTEMPTED TO GET UP OUT OF THE SEAT. I INSTINCTIVELY GRABBED HIM BY THE THROAT, SAT HIM DOWN, AND RELEASED MY GRIP. I EXPLAINED TO HIM TO STAY SEATED SEVERAL TIMES. HE CONTINUED TO TRY AND GET UP AND AS SOON AS I TOOK A STEP BACKWARD HE STOOD UP AND TRIED TO GO BACK TO HIS VESSEL. I GRABBED HIM BY HIS LEFT WRIST ATTEMPTING A WRIST LOCK AND HE ATTEMPTED TO PULL AWAY. DUE TO THE SMALL CONFINED SPACE I WRAPPED MY ARMS AROUND HIM PICKED HIM UP AND PLACED HIM ON THE FLOOR OF THE VESSEL. HE WAS HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK AND A LIFE JACKET WAS IMMEDIATELY PLACED ON HIM. HE WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE FEDERAL WILDLIFE PRESERVE BUILDING APPROXIMATELY 200 YARDS AWAY. DEPUTY BARRY TRANSPORTED HIM TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. HE WAS ISSUED CITATION NUMBER V-144631, FOR FL BEING IMPROPERLY DISPLAYED, CITATION NUMBER V-144632, FOR UNSERVICEABLE TYPE FOUR TOWABLE PERSONAL FLOTATION DEVICE, AND CITATION NUMBER V-144633, FOR UNSERVICEABLE LIFE JACKET DUE TO IT ALSO BEING TORN. I WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE ANY FURTHER SAFETY INSPECTION ON THE VESSEL DUE TO THE DEFENDANT RESISTING WITHOUT VIOLENCE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
