| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: SUDLOW, JAMES 0759 (AR14-10901) (14-86001) DID UNLAWFULLY RESIST, OBSTRUCT OR OPPOSE DEPUTY JAMES SUDLOW, WHO WAS THEN AND THERE IN THE LAWFUL EXECUTION OF A LEGAL DUTY, OR EXECUTION OF LEGAL PROCESS, TO WIT: INVESTIGATING A BURGLARY WITH PROPERTY DAMAGE OVER $1,000.00 WITHOUT OFFERING OR DOING VIOLENCE TO THE PERSON OF SUCH OFFICER, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 843.03. ON 062314, I WAS DISPATCHED TO 3778 SOUTH SONNY TERRACE IN HOMOSASSA IN REFERENCE TO FOLLOWING UP ON A BURGLARY CASE. WHILE THERE, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT, MS RUTH MOBERLEY, WHO'S SON WAS A SUSPECT IN A BURGLARY CASE. WHILE INVESTIGATING THE BURGLARY INCIDENT I HAD ENOUGH PROBABLE CAUSE TO PLACE THE DEFENDANT'S SON UNDER ARREST. THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE INVESTIGATION THE DEFENDANT KEPT ON INTERRUPTING, DEMANDING SHE SPEAK TO HER SON. I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT THAT SHE COULD SPEAK WITH HER SON ONCE I WAS COMPLETED WITH MY PAPERWORK. THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT I AM RACIST BECAUSE SHE IS WHITE AND THAT IT IS NOT FAIR THIS DEPUTY IS LETTING THE BLACK LADY, WHO IS A WITNESS, TALK TO HER SON. I ADVISED HER DUE TO THE FACT THAT SHE AND THE OTHER SUSPECT'S MOTHER GOT IN A VERBAL ARGUMENT WHILE I WAS THERE, THAT THEY WERE GOING TO STAY SEPARATED AS LONG AS I WAS THERE. SHE AGAIN CALLED ME RACIST AND BEGAN MAKING DEROGATORY COMMENTS TOWARDS THE WITNESS WHILE I WAS TRYING TO GET HER INFORMATION. I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT NUMEROUS TIMES THAT SHE NEEDED TO SIT THERE, BE QUITE AND I WOULD GET RIGHT WITH HER. THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE INVESTIGATION, THE DEFENDANT KEPT INTERRUPTING. I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT ONE LAST TIME THAT IF SHE DID NOT STOP THAT I WOULD BE PLACING HER UNDER ARREST FOR OBSTRUCTION. THE DEFENDANT STATED SHE WAS ALLOWED TO SAY WHATEVER SHE WANTED WHENEVER SHE WANTED AND THE LAST TIME SHE CHECKED, BEING DRUNK IN PUBLIC AND CURSING WAS NOT AGAINST THE LAW. AT THAT TIME, I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT SHE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR OBSTRUCTION WHERE SHE WAS HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND THE BACK. SHE ADVISED THAT WAS FINE THAT SHE WILL CALL HER UNCLE, CONGRESSMAN NUGENT, AND SHE WILL GET ME FIRED. I THEN PLACED THE DEFENDANT IN THE REAR OF DEPUTY B HESSE'S PATROL VEHICLE DUE TO THE FACT I HAD TWO JUVENILE DEFENDANTS IN THE BACKSEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. DEPUTY B HESSE THEN TRANSPORTED THE DEFENDANT TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY WHERE I THEN RESPONDED AND CHARGED HER WITH ONE COUNT OF OBSTRUCTION WHERE HER BOND WAS SET AT $1,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
