| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: HENRY, JUSTIN (FWC) (AR1338) THE DEFENDANT, MR SAUN EDWARD CHADWICK, DID CORRUPT THE PUBLIC MORALS, OR OUTRAGE THE SENSE OF PUBLIC DECENCY, OR AFFECT THE PEACE AND QUIET OF PERSONS WHO MAY WITNESS THEM, OR ENGAGE IN BRAWLING OR FIGHTING, OR ENGAGED IN SUCH CONDUCT AS TO CONSTITUTE A BREACH OF PEACE OR DISORDERLY CONDUCT, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 877.03. ON MAY 26, 2012 I, OFFICER JUSTIN HENRY, OF THE FLORIDA FISH AND WILDLIFE CONSERVATION COMMISSION, WAS ON WATER PATROL ON THE HOMOSASSA RIVER. AT APPROXIMATELY 1600 HOURS WHILE PULLING ALONGSIDE A RED AND WHITE PONTOON TYPE VESSEL TO PERFORM A BOATING SAFETY INSPECTION, I MADE CONTACT WITH MS DAWN CHADWICK AND THE DEFENDANT, MR SAUN CHADWICK. DURING MY INITIAL BOATING SAFETY INSPECTION, THE DEFENDANT BEGAN TO GET BELLIGERENT TOWARDS ME FOR STOPPING HIS VESSEL. MR CHADWICK WAS ADVISED SEVERAL TIMES THAT HE NEEDED TO CALM DOWN AND NOT INTERFERE WITH MY INSPECTION. WHILE GOING THROUGH SAFETY EQUIPMENT, I SUSPECTED THE OPERATOR TO BE IMPAIRED. I HIPPED TOWED THE VESSEL INTO TRADEWINDS CANAL, AND BEGAN SOBRIETY TASKS ON MS CHADWICK. WHILE TRYING TO ADMINISTER SOBRIETY TASKS, THE DEFENDANT CONTINUED TO INTERRUPT AND ATTEMPT TO COACH MS CHADWICK THROUGH THE TASKS, EVEN AFTER I ASKED HIM TO STOP. THE DEFENDANT BEGAN CURSING AT ME SAYING THAT THE ONLY REASON THAT I HAD A JOB WAS BECAUSE OF HIM, AND BECAUSE HE SERVED IN THE MILITARY, AND, âLOOK AT WHAT THE FUCK YOU ARE DOING TO ME NOW.â A VESSEL PASSED BY US IN THE CANAL, AND THE DEFENDANT TOLD THEM TO MIND THEIR, âOWN FUCKING BUSINESS,â AND FLIPPED THEM THE BIRD (DISPLAYED HIS MIDDLE FINGER IN AN OFFENSIVE GESTURE). THE DEFENDANT THEN BEGAN TRYING TO GET THE OTHER BOAT TO COME BACK AND FIGHT HIM. THE BOAT WAS FILLED WITH MIDDLE AGED MEN AND WOMEN. WHILE THESE EVENTS TRANSPIRED, PROPERTY OWNERS USING THE POOL AT TRADEWINDS BEGAN TO ASK THE DEFENDANT TO SETTLE DOWN, AS THEY HAD SMALL CHILDREN IN THE POOL. THE DEFENDANT WAS CURSING AT THEM AND SAYING, âWHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU LOOKING AT?â DURING THIS ENTIRE COURSE OF EVENTS, I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT SEVERAL TIMES THAT HE WOULD BE HANDCUFFED AND CHARGED WITH INTERFERENCE AND BREACH OF THE PEACE IF HE CONTINUED TO BEHAVE DISRUPTIVELY AND INTERFERE WITH MY INSPECTION OF THEIR VEHICLE, AND MS CHADWICKâS SOBRIETY TESTING. THE DEFENDANT CONTINUED TO DISRUPT MY INVESTIGATION, AND I HAD TO CONTINUALLY STOP TO CONTROL HIM. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN ARRESTED, AND PLACED IN HANDCUFFS, DOUBLE LOCKED BEHIND HIS BACK, AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BREACH OF THE PEACE, PER FSS 877.03, AND INTERFERENCE WITH A FWS INVESTIGATION, PER FSS 379.33(1). |
