ON 010513 AT APPROXIMATELY 1113 HOURS, I WAS DISPATCHED TO WAL-MART SUPER CENTER AT 2461 EAST GULF TO LAKE HIGHWAY, INVERNESS, IN REFERENCE TO A SHOPLIFTER IN CUSTODY. UPON MY ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE COMPLAINANT/LOSS PREVENTION MANAGER, MR JOE COMPOSTELLA. THE COMPLAINANT ADVISED THAT ON 010513, HE OBSERVED AN UNIDENTIFIED BLACK MALE, WHO WAS LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT, MR SHYZZAM SHACKLEFORD JR, SELECT THREE XBOX GAMES IN THE ELECTRONICS DEPARTMENT. THE COMPLAINANT FURTHER ADVISED THAT THE DEFENDANT THEN WALKED OVER TO THE HOUSE WARES DEPARTMENT AND CONCEALED THE XBOX GAMES IN HIS JACKET POCKET, AT WHICH TIME, THE DEFENDANT THEN PROCEEDED TO THE FRONT OF THE STORE, WHERE THE DEFENDANT MADE CONTACT WITH AN UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE SUBJECT, WHO WAS PUSHING A SHOPPING CART AND THEY BOTH WALKED TO THE FRONT REGISTERS. THE COMPLAINANT OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT PAY FOR THE ITEMS INSIDE OF THE SHOPPING CART AND TO NOT PURCHASE THE THREE XBOX GAMES. THE DEFENDANT THEN EXITED THE STORE PASSING ALL FINAL POINTS OF SALE WITHOUT PURCHASING THE XBOX GAMES. THE COMPLAINANT THEN STOPPED THE DEFENDANT OUT IN FRONT OF THE STORE AND IDENTIFIED HIMSELF AS LOSS PREVENTION AND THEN ESCORTED THE DEFENDANT TO THE LOSS PREVENTION OFFICE. WHILE INSIDE THE LOSS PREVENTION OFFICE THE DEFENDANT THEN HANDED OVER THE THREE XBOX GAMES VALUED AT $19.96 EACH THAT WERE IN HIS JACKET POCKET AND A PACK OF MULTICOLORED HAIR SCRUNCHES THAT WERE ALSO IN HIS JACKET POCKET VALUED AT $5.48. THE TOTAL VALUE AMOUNT FOR THE ITEMS WAS $65.36. THE COMPLAINANT THEN HANDED ME A SWORN WRITTEN STATEMENT FORM THAT HE HAD COMPLETED, WHICH WAS LATER TURNED OVER TO CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE RECORDS. THE COMPLAINANT ADVISED THAT THE VIDEO SURVEILLANCE WAS NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME, HOWEVER HE WOULD CONTACT THIS AGENCY WHEN IT WAS READY TO BE COLLECTED. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT AND INTRODUCED MYSELF AND READ HIM HIS MIRANDA WARNINGS VIA PREPRINTED AGENCY CARD. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE UNDERSTOOD HIS RIGHTS AND IF HE WISHED TO SPEAK WITH ME. AT THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT ADVISED THAT HE DID UNDERSTAND HIS RIGHTS AND DID WISH TO SPEAK WITH ME. THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT HE WAS VISITING HIS GIRLFRIEND FROM OUT OF TOWN FOR THE WEEKEND AND THEY WENT SHOPPING AT WAL-MART. HE STATED THAT HE GOT âGREEDYâ AND SELECTED THREE XBOX GAMES, TOOK THEM OUT OF THEIR CASES AND PLACED THEM IN HIS JACKET POCKET, ALONG WITH A PACK OF MULTI COLORED SCRUNCHES THAT HE HAD SELECTED AND WAS ATTEMPTING TO CONCEAL THEM. THE DEFENDANT WAS PROVIDED A SWORN WRITTEN STATEMENT FOR WHICH HE COMPLETED AND SIGNED THAT WAS LATER TURNED OVER TO CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE RECORDS. I THEN ADVISED THE DEFENDANT THAT HE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR RETAIL PETIT THEFT. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN HANDCUFFED BEHIND HIS BACK (DOUBLE LOCKED) AND PLACED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. A CASE CARD WAS GIVEN TO THE COMPLAINANT BEARING MY NAME AND THIS CASE NUMBER. THE DEFENDANTâS BOND WAS SET AT $500.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
