ON 031511 I RESPONDED TO 66 SOUTH FILLMORE STREET IN BEVERLY HILLS IN REFERENCE TO A CRIMINAL MISCHIEF. UPON ARRIVAL, I SPOKE WITH DEPUTY GREATREX WHO ADVISED THAT HE HAD MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT, MR STEVEN ADKINS, AFTER RESPONDING TO THE INCIDENT ADDRESS. DEPUTY GREATREX ADVISED THE DEFENDANT HAD VANDALIZED THE RESIDENCE, WHICH WAS HEARD AND OBSERVED BY WITNESSES WHO KNOW THE DEFENDANT PERSONALLY AND LIVE NEXT DOOR. THE DEFENDANT TOLD DEPUTY GREATREX THAT HE DOES NOT LIVE AT THAT RESIDENCE, BUT COMES TO VISIT THE VICTIMS DAUGHTER, MS PATRICIA GIOIA, WHO DOES RESIDE AT THIS RESIDENCE. HOWEVER, MS PATRICIA GIOIA WAS NOT AT HOME DURING THE INCIDENT OR DURING OUR INITIAL INVOLVEMENT. I MADE TELEPHONE CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM, MS MAUREEN GIOIA, WHO IS THE HOMEOWNER; HOWEVER, SHE LIVES IN HERNANDO COUNTY. SHE STATED THAT MOST OF THE FURNITURE IN THE RESIDENCE BELONGS TO HER. I THEN SPOKE WITH WITNESS, MR GREG WHITAKER, WHO IS THE DEFENDANT'S EMPLOYER AND THE NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR TO THE INCIDENT LOCATION. HE STATED THE DEFENDANT BECAME VERY ANGRY AFTER ARRIVING AT THE INCIDENT LOCATION AND FINDING OUT THAT MS PATRICIA GIOIA WAS NOT AT HOME, DUE TO BEING OUT WITH OTHER MALE SUBJECTS. MR WHITAKER STATED THE DEFENDANT HAD BEGUN DRINKING AND HAD BECOME BELLIGERENT. MR WHITAKER WAS THE ONLY ONE AT THE RESIDENCE AND COULD HEAR GLASS BREAKING AND THINGS BANGING AND CRASHING AND HE ALSO OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT DAMAGING THE VICTIM'S PROPERTY. ANOTHER WITNESS WHO RESIDES WITH MR WHITAKER, MS SHERRIE WOODS, ALSO CORROBORATED MR WHITAKER'S STATEMENT. I OBSERVED A DINING ROOM CHAIR IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE FRONT LIVING ROOM WINDOW BROKEN OUT AND THE SCREEN DAMAGED. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO OBSERVE THE DAMAGE DONE INSIDE THE RESIDENCE IN THE LIVING ROOM AND KITCHEN AREA FROM THE FRONT WINDOW, DUE TO THE DEFENDANT LETTING THE DOG RUN LOOSE IN THE RESIDENCE AND OUT TO THE BACK YARD THROUGH THE SLIDING GLASS DOOR. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED THAT THE DOG COULD BE VICIOUS. THE LIVING ROOM AND KITCHEN WAS IN COMPLETE DISARRAY. I COULD SEE BROKEN GLASS THROUGHOUT THE ROOMS AND FURNITURE TURNED OVER. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR CRIMINAL MISCHIEF, HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) AND SECURED IN MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY (CCJ) FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $1,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE.
