I WAS ADVISED BY DISPATCH THAT TWO SUBJECTS WERE BANGING ON THE DOOR OF LOT 27 AND JUMPING FENCES IN THE MOBILE HOME PARK. DISPATCH ALSO ADVISED THAT THE SUBJECTS WERE KNOCKING ON SEVERAL OTHER DOORS IN THE MOBILE HOME PARK. UPON ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH SERGEANT (SGT) FIELDS WHO ADVISED THAT A WHITE MALE SUBJECT WEARING A WHITE SHIRT AND BLUE JEANS HAD FLED ON FOOT IN A NORTHBOUND DIRECTION WHEN HE SAW HIM/SGT FIELDS ARRIVE. I IMMEDIATELY CONDUCTED A SEARCH OF THE AREA. UPON CHECKING UNDER NUMEROUS TRAILERS AND VEHICLES FOR THE SUBJECT, I WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE HIM. WHILE WORKING MY WAY BACK TO THE INCIDENT LOCATION, I SAW SGT FIELDS ENGAGED WITH A SUBJECT, WHO MATCHED THE DESCRIPTION, ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE MOBILE HOME PARK, NEAR US HIGHWAY 19. IT APPEARED, AT THAT TIME, THAT SGT FIELDS WAS PULLING THE SUBJECT UP FROM THE GROUND DUE TO HIM CONCEALING HIMSELF UNDER A VEHICLE. I THEN RESPONDED TO ASSIST SGT FIELDS IN DETAINING THE SUBJECT WHERE I SAW GRASS AND WET STAINS ON THE FRONT OF THE SUBJECTâS SHIRT. IT APPEARED THAT THE SUBJECT HAD BEEN LYING ON HIS BELLY IN THE GRASS UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE SUBJECT WAS THEN IDENTIFIED AS MR STEVEN TALLEY BY HIS FLORIDA DRIVERâS LICENSE. I WAS ADVISED BY SGT FIELDS THAT WHILE INTERVIEWING ANOTHER SUBJECT WHO WAS INVOLVED IN THE INCIDENT, NOW IDENTIFIED AS MR JEFFREY HORRELL, HE OBSERVED THE SAME SUBJECT WHO HAD PREVIOUSLY RUN FROM HIM RUN OUT FROM BEHIND TRAILER 27 AND FLEE IN AN EASTERLY DIRECTION, TOWARD US HIGHWAY 19. SGT FIELDS STATED HE ORDERED THE SUBJECT TO STOP. SGT FIELDS STATED HE IDENTIFIED HIMSELF TO THE SUBJECT BUT THE SUBJECT KEPT RUNNING. THE SUBJECT THEN ATTEMPTED TO HIDE UNDERNEATH A VEHICLE BEFORE SGT FIELDS DETAINED HIM. I THEN INTERVIEWED MR HORRELL WHO STATED HE HAD MET MR TALLEY AT COLONEL FROGâS EARLIER IN THE NIGHT AND DECIDED TO HANG OUT WITH HIM AFTER THE BAR HAD CLOSED. MR HORRELL STATED THAT MR TALLEY TOLD HIM HE WANTED TO FIND WOMEN FOR THE NIGHT, AT WHICH TIME MR HORRELL ADVISED HE TOLD MR TALLEY THAT HE KNEW WHERE TO FIND SOME GIRLS. HE STATED THEY WALKED TO BELL VILLA MOBILE HOME PARK. MR HORRELL STATED THAT WHILE WALKING TO THE PARK, MR TALLEY TOLD HIM THAT HE NEEDED TO GET SOME âPUSSYâ AND IF THE COPS SHOWED UP, HE WOULD RUN. I INTERVIEWED THE COMPLAINANT, MS TINA WILLIAMS, WHO STATED THAT TWO MEN CAME TO HER RESIDENCE, UNWANTED, AND STARTED BANGING ON HER DOORS. SHE STATED SHE DID KNOW MR HORRELL BUT THAT SHE DID NOT KNOW MR TALLEY. SHE STATED WHEN SHE WOULD NOT OPEN HER DOOR, THEY STARTED KNOCKING ON OTHER DOORS IN THE AREA BUT COULD NOT GET AN ANSWER FROM ANY OF THE OTHER RESIDENCES. I INTERVIEWED MR TaLLEY AFTER READING HIM HIS MIRANDA WARNINGS FROM A PREPRINTED AGENCY CARD. MR TALLEY STATED HE UNDERSTOOD HIS RIGHTS AND AGREED TO SPEAK WITH ME. MR TALLEY STATED HE HAD DONE NOTHING WRONG, OTHER THAN RUNNING FROM THE COPS. HE STATED HE HEARD SGT FIELDSâ COMMAND FOR HIM TO STOP, HOWEVER, HE STATED HE HAD DONE NOTHING WRONG AND ADMITTED IT WAS STUPID OF HIM TO RUN. MR TALLEY APPEARED TO BE HIGHLY INTOXICATED AND ALSO COULD NOT GIVE A VALID REASON FOR BEING IN BELL VILLA MOBILE HOME PARK. MR TALLEY WAS THEN PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR LOITERING AND PROWLING. HE WAS HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK, SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. UPON ARRIVAL, HE WAS BOOKED AND HELD ON A $500.00 BOND, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
