ON 112213, I WAS DISPATCHED TO BELKS DEPARTMENT STORE LOCATED AT 1801 NW HIGHWAY 19 IN CRYSTAL RIVER, IN REFERENCE TO A SHOPLIFTING IN PROGRESS. UPON MY ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE COMPLAINANT/LOSS PREVENTION OFFICER, MS ELSE EAKINS, WHERE SHE ADVISED THAT SHE HAD A BLACK MALE SUBJECT DETAINED.

THE COMPLAINANT ADVISED THAT THE TWO SUBJECTS THEN EXITED OUT THE DOORS, PASSING ALL POINTS OF SALE, WITH NO ATTEMPT TO PAY FOR ANY OF THE MERCHANDISE. THE COMPLAINANT STATED THAT SHE AND THE STORE MANAGER APPROACHED THE TWO SUBJECTS OUTSIDE OF THE STORE AND ASKED THEM TO RETURN TO THE STORE.

THE COMPLAINANT STATED THAT THE MALE SUBJECT RELEASED THE SHOPPING CART AND STOPPED RUNNING, BUT THE FEMALE SUBJECT GOT AWAY. THE COMPLAINANT STATED THAT SHE THEN ESCORTED THE MALE SUBJECT TO THE LOSS PREVENTION OFFICE WITHOUT INCIDENT.

I RELAYED THIS DESCRIPTION TO THE OTHER DEPUTIES IN THE AREA, WHO "BOLO'D" THE PARKING LOT FOR THE FEMALE, WHICH MET WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE MALE SUBJECT, LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT, MR TERRANCE BOONE. I READ THE DEFENDANT HIS MIRANDA RIGHTS VIA PREPRINTED AGENCY CARD AND ASKED IF HE ASKED HIM IF HE WISHED TO SPEAK WITH ME AT THIS TIME, TO WHICH HE ADVISED THAT HE WOULD NOT SPEAK WITH ME.

THE COMPLAINANT ADVISED THAT WHEN SHE GETS A PICTURE OF THE FEMALE SUSPECT SHE WILL EMAIL IT TO ME, AT WHICH TIME I WILL SEND OUT AN AGENCY WIDE "BOLO". THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN ADVISED THAT HE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR GRAND THEFT. THE DEFENDANT WAS HANDCUFFED, (DOUBLE LOCKED), BEHIND HIS BACK, SEARCHED, SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY.
