UPON ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH DEPUTY ALEXANDER AND SHE STATED THAT SHE WITNESSED DEFENDANT NUMBER ONE, MR DAVID ROGERS, PUNCH VICTIM NUMBER ONE WITH A CLOSED FIST ONE TIME IN THE FACE. AT THE TIME OF MY ARRIVAL DEPUTY ALEXANDER HAD ALREADY PLACED DEFENDANT NUMBER ONE INTO HANDCUFFS IN ORDER TO DETAIN HIM. I OBTAINED TWO OTHER WITNESSES STATEMENTS WHICH CORROBORATED THE INCIDENT THAT DEPUTY ALEXANDER WITNESSED. THE STATEMENTS WILL LATER BE TURNED INTO THE CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE RECORDS DEPARTMENT. DURING THE INVESTIGATION IT WAS LEARNED THAT DEFENDANT NUMBER TWO, MR THOMAS COCHRAN JR, WAS IN HIS VEHICLE TRYING TO EXIT THE PARKING LOT SOUTH OF THE AUDITORIUM WHERE A CROWD OF PEOPLE WERE COMING TOWARDS THE AUDITORIUM. HE WAS THEN CONFRONTED BY SEVERAL CROWD MEMBERS WHO ADVISED HIM TO STOP AND TURN AROUND IN ORDER TO EXIT THE PARKING LOT IN ANOTHER LOCATION, DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE THAT WERE COMING IN. DEFENDANT NUMBER TWO THEN PROCEEDED TO HEAD SOUTH WHICH LEAD TO THE CHAIN OF EVENTS THAT TRANSPIRED. AT THAT TIME A VERBAL ALTERCATION BETWEEN DEFENDANT NUMBER ONE AND DEFENDANT NUMBER TWO ESCALATED. DEFENDANT NUMBER ONE STATED THAT DEFENDANT NUMBER TWO GRABBED HIS HAND AND AT THAT TIME DEFENDANT NUMBER ONE ACTED IN DEFENSE AND STRUCK DEFENDANT NUMBER TWO, WHILE DEFENDANT NUMBER TWO WAS STILL IN HIS VEHICLE SUBSEQUENTLY CAUSING MINOR REDNESS TO HIS FACE. AT THAT TIME VICTIM NUMBER ONE TRIED TO GET DEFENDANT NUMBER ONE TO LEAVE THE AREA. DURING THIS TIME DEFENDANT NUMBER TWO EXITED HIS VEHICLE AND PUNCHED VICTIM NUMBER TWO IN the FACE WITH A CLOSED FIST CAUSING AN INJURY TO HER NOSE. AT THAT TIME DEFENDANT NUMBER TWO THEN GOT BACK INTO HIS VEHICLE AND LEFT THE SCENE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION IT WAS DETERMINED OF A POSSIBLE LOCATION WHERE DEFENDANT NUMBER TWO RESIDED. DEPUTY BERRIOS THEN RESPONDED TO THE AREA WHICH WE WERE ADVISED DEFENDANT NUMBER TWO LIVED. A SHORT TIME LATER DEPUTY BERRIOS RETURNED WITH DEFENDANT NUMBER TWO WHO WAS THEN POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED BY VICTIM NUMBER TWO AND HER HUSBAND/WITNESS NUMBER FOUR. BOTH DEFENDANTS WERE THEN PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR SIMPLE BATTERY, HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE-LOCKED) BEHIND THEIR BACK. DEFENDANT NUMBER ONE WAS PLACED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE, AND DEFENDANT NUMBER TWO WAS PLACED IN THE REAR SEAT OF DEPUTY BERRIOS PATROL VEHICLE. THEY WERE THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $500.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
