| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: HOWARD, RUSSELL 0297 (AR08103738) DID UNLAWFULLY COMMIT BATTERY UPON THE VICTIM BY ACTUALLY AND INTENTIONALLY TOUCHING OR STRIKING SAID PERSON AGAINST SAID PERSON'S WILL, OR BY INTENTIONALLY CAUSING BODILY HARM, TO WIT: SNATCHING A BASEBALL CAP OFF THE VICTIM'S HEAD AND SHOVING THE VICTIM, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 784.03(1)(A)(1). ON 061408, I WAS DISPATCHED TO 240 SOUTH OTIS AVENUE IN REFERENCE TO AN ALLEGED BATTERY WHICH HAD OCCURRED. UPON ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM WHO ADVISED THAT PRIOR TO MY ARRIVAL HE HAD GONE TO HIS GIRLFRIEND'S RESIDENCE AT 210 SOUTH OTIS AVENUE TO ADVISE HIS SISTER THAT SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HOME IN 30 MINUTES. AT THIS TIME, THE DEFENDANT, MR THOMAS MUNDORFF, BEGAN YELLING PROFANITY AT THE VICTIM AND THEN SNATCHED THE BASEBALL CAP OFF THE VICTIM'S HEAD, PULLING HAIRS OUT OF THE VICTIM'S HEAD, AND THEN TOLD THE VICTIM IF HE WANTED THE HAT BACK TO COME AND GET IT. AT THIS TIME, THE VICTIM PROCEEDED TO WALK TO PICK UP HIS HAT AND WAS THEN SHOVED BACKWARDS BY THE DEFENDANT TWICE. AT THIS TIME, HE LEFT AND HE WENT TO HIS FRIEND'S RESIDENCE LOCATED AT 240 SOUTH OTIS AVENUE AND CONTACTED LAW ENFORCEMENT. THIS DEPUTY THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM'S GIRLFRIEND WHO IS THE MINOR CHILD OF THE DEFENDANT. SHE ADVISED THE SAME OCCURRENCE OF EVENTS AND CORROBORATED THE VICTIM'S STORY. I ALSO MADE CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM'S SISTER, WHO WAS ALSO A WITNESS TO THE INCIDENT, AND WHO CORROBORATED THE VICTIM'S STATEMENT. CONTACT WAS MADE WITH THE DEFENDANT. I ASKED HIM WHAT HAPPENED TO WHICH HE STATED HE HAD SNATCHED THE VICTIM'S HAT OFF HIS HEAD BECAUSE OF EARLIER PROBLEMS WITH THE VICTIM AND THAT THE VICTIM OWED HIM MONEY SO HE WAS GOING TO KEEP THE HAT AS COLLATERAL. HE ADVISED HE DID PUSH THE VICTIM BECAUSE HE WAS ON HIS PROPERTY. HOWEVER, HIS SEQUENCE OF EVENTS WERE DIFFERENT THAN THE TWO OTHER WITNESSES AND THE VICTIM'S STATEMENT. THE DEFENDANT WAS ARRESTED FOR BATTERY ON THE VICTIM AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR FURTHER PROCESSING. THE VICTIM AS WELL AS THE WITNESSES GAVE WRITTEN STATEMENTS AS TO WHAT HAD OCCURRED. THE VICTIM WAS ISSUED AN AGENCY CASE CARD BEARING THE CASE NUMBER. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $500 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
