| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: CREEL, JUSTIN 0661 (AR14-11255) DID UNLAWFULLY, WILLFULLY AND MALICIOUSLY INJURE OR DAMAGE CERTAIN PROPERTY OF THE VICTIM, TO-WIT: PUNCHED THE SIDING ON HER MOBILE HOME LEAVING KNUCKLE IMPRESSIONS, SAID DAMAGE BEING OF A VALUE OF $200.00 OR LESS, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATUTES 806.13(1)(A) AND 806.13(1)(B)1. ON 072014, AT APPROXIMATELY 0400 HOURS, I RESPONDED TO 1266 SOUTH PROSPECT AVENUE, INVERNESS, IN REFERENCE TO A TRESPASSING. THE SUBJECT THAT WAS TRESPASSING WAS CAUSING A DISTURBANCE AND REFUSING TO LEAVE. WHILE EN ROUTE, I WAS ALSO ADVISED BY DISPATCH THAT A VEHICLE HAD CRASHED AT THE SCENE, INTO A FENCE NEAR THE INCIDENT LOCATION. UPON ARRIVAL, I OBSERVED A BLUE NISSAN TWO DOOR BEARING FLORIDA TAG PT80V, WHICH WAS CRASHED ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE INCIDENT LOCATION WITH FRONT END DAMAGE. ALSO, THERE WAS A STREET SIGN ON THE GROUND IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER, MR TERRY RIMES, WHO ADVISED THAT HE received A CALL THAT THE DEFENDANT, MR TIMOTHY RAINES, WAS GOING CRAZY AT THE RESIDENCE. TERRY ADVISED THAT AS HE WAS COMING AROUND THE CORNER AS HE WAS ARRIVING AT THE RESIDENCE, HE SAW THE DEFENDANT COME RUNNING TOWARDS HIM FROM THE RESIDENCE, WITH AN OBJECT IN HIS HAND THAT APPEARED TO BE A METAL PIPE. TERRY THEN ADVISED THAT HE SWERVED AWAY FROM THE DEFENDANT TO AVOID HITTING HIM, AT WHICH TIME, HE HIT THE CURB ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE RESIDENCE AND THEN HIT THE NEIGHBOR'S FENCE AND TOOK OUT A STREET SIGN. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM, MS VENESSA HARTWICH, WHO RESIDES AT THE INCIDENT LOCATION. VENESSA ADVISED THAT HER FRIEND, MS AMANDA SANTA FE, WAS AT HER HOME AND THAT AMANDA'S BOYFRIEND/DEFENDANT, TIMOTHY, SHOWED UP WITH A CROWBAR AND WAS CAUSING A DISTURBANCE AND WAS REFUSING TO LEAVE; HOWEVER, THE DEFENDANT HAD LEFT PRIOR TO OUR ARRIVAL. VENESSA ADVISED THAT THE DEFENDANT WAS ACTING VIOLENT AND ANGRY TOWARDS AMANDA AND DURING HIS RAGE HE PUNCHED the SIDE OF HER MOBILE HOME. I THEN OBSERVED THE DAMAGE WHERE THE DEFENDANT PUNCHED THE HOME. THE DAMAGE WAS CONSISTENT TO THAT OF BEING PUNCHED. THE KNUCKLE IMPRESSIONS WERE CLEARLY VISIBLE. AFTER SPEAKING WITH VENESSA AND TERRY, I RESPONDED TO 3703 EAST MING COURT AND MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT, WHO WAS SITTING DOWN IN THE FRONT OF THE RESIDENCE SMOKING A CIGARETTE. WHILE SPEAKING WITH THE DEFENDANT, HE ADVISED THAT HE HAD GONE TO VENESSA'S RESIDENCE TO TRY AND LOCATE AMANDA. UPON DOING SO HE WITNESSED HER THROUGH A WINDOW ENGAGED IN A THREESOME WITH VENESSA AND HER BOYFRIEND, AT WHICH TIME, HE BECAME VERY UPSET AND PUNCHED THE SIDE OF THE RESIDENCE. WHILE SPEAKING WITH TIMOTHY, I OBSERVED HIS KNUCKLES TO BE RED IN COLOR, BUT NOT BLEEDING. I ALSO OBSERVED A CROWBAR AND A SILVER METAL PIPE ON THE GROUND NEAR THE DRIVEWAY; HOWEVER, TIMOTHY ADVISED THAT HE DID NOT HAVE THE CROWBAR OR THE METAL PIPE WITH HIM WHILE HE WAS AT VENESSA'S RESIDENCE. AFTER SPEAKING WITH TIMOTHY, I ADVISED HIM THAT HE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR VANDALISM. HE WAS THEN HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKE) BEHIND HIS BACK, SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE, AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. HIS BOND WAS SET AT $500.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
