| Probable cause affidavit: |
\tSUBMITTED BY: CUTLIP, JOSHUA 0721 (2012-00324) \tdid commit certain acts which are of such a nature as to corrupt the public morals or outrage the sense of public decency or affect the peace and quiet of a person who may witness them, or did engage in brawling or fighting, or in such conduct as to constitute a breach of the peace or disorderly conduct, in that THE DEFENDANT did DISTURB THE PEACE, in violation of Florida Statute 877.03. ON 031412 AT APPROXIMATELY 2355 HOURS, I WAS DISPATCHED TO 20 NORTH SHELTERING OAKS DRIVE, APARTMENT B, IN INVERNESS, IN REFERENCE TO A VERBAL DISTURBANCE BETWEEN NEIGHBORS. UPON MY ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH the COMPLAINANT, MR MICHAEL SUMMERS. HE STATED TO ME THE RESIDENT OF APARTMENT 20B WAS VERY BELLIGERENT AND EXTREMELY DRUNK AND HAD BEEN CAUSING AN ALTERCATION BETWEEN the NEIGHBORS AND HIMSELF THROUGHOUT the NIGHT. ON 031412 AT APPROXIMATELY 2204 HOURS, I WAS DISPATCHED TO THE SAME LOCATION INVOLVING the SAME SUBJECT, WHO WAS IDENTIFIED AS MR TIMOTHY REICHARD. AT THAT TIME, I INFORMED MR REICHARD THAT HE NEEDED TO NOT CAUSE ANY FURTHER CONFLICT BETWEEN HIS NEIGHBORS DUE TO THE FACT HE WAS EXTREMELY INTOXICATED. I ADVISED HIM TO RETURN INSIDE HIS RESIDENCE TO SLEEP OFF THE ALCOHOL. HOWEVER, MR REICHARD DID NOT ADHERE TO MY WARNING WHERE HE AGAIN, AT APPROXIMATELY 2355 HOURS ON 031412,INVOLVED HIMSELF IN A VERBAL argument WITH SEVERAL NEIGHBORS TO THE POINT WHERE SEVERAL NEIGHBORS WERE AWAKENED DUE TO THE VERBAL ARGUING AND VULGAR LANGUAGE. AT THAT TIME, I WAS DISPATCHED BACK TO 20 NORTH SHELTERING OAKS DRIVE. UPON MY ARRIVAL, I DID WITNESS MR REICHARD OUTSIDE OF HIS RESIDENCE. HE WAS WEARING ONLY BLUE JEANS AND NO SHIRT AND WAS YELLING OBSCENITIES TOWARDS THE NEIGHBORS AND GESTURING TOWARDS the NEIGHBORS IN AN ARGUMENTATIVE MANNER. MR REICHARD CONTINUED TO YELL AND SCREAM AT the NEIGHBORS WHILE I WAS ON SCENE. I APPROACHED MR REICHARD AND SPOKE WITH HIM. AFTER WITNESSING THE BEHAVIOR of MR REICHARD AND HAVING PREVIOUSLY RESPONDED TO THE SAME ADDRESS IN REFERENCE TO THE SAME SITUATION MR REICHARD WAS HANDCUFFED BEHIND HIS BACK, DOUBLE LOCKED. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND WAS ARRESTED FOR BREACH OF PEACE. WHILE THE DEFENDANT WAS in the REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE HE WAS READ MIRANDA RIGHTS. HE STATED HE UNDERSTOOD HIS RIGHTS AND AGREED TO CONTINUE SPEAKING WITH ME. . the DEFENDANT STATED THAT HIS NEIGHBORS WERE ANTAGONIZING HIM AND THAT HE WAS MERELY STANDING UP FOR HIMSELF. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE REMEMBERED the CONVERSATION WE HAD PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT WHERE THE DEFENDANT STATED HE SHOULD HAVE JUST GONE INSIDE AND WENT TO BED; HOWEVER, FELT THE NEEDED TO VOICE HIS OPINION AND TO DEFEND HIMSELF AGAINST THE NEIGHBORS’ VERBAL ABUSE. I DID WITNESS IN THE PARKING LOT OF the APARTMENT COMPLEX MULTIPLE NEIGHBORS THAT HAD BEEN DISTURBED BY THE DEFENDANT’S OBNOXIOUS BEHAVIOR AND WERE UPSET DUE to the FACT OF the TIME OF NIGHT AND THAT THE DEFENDANT HAD CONTINUED FOR HOURS IN THE DRUNKEN STATE OF MIND AND HIS BELLIGERENT OUTBURST. I DID WITNESS SEVERAL NEIGHBORS TO HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN OUTSIDE WHICH WERE PRESENT AT the TIME THE DEFENDANT WAS YELLING AND SCREAMING VULGAR OBSCENITIES. DUE TO THE FACT THE NEIGHBORS HAD BEEN DISTURBED BY the DEFENDANT AND AWAKENED I DID OBTAIN SWORN WRITTEN STATEMENT FORMS FROM BOTH THE COMPLAINANT and ONE OF the WITNESSES WHO WISHED TO PROVIDE ME with a STATEMENT. BOTH STATEMENTS WERE FILLED OUT AND COLLECTED AND LATER TURNED IN TO RECORDS. SEVERAL NEIGHBORS STATED THAT the DEFENDANT HAD THREATENED THEM BY SAYING HE WAS GOING TO “TAKE PEOPLES HEADS OFF” AND HE WAS GONG TO “GET EVERYONE OF THEM”. THE WITNESS, MS ROBINSON, STATED THAT THE DEFENDANT HAD PREVIOUSLY APPROACHED THE COMPLAINANT IN A HOSTILE MANNER WHERE THE DEFENDANT EXITED HIS RESIDENCE AND MADE CONTACT WITH THE COMPLAINANT BY RUNNING INTO HIM; AND BY PUSHING HIM; HOWEVER, the COMPLAINANT DID NOT WISH TO PURSUE CHARGES ON THE DEFENDANT FOR BATTERY. THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF INJURY TO ALL PARTIES INVOLVED. AT THAT TIME, I TRANSPORTED THE DEFENDANT TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANT’S BOND SET AT $250.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. NO FURTHER ACTION WAS TAKEN BY THIS DEPUTY. |
