| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: RICHEY, JONATHAN 0678 (AR13-8242) DID UNLAWFULLY AND KNOWINGLY TAKE, OBTAIN OR USE OR ENDEAVOR TO TAKE, OBTAIN OR USE THE PROPERTY OF BEALLS DEPARTMENT STORE, TO WIT: A PAIR OF MENâS ATHLETIC SHOES AND A GUY HARVEY T-SHIRT, CARRYING AWAY THE SAID MERCHANDISE, WITH INTENT TO TEMPORARILY OR PERMANENTLY DEPRIVE, A MERCHANT, OF THE POSSESSION, USE, BENEFIT, OR FULL RETAIL VALUE OF SAID PROPERTY, SAID PROPERTY BEING OF A VALUE OF LESS THAN $100.00, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 812.014(3)(a). ON 120713, AT APPROXIMATELY 1327 HOURS, I RESPONDED TO THE BEALLS DEPARTMENT STORE IN CRYSTAL RIVER, IN REFERENCE TO A SHOPLIFTER IN CUSTODY. UPON ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH LOSS PREVENTION OFFICER, MR JEREMIAH PRICE, WHO ADVISED ME THAT ON 120713, AT APPROXIMATELY 1255 HOURS, HE OBSERVED A HISPANIC FEMALE, VIA CLOSED circuit TELEVISION, PROCEED TO THE SHOE DEPARTMENT AND SELECT A PAIR OF DEMO SHOES. SHE THEN PUT THEM ON PULLING the PRICE TAG STICKER FROM THEM AND PLACING HER OLD SHOES in the NEW SHOE BOX. SHE THEN LEFT THE SHOE DEPARTMENT WEARING THE NEW SHOES AND PROCEEDED TO THE YOUNG MENâS DEPARTMENT WHERE SHE SELECTED TWO SHIRTS AND A JACKET AND THEN PROCEEDED TO THE FITTING ROOM. WHEN SHE EXITED THE FITTING ROOM SHE HAD ONE SHIRT AND A JACKET PRESENT. AT THAT TIME, MR PRICE CHECKED THE FITTING ROOM AREA WHERE HE COULD NOT LOCATE THE OTHER SHIRT. SHE THEN PAST ALL POINTS OF SALE AND WAS APPREHENDED BY HIM. HE DID PROVIDE ME with a SWORN WRITTEN STATEMENT, A TRAINING RECEIPT, PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE STOLEN ITEMS, AND AN IN STORE VIDEO WHICH WERE ALL TURNED IN TO RECORDS AND EVIDENCE. AT THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT WAS ESCORTED TO THE FITTING ROOM BY STAFF WHERE SHE PROVIDED THEM THE T-SHIRT THAT SHE HAD TAKEN FROM THE STORE, WHICH WAS UNDER HER OUTER T-SHIRT. SHE THEN STATED TO ME THAT SHE HAD MONEY AND THAT SHE DOES NOT NEED TO STEAL AND SHE DID NOT KNOW WHY SHE DID THIS. MR PRICE DID ADVISE HER THAT SHE WAS TRESPASSED FROM the CRYSTAL RIVER BEALLS AND THE INVERNESS BEALLS, AT WHICH TIME, A TRESPASS WAS ENTERED INTO OUR SYSTEM. AT THAT TIME, SHE WAS PLACED UNDER ARRESTED, HANDCUFFED IN FRONT, AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY WHERE HER BOND WAS SET AT $100.00 DUE TO THE FACT THAT SHE IS A COUNTY RESIDENT AND HAS NO PRIOR THEFT RECORD. |
