ON 051308 AT 2015 HOURS, I WAS DISPATCHED TO AN ADDRESS ON WEST KILLARNEY STREET, IN CRYSTAL RIVER, IN REFERENCE TO A PHYSICAL DISTURBANCE IN PROGRESS. WHILE EN ROUTE, I WAS FURTHER ADVISED BY DISPATCH that THE ALLEGED SUSPECT WAS LEAVING IN THE ABOVE VEHICLE FROM the ADDRESS. AT THAT TIME WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN ON NORTH IRA MARTIN, I OBSERVED THE ABOVE MENTIONED VEHICLE APPROACHING THE INTERSECTION. I THEN INITIATED A TRAFFIC STOP USING MY EMERGENCY OVERHEAD LIGHTS. UPON MAKING CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER, WHO WAS LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE VICTIM, THE VICTIM STATED THAT EARLIER TODAY HE WAS RESPONDING TO A RESIDENCE ON WEST KILLARNEY STREET WITH HIS COWORKER/WITNESS ONE. HE STATED THEY WERE GOING TO THE RESIDENCE TO RETRIEVE SOME TOOLS FROM A PRIOR JOB THEY HAD. THE VICTIM FURTHER ADVISED THAT WHEN THEY ARRIVED AT THE RESIDENCE THEY STOPPED OUT ON THE STREET AT WHICH TIME WITNESS ONE EXITED his VEHICLE AND MADE CONTACT WITH the DEFENDANT, MR WAYNE STOCKLE. AT THAT TIME THE VICTIM STATED THAT THE DEFENDANT THEN RAN OUT TO HIS VEHICLE AND BEGAN PUNCHING THROUGH THE OPEN DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WINDOW. THE VICTIM STATED THAT THE WITNESS THEN GOT BACK IN TO THE VEHICLE and THEY THEN LEFT THE SCENE. I DID OBSERVE THAT THE VICTIM HAD AN ABRASION ABOVE HIS LEFT EYE AND SWELLING. THE VICTIM ALSO HAD NUMEROUS SCRATCH MARKS ON HIS LEFT BICEP AND I DID OBSERVE HIS T-SHIRT TO BE RIPPED. I THEN TOOK PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE VICTIM'S INJURIES AT WHICH TIME HE ALSO DECLINED EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES (EMS). I DID OBTAIN SWORN WRITTEN STATEMENTS FROM THE VICTIM THE TWO WITNESSES WHO WERE IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. ALL THREE statements CORROBORATED THE SAME ACCOUNT OF THE INCIDENT. I ISSUED THE VICTIM AND AGENCY CASE CARD BEARING MY NAME AND THE CASE NUMBER. I THEN RESPONDED TO THE RESIDENCE ON WEST KILLARNEY STREET, AND MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT. THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT AT APPROXIMATELY 2000 HOURS ON 051308, HE RECEIVED A TELEPHONE CALL FROM the VICTIM. THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT THE VICTIM ADVISED THAT HE WAS going TO COME TO HIS RESIDENCE AND KICK HIS "YANKEE ASS." THE DEFENDANT THEN STATED MOMENTS LATER THAT the VICTIM PULLED IN TO HIS DRIVEWAY, AT WHICH TIME WITNESS ONE STEPPED OUT OF the VEHICLE TO MAKE CONTACT WITH the DEFENDANT IN REFERENCE TO SOME TOOLS LEFT ON THE JOB SITE. the DEFENDANT STATED AT THAT TIME HE MADE CONTACT with the VICTIM OUTSIDE AT his VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT THE VICTIM PUNCHED HIM IN his EYE AT WHICH TIME HE BEGAN PUNCHING THE VICTIM WITH A CLOSED FIST TO KEEP HIM AWAY FROM COMING UP TO his RESIDENCE. THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT THE VICTIM THEN KICKED HIM AND LEFT THE INCIDENT LOCATION. WHILE OBSERVING THE DEFENDANT I DID NOTICE A SMALL RED MARK ON HIS RIGHT EYEBROW; HOWEVER I DID NOT NOTICE ANY SWELLING OR ANY OTHER INJURIES THAT WOULD BE CONSISTENT WITH THE DEFENDANT STORY. I THEN PLACED THE DEFENDANT UNDER ARREST FOR ONE COUNT OF SIMPLE BATTERY. HE WAS THEN HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE-LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK AND SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT WHEN I CONDUCTED MY TRAFFIC STOP ON the VICTIM'S VEHICLE I DID NOTICE A SPOT ON the DRIVER SIDE DOOR WHERE THERE WAS A SMUDGE MARK IN THE DUST THAT APPEARED TO BE THE WIDTH OF THE DEFENDANT'S BODY. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
