ON 020611, THE CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE (CCSO) RESPONDED TO THE VICTIM'S, MR DAVE CLEMENS, RESIDENCE LOCATED ON SOUTH PALMER AVENUE IN HOMOSASSA IN REFERENCE TO A VEHICLE BURGLARY. UPON ARRIVAL WITH DEPUTY MORTON, WE OBSERVED BOOT PRINTS COMING FROM CARDINAL WHICH WENT DOWN SOUTH PALMER AVENUE AND WENT ON TO THE VICTIM'S PROPERTY. SOUTH PALMER AVENUE AND THE VICTIM'S DRIVEWAY ARE SAND. THE DEFENDANT THEN ENTERED THE FORD VAN WHERE HE DISROBED DURING WHICH TIME THE SEAT IN THE VAN WAS TORN. DEPUTY MORTON FOUND THE DEFENDANT'S BLUE JEANS, GRAY TEE SHIRT, A BASEBALL CAP WITH A SKULL, AND A BELT WITH A KEY RING ATTACHED TO THE BELT LOOP WITH A FEW KEYS ON IT. THE DEFENDANT'S BOOTS WERE FOUND BEHIND THE VICTIM'S RESIDENCE. THERE WAS A CELLULAR TELEPHONE INSIDE THE BLUE JEAN PANTS POCKET WHICH HAD the TELEPHONE NUMBERS FOR THE DEFENDANT'S FAMILY MEMBERS. THE DEFENDANT LEFT THE VAN AFTER REMOVING HIS CLOTHES, WENT TO THE BACK OF THE VICTIM'S PROPERTY WHERE HE TOOK HIS BOOTS OFF, WENT UP ON THE VICTIM'S BACK PORCH AND ATTEMPTED TO ENTER THE RESIDENCE. SINCE THE RESIDENCE'S DOOR WAS SECURE, THE DEFENDANT THEN WENT AROUND THE FRONT OF THE VICTIM'S PORCH. WHILE CHECKING A POTTED PLANT FOR A KEY, THE PLANT WAS KNOCKED OFF THE PORCH TO THE GROUND and THE DEFENDANT WAS UNABLE TO ENTER THE FRONT DOOR. THE DEFENDANT THEN ENTERED THE CHRYSLER PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. WE OBSERVED A SANDY BAREFOOT PRINT ENTERING THE BACK OF THE CAR. HE MOVED SODA DRINKS AND A CHILD'S WALKER OFF OF THE VICTIM'S BLACK AND RED BUCCANEERS' JACKET WHICH WAS IN THE CHRYSLER HATCHBACK. THE DEFENDANT THEN REMOVED THE JACKET AND LEFT THE RESIDENCE ON BAREFOOT. THE DEFENDANT THEN RESPONDED DOWN THE ROAD STOPPING AT ANOTHER NEIGHBOR'S RESIDENCE IN HIS BOXER SHORTS AND THE STOLEN BUCCANEERS' JACKET. THIS NEIGHBOR LET HIM SLEEP ON HIS COUCH AFTER FINDING HIM AT HIS DOOR AT 0200 HOURS AND AT APPROXIMATELY 0900 HOURS, THE NEIGHBOR DROVE THE DEFENDANT TO A HOSPITAL IN SPRING HILL AT HIS REQUEST. THE NEIGHBOR WHO GAVE THE DEFENDANT A RIDE AFTER SEEING THE PATROL VEHICLES AT HIS NEIGHBOR'S RESIDENCE INFORMED US OF HIM GIVING THE DEFENDANT A RIDE. AT THAT TIME, THIS DEPUTY CONTACTED HERNANDO COUNTY AND SPOKE WITH DEPUTY BRAND HUBER WHO LOCATED THE DEFENDANT AT A HOSPITAL AND ADVISED THIS DEPUTY HE WAS WEARING THE STOLEN BUCCANEERS' JACKET WHICH HE STATED HE WOULD TAKE INTO HIS POSSESSION. HE ADVISED THERE WAS A BILL OF SALE WHICH HAD THE VICTIM'S NAME OF DAVE CLEMENS ON IT IN THE JACKET POCKET. DEPUTY HUBER ADVISED HE WOULD DO AN AGENCY ASSIST REPORT (CASE 2011-4388) AND BRING THE PROPERTY TO THIS DEPUTY SO IT COULD BE RETURNED TO THE OWNER. THIS DEPUTY MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT BY TELEPHONE ADVISING HIM WE HAD LOCATED HIS PROPERTY AND HE STATED HE WOULD GET A RIDE AND MEET ME AT THE COUNTY LINE. ONCE THE DEFENDANT ARRIVED, I ADVISED HIM HE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR BURGLARY. THE DEFENDANT WAS HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY WITHOUT INCIDENT.
