ON 022512 I WAS DISPATCHED TO THE ADDRESS 1151 N TIGER POINT IN LECANTO IN REFERENCE TO A POSSIBLE CAR JACKING. WHILE EN ROUTE TO THE INCIDENT LOCATION I WAS ADVISED BY DISPATCH THAT A WHITE MALE SUSPECT WAS DRIVING A SMALL WHITE VAN WITH A FEMALE PASSENGER. JUST PRIOR TO ARRIVAL ON SCENE, I WAS THEN ADVISED BY DISPATCH THAT THE VICTIM OBSERVED THE SUSPECTâS VEHICLE, A WHITE VAN, PULL INTO 1179 NORTH TIGER POINT IN LECANTO WHERE A WHITE MALE AND WHITE FEMALE EXITED AND WENT INSIDE THE RESIDENCE. UPON ARRIVAL AT1179 NORTH TIGER POINT AND APPROACHING THE RESIDENCE, I WAS ABLE TO HEAR A MALE AND A FEMALE ARGUING INSIDE. AT THAT TIME, A MALE SUBJECT CAME WALKING OUTSIDE. THE MALE SUBJECT, WHO WAS LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE SUSPECT/DEFENDANT, MR CHARLIE CORNEAU. THE DEFENDANT WAS VERY AGITATED AND SHOWING AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR, AT WHICH TIME, HE WAS DETAINED FOR HIS SAFETY AND MINE WHILE I WAS CONDUCTED MY INVESTIGATION. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. DEPUTIES STOOD BY WITH THE DEFENDANT WHILE I RESPONDED TO 1151 NORTH TIGER POINT TO SPEAK WITH THE VICTIM, MR JOEL SEIJAS. UPON MAKING CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM HE ADVISED HE WAS DRIVING WESTBOUND ON HIGHWAY 44 WHEN HE OBSERVED A WHITE VAN SPEED IN FRONT OF HIM AND THEN SLAM ON HIS BRAKES. AT THAT TIME, HE WENT AROUND THE VEHICLE. HE ADVISED THE VAN THEN PULLED UP BESIDE HIM AND PASSED HIM AGAIN ON HIGHWAY 44. THE VICTIM ADVISED THE VAN THEN TURNED NORTHBOUND ON VAN NORTWICK, AT WHICH TIME, THE VICTIM ALSO TURNED NORTHBOUND ON VAN NORTWICK. HE ADVISED HE THEN FOLLOWED THE VEHICLE AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED. HE ADVISED THE VEHICLE THEN CAME TO A STOP AT THE STOP SIGN AT WEST SAFARI LANE AND VAN NORTWICK AND TURN ITS HAZARD LIGHTS ON. THE VICTIM ADVISED HE THEN PROCEEDED AROUND THE VAN CAUTIOUSLY AND PROCEEDED TO MAKE A RIGHT-HAND TURN ONTO SAFARI LANE. HE ADVISED AS HE WAS PASSING THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE THE DEFENDANT YELLED FOR HIM TO STOP. THE VICTIM ADVISED THINKING HE KNEW THE DEFENDANT HE STOPPED. AT WHICH TIME, THE DEFENDANT GOT OUT OF HIS WHITE VAN, RAN OVER TO HIS VEHICLE AND OPENED HIS DOOR AND SCREAMED, "I AM GOING TO BEAT YOUR ASS!" AND ATTEMPTED TO PULL HIM OUT OF HIS VEHICLE BY HIS NECK AND SHIRT COLLAR. THE VICTIM ADVISED HE THEN ACCELERATED FORWARD TO GET AWAY FROM THE DEFENDANT AND DROVE TO HIS RESIDENCE AT 1151 NORTH TIGER POINT AND IMMEDIATELY CALLED 911. HE ADVISED WHILE OUTSIDE AT HIS RESIDENCE HE OBSERVED THE SAME WHITE VAN PULL INTO 1179 NORTH TIGER POINT WHERE THE DEFENDANT EXITED HIS VEHICLE, ALONG WITH THE WHITE FEMALE HE HAD SEEN INSIDE THE VAN, AND GO INTO THE RESIDENCE. I OBSERVED A SMALL RIP IN THE FRONT OF THE VICTIMâS SHIRT AND A SMALL RIP TO BACK OF THE VICTIMâS SHIRT AND A RED SCRATCH MARK ON THE BACK OF HIS NECK. I WAS THEN APPROACHED BY A WHITE FEMALE, MS JOY SCHNEIDER, WHO ADVISED THAT SHE WAS WALKING DOWN SAFARI WHEN SHE OBSERVED THE WHITE VAN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OF VAN NORTWICK. SHE OBSERVED THE VICTIMâS VEHICLE ATTEMPT TO DRIVE AROUND THE WHITE VAN THAT WAS STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. SHE OBSERVED THE OCCUPANT OF THE WHITE VAN, THE DEFENDANT, GET OUT OF HIS VEHICLE AND RUN OVER TO THE VICTIMâS CAR AND OPEN THE DOOR, AT WHICH TIME, SHE HEARD YELLING AND THEN OBSERVED THE VICTIM TO PULL OFF IN HIS CAR. SHE ADVISED THE WHITE VAN THEN PULLED ONTO SAFARI AND ALMOST HIT HER AND BLOCKED THE ROAD AND BEGAN YELLING AT HER THINKING THAT SHE WAS THE VICTIM.

WHEN THEY CAME TO A STOP AT THE STOP SIGN AT SAFARI AND VAN NORTWICK THE DEFENDANT YELLED AT THE VICTIM TO STOP HIS VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT THEN EXITED THE VAN AND WALKED TO THE VICTIMâS VEHICLE AND QUESTIONED HIM ABOUT DRIVING ERRATICALLY AND FOLLOWING THEM DOWN THE ROAD. AT THAT TIME THE ALTERCATION TURNED PHYSICAL AND THE DEFENDANT TRIED TO REMOVE THE VICTIM FROM HIS VEHICLE. MS SELKE WAS NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE A WRITTEN STATEMENT. I THEN WENT OVER TO THE DEFENDANT AND READ HIM HIS MIRANDA RIGHTS VIA A PRE PRINTED AGENCY CARD. HE ADVISED HE UNDERSTOOD HIS RIGHTS AND AGREED TO SPEAK WITH ME. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED ME THAT BECAUSE OF THE VICTIM'S ERRATIC DRIVING AND DUE TO HIM FOLLOWING THE DEFENDANT HOME THE DEFENDANT APPROACHED THE VICTIM AND WHEN THE VICTIM CALLED THE DEFENDANT A NAME THE DEFENDANT ATTEMPTED TO PULL HIM OUT OF THE CAR TO FIGHT.
