ON 121909, I WAS DISPATCHED TO THE AREA OF 1838 WEST GARDENIA DRIVE, IN REFERENCE TO A BURGLARY THAT HAD JUST occurred. UPON ARRIVAL, I WAS MET BY VICTIM ONE, WHO ADVISED THAT JUST PRIOR TO OUR ARRIVAL, WHILE SLEEPING IN HIS BED, HE WOKE UP TO FIND A SUBJECT WEARING A DARK COLORED HOODIE IN HIS ROOM GOING THROUGH AN OPENED SAFE. HE ADVISED AT THAT TIME, HE JUMPED OUT OF BED AND BEGAN TO CHASE THE SUSPECT, LATER IDENTIFIED AS MR CORY LEE BIEBER, THROUGH THE RESIDENCE AND THEN OUT THROUGH THE BACK YARD. VICTIM ONE ADVISED THAT ONCE THEY GOT OUT INTO THE YARD HE COULD NO LONGER SEE WHICH DIRECTION THE DEFENDANT HAD RUN. VICTIM ONE ADVISED HE WENT TO HIS NEIGHBOR'S TO CALL 9-1-1 AND TO HAVE THEM HELP LOOK AROUND HIS HOME FOR ANY DAMAGE OR MISSING PROPERTY. HE DID ADVISE THAT ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT OF CALLING 9-1-1 HE RECEIVED A BUSY SIGNAL AND HAD TO USE A DIFFERENT LINE. THIS DEPUTY DID VERIFY THAT THAT TELEPHONE WOULD NOT DIAL 9-1-1, WHICH WAS CONSISTENT WITH THE VICTIM'S STATEMENT AND THE TIME DELAY. HE ADVISED THAT HE WENT BACK TO HIS RESIDENCE AND REALIZED THAT HIS TWO WALLETS HAD BEEN TAKEN ALONG WITH SEVERAL CREDIT CARDS AND A JAR OF LOOSE CHANGE AND A GARMIN GPS FROM HIS VEHICLE. AT THAT TIME, SEVERAL OTHER UNITS ARRIVE AS WELL AS K-9 UNITS AND THEY BEGAN TO BOLO AND TRACK. I NOTICED THAT THE REAR SLIDING DOOR ON VICTIM ONE'S HOME HAD BEEN PRIED OPEN. WHILE I WAS GATHERING INFORMATION DEPUTY SKINNER ADVISED THIS DEPUTY THAT THE DEPUTIES WHO HAD WORKED THE PREVIOUS NIGHT SHIFT ADVISED HIM THAT THERE HAD BEEN A SUSPICIOUS PERSON WHO HAD BEEN TRESPASSED FROM ANOTHER PROPERTY TWO RESIDENCES FROM VICTIM ONE'S, WHO REFUSED TO LEAVE THE AREA. HE WAS LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT. I WAS FURTHER ADVISED THAT THAT SUBJECT'S CLOTHING DESCRIPTION MATCHED THE DESCRIPTION GIVEN BY VICTIM ONE. WHILE MYSELF AND DEPUTY HUNTER WERE SPEAKING IN REFERENCE TO THIS INCIDENT, A MALE SUBJECT FROM WHERE THE DEFENDANT HAD BEEN TRESPASSED FROM ADVISED THAT APPROXIMATELY 45 MINUTES TO AN HOUR PRIOR TO THAT THE DEFENDANT HAD DROPPED OFF A SUITCASE AND A WHITE GARBAGE BAG WITH WITNESS ONE (THE DEFENDANT'S GIRLFRIEND). DEPUTY SKINNER AND DEPUTY HUNTER WENT TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THOSE WITNESSES WHILE I REMAINED ON SCENE AND GATHERED information. A SHORT TIME LATER I WAS ADVISED BY DEPUTY HUNTER THAT ONE OF THE WITNESSES HAD OPENED THE WHITE TRASH BAG BECAUSE WHEN the DEFENDANT HAD LEFT A FEW HOURS AGO HE HAD LEFT IT WITH HER. I WAS FURTHER ADVISED BY DEPUTY HUNTER THAT THE WITNESS HAD OPENED THE BAG, HOWEVER, FROM WHAT HE COULD SEE WITHOUT TOUCHING THE BAG IT APPEARED TO BE THE ITEMS THAT VICTIM ONE STATED WERE MISSING. I WAS THEN ADVISED THAT the K-9 UNIT (DEPUTY ANSTEAD) AND DEPUTY HUNTER WERE STaRTING TO TRACK FROM THE WITNESSES' RESIDENCE IN A NORTHERLY DIRECTION. AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME I WAS ADVISED THAT THEY HAD LOCATED A SUBJECT RUNNING FROM VICTIM TWO'S RESIDENCE. AT THAT TIME, HE WAS DETAINED. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT the SUBJECT/DEFENDANT WAS ONLY WEARING SHORTS AND A LIGHT TANK TOP AND NO SHOES AND THE CURRENT TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS APPROXIMATELY 43 DEGREES with a LIGHT WIND. THE DEFENDANT WAS IDENTIFIED BY DEPUTY SKINNER, THROUGH HIS TATTOOS, AS THE SUBJECT THAT WAS TRESPASSED FROM THE WITNESSES HOME AND HAD BEEN SEEN IN THE AREA AROUND OTHER HOMES. THOUGH HE DID NOT HAVE ANY IDENTIFICATION ON HIS PERSON HE DID STATE HIS NAME. AT THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT WAS MIRANDIZED VIA AGENCY PREPRINTED CARD, AND HE ADVISED THAT HE WOULD SPEAK TO LAW ENFORCEMENT. IN THE MEANTIME I WAS CONTACTED BY SERGEANT CLARK OVER THE TELEPHONE. HE INFORMED ME THAT THE ITEMS IN THE BAG THAT THE DEFENDANT HAD GIVEN TO WITNESS ONE WAS IDENTIFIED AS VICTIM ONE'S PROPERTY. UPON SPEAKING WITH THE DEFENDANT HE ADVISED THAT HE HAD BEEN TRESPASSED EARLIER FROM HIS GIRLFRIEND'S HOME (WITNESS ONE). IT SHOULD FURTHER BE STATED that the DEFENDANT DID NOT LIVE AT THAT ADDRESS AT THE TIME HE WAS TRESPASSED. HE STATED AFTER HER PARENTS MADE HIM LEAVE HE WAS WALKING AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD CARRYING A SUITCASE. HE STATED THAT AFTER A WHILE HE WENT BACK TO HER RESIDENCE AND TAPPED ON HER WINDOW AND HANDED HER THE SUITCASE AND THE WHITE PLASTIC BAG. SHE ADVISED THAT AT THAT TIME, HE WAS FULLY CLOTHED, HOWEVER, SHE SAID THAT HE SAW LAW ENFORCEMENT AGAIN THE AREA SO HE TOOK FLIGHT. HE STATED THAT WHEN HE WAS ASKED WHY HE WAS NOT WEARING ANY CLOTHES OR SHOES HE COULD NOT GIVE ANY REASON OTHER THAN STATING HE WAS NOT COLD AND FORGOT TO PUT SHOES ON WHEN HE LEFT WITNESS ONE'S LOCATION. AT THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST. AS I WAS LEAVING TO GO BACK TO THE ORIGINAL LOCATION TO GATHER SOME INFORMATION FROM THE WITNESSES, I WAS ADVISED BY DEPUTY HUNTER THAT THE HOME IN WHICH HE AND DEPUTY ANSTEAD HAD SEEN THE DEFENDANT FLEEING FROM HAD ALSO HAD THE FRONT DOOR KICKED IN, HOWEVER, AT THAT TIME, IT DID NOT APPEAR THAT ANYTHING HAD BEEN TAKEN. WHEN I RETURNED TO SPEAK TO THE WITNESSES THEY DID PROVIDE SWORN STATEMENTS AS TO THE EVENTS. UPON SPEAKING TO WITNESS ONE (DEFENDANT'S GIRLFRIEND), SHE STATED THAT WHEN THE DEFENDANT HANDED HER THE WHITE TRASH BAG SHE WAS AFRAID HE MAY HAVE STOLEN WHATEVER WAS IN THE BAG, WHICH WAS WHY SHE OPENED IT. SHE ADVISED ONCE SHE OPENED THE BAG SHE BELIEVED THE ITEMS INSIDE WERE STOLEN AND SO SHE HAD HER FATHER CONTACT THIS DEPUTY TO RETRIEVE THE ITEMS. WITNESS ONE ALSO ADVISED THAT SHE BELIEVED THE DEFENDANT HAD FLATTENED THE TIRES ON HER VEHICLE AND THAT HE HAD TAKEN A SCREW DRIVER FROM THEIR HOME, WHICH COULD BE CONSISTENT WITH THE PRY MARKS ON VICTIM ONE'S SLIDING GLASS DOOR. AS I WAS LEAVING THE SCENE WITH THE DEFENDANT, AS WE PASSED VICTIM ONE, STATED LOUDLY "THAT MOTHER FUCKER, IDENTIFIED ME." I DID ASK HIM WHAT HE SAID AND HE SAID HE WAS ASKING ME IF HE HAD BEEN IDENTIFIED. AT THAT TIME THERE WERE NO FURTHER STATEMENTS MADE BY THE DEFENDANT AS HE WAS TRANSPORTED, HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY, WHERE HE WAS CHARGED WITH ONE COUNTS OF OCCUPIED BURGLARY TO A RESIDENCE, AND ONE COUNT OF UNOCCUPIED BURGLARY TO A RESIDENCE. HIS BOND WAS SET AT $20,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
