| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: CALLAHAN, CRAIG C8858 (AR08101322) ON 012008 AT APPROXIMATELY 0112 HOURS, DEPUTY VALDES DID ADVISE ME VIA RADIO THAT HE HAD just OBSERVED A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT OCCUR WITHIN CRYSTAL RIVER CITY LIMITS. AT THAT TIME I RESPONDED TO THE SCENE OF the ACCIDENT WHERE I MADE CONTACT WITH DEPUTY VALDES. UPON MAKING CONTACT WITH DEPUTY VALDES, HE ADVISED ME THAT HE HAD OBSERVED the DEFENDANT, WHO WILL BE IDENTIFIED AS "JOHN DOE", AT THIS TIME DRIVING A GREY IN COLOR CHEVY PICK-UP EXITING THE NORTH SIDE PARKING LOT OF THE CRYSTAL RIVER MALL. DEPUTY VALDES ADVISED THAT UPON OBSERVING the DEFENDANT EXIT, HE WAS TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND LOST CONTROL CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SWERVE ON TO THE RAISED MEDIAN SUBSEQUENTLY HITTING A STREET SIGN. DEPUTY VALDES ADVISED THAT UPON MAKING CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT HE OBSERVED SIGNS OF IMPAIRMENT. UPON OBTAINING THIS INFORMATION I MADE CONTACT with THE DEFENDANT WHO WAS STANDING OUTSIDE OF his PICK-UP TRUCK HUNCHED OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. AT THIS TIME I COULD DETECT A STRONG ODOR OF AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE EMITTING FROM HIS PERSON. THE DEFENDANT ALSO HAD AN EXTREMELY HARD TIME STANDING UPRIGHT AS WELL AS HAVING EXTREMELY SLURRED SPEECH. AT THAT TIME THE DEFENDANT WAS ASKED TO PERFORM FIELD SOBRIETY TASKS, TO WHICH HE DID SO AND FAILED TO SATISFACTORY PERFORM THOSE TASKS. THE DEFENDANT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE (DUI) WITH PROPERTY DAMAGE. I THEN ATTEMPTED TO ASCERTAIN THE DEFENDANT'S NAME MULTIPLE TIMES HOWEVER, HE REFUSED TO GIVE ME HIS NAME AND STATED THAT his NAME WAS "JOHN DOE". THE DEFENDANT WAS ADVISED THAT IF HE would NOT PROVIDE ME with HIS CORRECT INFORMATION HE would BE CHARGED ACCORDINGLY. THE DEFENDANT CONTINUED TO REFUSE TO COOPERATE AND EXPLAINED TO ME THAT HE WAS NOT GOING TO TELL ME HIS NAME. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN PLACED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE FOR TRANSPORT TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. SUBSEQUENT TO THE DEFENDANT'S ARREST his VEHICLE WAS SEARCHED. UPON SEARCHING THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE A YELLOW PILL BOTTLE CONTAINING 1.5 GRAMS OF MARIJUANA AND 11 WHITE PILLS WHICH WERE LATER IDENTIFIED AS VALIUM WERE found IN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR POCKET. TWO OTHER NON-NARCOTIC PILLS WERE ALSO FOUND IN the BOTTLE. A GLASS PIPE WAS ALSO DISCOVERED WHICH IS COMMONLY USED TO SMOKE MARIJUANA, AND WAS FOUND NEXT TO THE PILL BOTTLE CONTAINING THE MARIJUANA AND PILLS. I AGAIN MADE CONTACT WITH the DEFENDANT AND ASKED HIM IF ANY OF THE DRUGS OR PARAPHERNALIA BELONGED TO HIM, HOWEVER HE WAS TOO BELLIGERENT TO ANSWER ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS. AT THAT TIME THE DEFENDANT WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING and PROCESSING. WHILE EN ROUTE TO the DETENTION FACILITY THE DEFENDANT BECAME VERY ENRAGED THAT HE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST. HE BEGAN THREATENING THIS OFFICER STATING, THAT HE WAS GOING TO "CUT MY THROAT" AND "KICK MY ASS WHEN WE GOT TO THE JAIL". the DEFENDANT ALSO BEGAN KICKING THE ROOF AND THE WINDOWS IN MY PATROL VEHICLE. AT THAT TIME I STOPPED TO RE-SECURE the DEFENDANT IN THE SEAT BELT, AND UPON DOING SO HE ATTEMPTED TO HEAD BUTT ME HOWEVER I WAS ABLE TO MOVE PRIOR TO BEING STRUCK. AFTER GIVING THE DEFENDANT SEVERAL VERBAL COMMANDS TO STOP, AND THE DEFENDANT REFUSING, HE WAS SPRAYED WITH ONE SHORT BURST OF MY DEPARTMENT ISSUED PEPPER SPRAY. I WAS THEN ABLE TO SECURE THE DEFENDANT IN the SEAT BELT AND CONTINUE TRANSPORTING HIM TO THE DETENTION FACILITY. DUE TO THE FACT THAT WE WERE A SHORT DISTANCE FROM the DETENTION FACILITY EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES (EMS) WAS NOT CONTACTED AND THE DEFENDANT WAS NOT OFFERED WATER. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE DETENTION FACILITY THE DEFENDANTS BOND TOTALED $7,500.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE, HOWEVER, WAS SET AT (), DUE TO the FACT that the DEFENDANT could NOT BE IDENTIFIED. WHILE AT THE DETENTION FACILITY THE DEFENDANT WAS ASKED TO SUBMIT TO THE APPROVED TEST OF HIS BREATH, TO WHICH HE REFUSED. THE DEFENDANT WAS ISSUED FLORIDA DUI UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION NUMBER 9799-XCO, WITH A MANDATORY COURT APPEARANCE ON 020708 AT 1300 HOURS. HE WAS ALSO ISSUED A WRITTEN WARNING FOR CARELESS DRIVING. ON 012008 AT 1800 HOURS, I RETURNED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY IN REFERENCE TO IDENTIFYING THE DEFENDANT. THE DEFENDANT WAS IDENTIFIED AS, MR WILLIAM THIEME, BY HIS GRANDMOTHER. THE DEFENDANT AND HIS GRANDMOTHER WERE BOTH ADVISED THAT HE WOULD BE ABLE TO POST BOND DUE TO THE FACT THAT HE WAS ABLE TO BE IDENTIFIED. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WILL STILL BE HELD AT $7,500.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE DEFENDANT WAS REISSUED A FLORIDA DUI UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION NUMBER 9800-XCO, WITH A MANDATORY COURT APPEARANCE ON 020708 AT 1300 HOURS. HE WAS ALSO REISSUED A WRITTEN WARNING FOR CARELESS DRIVING. *nOT-EXEMPT* |
