AS I WAS LEAVING THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY (CCDF), I WAS CALLED BACK IN AND ADVISED THAT THE BOOKING CAPTAIN HAD A MARIJUANA PIPE IN HER CUSTODY, WHICH HAD BEEN DUMPED BY ONE OF THE INMATES. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH WARDEN WASHBURN WHO ADVISED THAT HE HAD SPOKEN WITH THE DEFENDANT, MR ANTHONY EDWARDS, WHO ADVISED HIM THAT HE HAD THE PIPE CONCEALED IN HIS UNDERWEAR. I HAD WARDEN WASHBURN COMPLETE A SWORN WRITTEN STATEMENT. I THEN WENT OVER AND MADE CONTACT WITH CAPTAIN PERRY AND RETRIEVED A WHITE, BLUE AND BLACK GLASS PIPE FROM HER THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN PACKAGED IN A CLEAR EVIDENCE BAG. I WAS ADVISED THAT CORRECTIONAL OFFICER, MR JAMES DUNCAN, HAD LOCATED THE SMOKING PIPE THAT HAD CANNABIS RESIDUE IN IT LAYING IN FRONT THE BOOKING DESK AT THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY (CCDF). CORRECTIONAL OFFICER DUNCAN HANDED THE PIPE TO SERGEANT CZECHOWSKI. SERGEANT CZECHOWSKI THEN GAVE THE PIPE TO CAPTAIN PERRY. I OBTAINED A SWORN WRITTEN STATEMENT FROM SERGEANT CZECHOWSKI, WHICH WILL ALSO BE TURNED IN TO THE CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE (CCSO) RECORDS DIVISION . WARDEN WASHBURN AND I THEN WENT AND VIEWED THE VIDEO SURVEILLANCE OF THE BOOKING AREA WHERE THE MARIJUANA PIPE HAD BEEN LOCATED AT 0752 HOURS. YOU SEE THE DEFENDANT, MR ANTHONY EDWARDS, TAKE HIS RIGHT HAND AND REACH INTO THE FRONT OF HIS PANTS IN HIS GENITAL AREA. THE DEFENDANT THEN DOES A TURN AND YOU SEE THE DEFENDANT THEN BEND DOWN AND PLACE THE PIPE ON THE FLOOR. I VIEWED THE ENTIRE VIDEO TAPE UP UNTIL CORRECTIONAL OFFICER DUNCAN TOOK POSSESSION OF THE PIPE. I THEN READ THE DEFENDANT HIS MIRANDA WARNING VIA A PRE-PRINTED CARD. HE STATED HE UNDERSTOOD HIS RIGHTS AND WISHED TO SPEAK WITH ME. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT WHY HE HAD BROUGHT THE PIPE INTO THE JAIL. THE DEFENDANT STATED HE WAS SCARED AND HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. I ADVISED HIM PRIOR TO ENTERING THE DETENTION FACILITY THAT I HAD ASKED HIM IF HE HAD ANYTHING ELSE ON HIM, BECAUSE IT WOULD BE A FELONY IF HE INTRODUCED IT INTO THE JAIL. HE STATED HE REMEMBERED ME SAYING THAT TO HIM, BUT WAS SCARED AND DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT HE SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME THE TRUTH ABOUT THE PIPE BEFORE HE ENTERED THE JAIL. I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT HE WAS BEING CHARGED WITH INTRODUCTION OF CONTRABAND INTO A DETENTION FACILITY AND POSSESSION OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA. THE DEFENDANTâS TOTAL BOND FOR THESE TWO CHARGES WAS SET AT A TOTAL $5,500.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. I TURNED THE PIPE IN TO THE CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE (CCSO) EVIDENCE DIVISION. I ALSO OBTAINED THE STATEMENT FORM THAT OFFICER DUNCAN HAD COMPLETED. ALL THREE STATEMENTS FORMS WILL BE TURNED IN TO CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE (CCSO) RECORDS DIVISION. WARDEN WASHBURN ADVISED THAT HE COULD NOT COPY THE SURVEILLANCE VIDEO TODAY, 031312, BUT A COPY WOULD BE MADE TOMORROW, 051412, AND THAT HE WOULD CALL THE SHERIFFâS OFFICE WHEN IT IS READY TO BE PICKED UP. NO FURTHER INFORMATION AT THIS TIME. |
