Probable cause affidavit: SUBMITTED BY: LAKATIS, KENNETH 0585 (AR07004983) did unlawfully, willfully and maliciously, injure or damage certain property of THE VICTIM, to-wit: VARIOUS ITEMS OF CLOTHING, such damage being of a value of more than $200.00, but less than $1,000.00, in violation of Florida Statutes 806.13(1)(a) and 806.13(1)(b)2 AND did unlawfully commit battery upon THE VICTIM by actually and intentionally touching or striking said person against said person's will, or by intentionally causing bodily harm, to-wit: BY GRABBING THE VICTIM AND PLACING HIM IN A HEADLOCK, in violation of Florida Statute 784.03. ON 090707 AT APPROXIMATELY 1945 HOURS, I RESPONDED TO 2068 EAST KENNETT DRIVE, HERNANDO IN REFERENCE TO A POSSIBLE BURGLARY THAT HAD ALREADY OCCURRED. UPON ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM, WHO ADVISED THAT HE HAD RENTED THE ABOVE ADDRESS FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS FROM HIS UNCLE LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT, MR CHARLES PHILLIPS. HE STATED THAT THE DEFENDANT ADVISED HIM THAT HE WAS BEING EVICTED WITHOUT THE PROPER EVICTION PAPERWORK. THE VICTIM STATED THAT HE EXPLAINED TO THE DEFENDANT THAT HE WOULD NEED TIME TO GATHER HIS BELONGINGS AND THOUGHT THAT THE DEFENDANT HAD AGREED. HE STATED THAT A FEW DAYS LATER HE DISCOVERED THAT SOMEONE HAD TAMPERED WITH THE ELECTRICAL BOX OUTSIDE THE RESIDENCE LEAVING HIM WITHOUT ELECTRIC OR WATER. HE STATED THAT ON TODAY'S DATE HE FOUND THAT SOMEONE HAD ENTERED THE RESIDENCE, REMOVED HIS CLOTHING AND SET THEM ON FIRE. HE STATED THAT HE CONTACTED THE DEFENDANT VIA TELEPHONE AND ASKED HIM WHY HAD HAD BURNED HIS CLOTHES, TO WHICH THE DEFENDANT CURSED AT HIM AND ADMITTED TO BURNING HIS CLOTHES BECAUSE HE HAD NOT VACATED THE RESIDENCE. WHILE COMPLETING MY INVESTIGATION THE VICTIM'S MOTHER ARRIVED AND WAS SPEAKING TO THE DEFENDANT ON THE TELEPHONE. THE DEFENDANT ALSO ADMITTED TO HER THAT HE HAD BURNED THE VICTIM'S CLOTHES BY STATING "HE SHOULD OF GOTTEN OUT OR I WOULDN'T HAVE BURNED HIS SHIT." AFTER LEAVING THE AREA I WAS CALLED BACK TO THE RESIDENCE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE DEFENDANT HAD ARRIVED AT THE SCENE AND WAS CONFRONTING THE VICTIM. DURING THE CONFRONTATION THE DEFENDANT GRABBED THE VICTIM IN A HEADLOCK UNTIL THEY WERE SEPARATED BY A FRIEND OF THE VICTIM'S. AT THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST AFTER ADMITTING TO ME THAT HE HAD BURNED THE VICTIM'S CLOTHING. THE DEFENDANT WAS HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE-LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK, SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANT WAS CHARGED WITH ONE COUNT OF CRIMINAL MISCHIEF AND ONE COUNT OF BATTERY WITH A BOND SET AT $1,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT*
