COMMITTING A FELONY OF THE THIRD DEGREE, PUNISHABLE AS PROVIDED IN S. 775.082, S. 775.083, OR S. 775.084., IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 316.027(1)(A) ON 052213, I RESPONDED TO A VEHICLE CRASH WHICH HAD OCCURRED AT 52 GREENTREE STREET, HOMOSASSA. UPON MY ARRIVAL, I WAS ADVISED BY A CITRUS COUNTY DEPUTY WHO HAD ARRIVED ON SCENE THAT THE DRIVER, LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT, MS CORINNE ANN CULVER, HAD ALREADY LEFT THE SCENE AFTER THE CRASH. THE OTHER DRIVER INVOLVED HAD BEEN TRANSPORTED TO OAK HILL HOSPITAL, FOR WHAT APPEARED TO BE MINOR INJURIES TO HIS NECK, SUSTAINED FROM THE CRASH. I SPOKE WITH THE DEFENDANTâS MOTHER AT THEIR RESIDENCE, AND SHE VERIFIED THAT THE DEFENDANT HAD IN FACT BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH. SHE ADVISED THAT HER DAUGHTER WOULD LIKELY BE BACK LATER IN THE EVENING. THE SECOND DRIVER WHO HAD BEEN INJURED ALSO POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED THE DEFENDANT, AS THEY ARE NEIGHBORS. I THEN CLEARED THE SCENE AT 1730 HOURS. AT APPROXIMATELY 1900 HOURS, I RECEIVED A TELEPHONE CALL FROM THE CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE, ADVISING THAT THEY HAD MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT ON AN UNRELATED INCIDENT, AND THAT SHE WAS CURRENTLY AT HER ADDRESS ON GREENTREE STREET. I THEN RESPONDED TO THIS ADDRESS, AND MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT. I THEN PLACED THE DEFENDANT UNDER ARREST, FOR A HIT AND RUN ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES. SHE WAS HANDCUFFED, DOUBLE LOCKED BEHIND HER BACK, AND SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. I THEN TRANSPORTED THE DEFENDANT TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. UPON ARRIVAL, SHE WAS RELEASED TO DETENTION FACILITY STAFF, FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. WHILE EN ROUTE TO THE DETENTION FACILITY, THE DEFENDANT ADVISED THAT THE OTHER VEHICLE HAD BACKED IN TO HER, AND THAT IT FELT LIKE JUST A TAP. SHE STATED THAT FOR THIS REASON, SHE HAD THOUGHT THAT SINCE SHE WAS NOT AT FAULT, SHE COULD LEAVE; AND SO SHE DID, PROCEEDING ON WITH HER DAY. THE DEFENDANT WAS CHARGED WITH OF LEAVING THE SCENE OF A CRASH WITH INJURY, WITH HER BOND SET AT $2,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
