| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: RAMOS, ROBALDO 0515 (AR11124090) did knowingly, actually and intentionally ASSAULT A DEPUTY, a LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, against the will of that person while knowing that the said OFFICER was engaged in a lawful performance of HIS legal duties, in violation of Florida Statute 784.07. ON 122311 I WAS DISPATCHED TO 7965 EAST GATOR COURT IN REFERENCE TO THE DEFENDANT, LATER IDENTIFIED AS CRYSTAL BUZZELL, ENTERING HER NEIGHBOR'S RESIDENCE WITHOUT THE NEIGHBOR'S PERMISSION. WHILE EN ROUTE, DISPATCH ADVISED THIS DEPUTY THAT THE DEFENDANT HAD LEFT MR SANTANA'S RESIDENCE AND returned TO HER HOME. UPON ARRIVAL I MADE CONTACT WITH MR MIGUEL SANTANA (COMPLAINANT) WHO ADVISED THAT HIS NEIGHBOR, MS CRYSTAL BUZZELL, (DEFENDANT) WAS AT HIS RESIDENCE ON 122211 AT APPROXIMATELY 2200 HOURS CAUSING A DISTURBANCE AND ATTEMPTING TO OPEN HIS DOOR. AT THAT TIME HE CONTACTED THIS AGENCY AND WAS ADVISED TO CONTACT THIS AGENCY AGAIN WITH ANY FURTHER PROBLEMS. ON 122311 MR SANTANA ARRIVED AT HIS RESIDENCE WHERE HE FOUND THE DEFENDANT TO BE IN HIS RESIDENCE WITHOUT HIS PERMISSION OR HIS KNOWLEDGE. AT THAT TIME MR SANTANA ADVISED ME THE DEFENDANT REFUSED TO LEAVE AND HE AGAIN CONTACTED THIS AGENCY FOR ASSISTANCE. HE ADVISED THAT HE WISHED TO HAVE THE DEFENDANT TRESPASSED FROM HIS RESIDENCE AND ADVISED THE DEFENDANT IS ALWAYS INTOXICATED. I RESponded TO THE DEFendant's RESidence AT 7965 EAST GATOR CourT, and as i approached this location, i observed a female to be sitting on the front porch of the residence. at that time i asked the defendant if her name was crystal AND she responded, "yeah". i then asked her what was going on between her and her neighbor, MR santanA, WHERE SHE stated, nothing. i advised THE DEFENDANT THAT the reason for my visiT was THAT she had been at MR santanA's RESIDENCE and refused to leave. she then replied, "its okay for me to clean that fuckers toilet the other day, and now he doesn't want me there?" i advised her that was correct and that she was being trespassed from MR santANA'S PROPERTY AT HIS REQUEST. AT THAT TIME SHE BECAME VERY ANGRY AND TOLD ME TO "GET THE FUCK OFF MY PROPERTY, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO BE HERE". I THEN ADVISED THE DEFENDANT THAT IF SHE RETURNED TO MR SANTANA'S RESIDENCE, SHE WOULD BE ARRESTED FOR TRESPASS AFTER WARNING. THE DEFENDANT THEN ADVISED, "I DON'T GIVE A FUCK. I WILL BE OUT OF JAIL IN NO TIME. JAIL IS NOTHING TO ME. I DID FIVE YEARS IN PRISON". I AGAIN ADVISED THE DEFENDAnT THAT SHE WAS NOT ALLOWED TO RETURN TO MR SANTANA'S RESIDENCE AND WOULD BE ARRESTED IF SHE DID. AT THAT TIME THE DEFENDANT CONTINUED TO YELL AND CURSE AT THIS DEPUTY, WHILE SWAYING BACK AND FORTH AND GETTING UP AND DOWN FROM HER SEAT. WHILE SPEAKING WITH THE DEFENDANT, I OBSERVED HER SPEECH TO BE SLURRED. THE DEFENDANT DID MENTION SHE HAD BEEN DRINKING WHILE SPEAKING WITH THIS DEPUTY, AND ADVISED THERE WAS NO LAW AGAINST HER DRINKING AT HER OWN RESIDENCE. ANOTHER NEIGHBOR, MR MANUEL MARKS, (WITNESS) ADVISED THE DEFENDANT SEVERAL TIMES TO CALM DOWN BEFORE SHE GETS ARRESTED, AT WHICH TIME THE DEFENDANT SAT BACK DOWN. AT THAT TIME THIS DEPUTY BEGAN TO WALK AWAY AND HEARD THE DEFENDANT GET UP FROM HER CHAIR. AS I TURNED AROUND, THE DEFENDANT GRABBED A RED OBJECT FROM THE PORCH RAILING AND THREW IT AT ME BUT MISSED. I THEN APPROACHED THE DEFENDANT AND ADVISED HER that SHE WAS UNDER ARREST FOR ASSAULTING AN OFFICER. I THEN ASKED HER TO STAND UP WHERE SHE REMAINED SEATED WITH HER ARMS CROSSED OVER HER CHEST. I GRABBED THE DEFENDANT BY THE LEFT ARM AND PULLED HER UP AT WHICH TIME SHE ATTEMPTED TO PULL AWAY. I THEN PULLED THE DEFENDANT DOWN TO THE GROUND BY HER LEFT ARM AND PLACED ONE HANDCUFF ON HER LEFT ARM. AS I ATTEMPTED TO GRAB HER RIGHT ARM SHE CONTINUED TO RESIST AND PULL AWAY. I THEN ADVISED THE DEFENDANT IF SHE CONTINUED TO RESIST SHE WOULD BE TASERED, AT WHICH TIME SHE COMPLIED AND PLACED HER RIGHT ARM BEHIND HER BACK. I THEN SECURED HER IN HANDCUFFS (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HER BACK AND SEAT BELTED HER IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. I ATTEMPTED TO OBTAIN PERSONAL informatioN FROM THE DEFENDANT, HOWEVER, SHE TOLD ME THAT SHE DID NOT REMEMBER ANYTHING. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE DETENTION FACILITY THE DEFENDANT WAS TURNED OVER TO DETENTION STAFF WHERE HER BOND WAS SET AT $5,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE.
