| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: DIXON, MEREDYTH 0108 (AR14-10464) DID UNLAWFULLY AND INTENTIONALLY TOUCH OR STRIKE THE VICTIM AGAINST THE VICTIM'S WILL, OR INTENTIONALLY CAUSE BODILY HARM TO THE VICTIM WHILE THE SAID DEFENDANT WAS BEING DETAINED IN A PRISON, JAIL, OR OTHER DETENTION FACILITY, TO WIT: THE DEFENDANT DID SHOVE THE VICTIM AND SPIT ON HIM, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE, 784.075. ON 052214, I RESPONDED TO THE CYPRESS CREEK JUVENILE FACILITY LOCATED AT 2855 WEST WOODLAND RIDGE TERRACE IN LECANTO, FLORIDA, IN REFERENCE TO A BATTERY ON STAFF. UPON ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE VICTIM, MR MATTHEW DUMONT. HE STATED AT APPROXIMATELY 1358 HOURS, WHILE HE WAS IN THE OMEGA DORM, HE WAS CONTACTED BY THE CASE MANGER, MS OâCONNELL. SHE THEN ASKED THE VICTIM TO HAVE YOUTHFUL OFFENDER, MR EVAN QUIS/DEFENDANT, REPORT TO HER OFFICE SO SHE COULD SPEAK WITH HIM. THE VICTIM STATED THAT THE DEFENDANT WAS IN HIS ROOM, AT WHICH TIME THE VICTIM UNLOCKED THE DOOR AND THE DEFENDANT THEN CLOSED THE DOOR. THE VICTIM ADVISED HE THEN WALKED DOWN TO THE DEFENDANTâS ROOM AND OPENED THE DOOR WITH A KEY. AT THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT WALKED OUT TOWARDS THE CASE MANAGERâS OFFICE LOCATED IN THE DAY ROOM. THE VICTIM FURTHER STATED THAT THE DEFENDANT BEGAN THREATENING HIM VERBALLY FOR NO REASON. THE VICTIM STATED THAT HE IGNORED IT AND CONTINUED WALKING. A SHORT TIME LATER, THE DEFENDANT BECAME AGITATED, WALKED TOWARD THE VICTIM AND BEGAN POINTING HIS FINGER IN HIS FACE. THE VICTIM THEN ATTEMPTED TO REDIRECT THE DEFENDANT AWAY WHICH MET WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. THE VICTIM STATED THE DEFENDANT THEN SHOVED HIM SEVERAL TIMES USING BOTH OF HIS HANDS AND PUSHING THE VICTIM IN HIS CHEST. THE VICTIM ADVISED THAT HE CONTINUED TO ATTEMPT TO VERBALLY REDIRECT THE DEFENDANT, AT WHICH TIME THE DEFENDANT WALKED AWAY. THE DEFENDANT THEN QUICKLY TURNED AROUND AND SPIT ON THE VICTIM, AT WHICH TIME A CODE BLUE STRONG WAS CALLED. WHEN THE DEFENDANT HEARD THE CODE CALL, HE TURNED, PULLED UP HIS SHORTS AND BALLED UP HIS FISTS. THE DEFENDANT THEN RAN TOWARD THE VICTIM IN A VERY AGGRESSIVE MANNER. AT THAT TIME THE VICTIM ATTEMPTED TO PROTECT HIMSELF FROM FURTHER INJURY BY AGAIN REDIRECTING THE DEFENDANT WITH HIS HANDS, AND PUSHING THE DEFENDANT UP AGAINST THE WALL UNTIL OTHER STAFF ARRIVED. ONCE OTHER STAFF ARRIVED, THE DEFENDANT WAS TAKEN TO A LOCK DOWN LOCATION. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT I REVIEWED THE SURVEILLANCE VIDEO, WHERE I OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT BEING EXTREMELY AGGRESSIVE BY PUSHING, SHOVING AND SPITTING ON THE VICTIM. THE DEFENDANT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR BATTERY ON DETENTION STAFF. THE DEFENDANT WAS HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. UPON ARRIVAL, THE DEFENDANT WAS TURNED OVER TO DETENTION STAFF FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANTâS BOND WAS SET AT PER THE LISTED CHARGE, AND THE DEFENDANT ALREADY BEING INCARCERATED AT CYPRESS CREEK FACILITY. |
