ON 021312, I WAS DISPATCHED TO 7929 WEST DELIA LANE IN CRYSTAL RIVER, AT THE REQUEST OF CORRECTIONS PROBATION OFFICER PARKER, TO CONDUCT A WELL BEING CHECK ON MS VIRGINIA NEVILLE. I MADE CONTACT WITH OFFICER PARKER VIA TELEPHONE, WHO ADVISED THAT SHE HAD CONTACTED MS NEVILLE ON THE TELEPHONE AND HAD HEARD MR JOHN NEVILLE (DEFENDANT) SCREAMING AT HER IN THE BACKGROUND. OFFICER PARKER ADVISED ME THAT MR NEVILLE IS CURRENTLY ON FELONY PROBATION FOR HAVING STABBED MS NEVILLE IN THE PAST, AND THEREFORE, SHE WAS CONCERNED FOR HER WELL BEING. OFFICER PARKER ALSO ADVISED ME THAT ONE OF THE CONDITIONS OF MR NEVILLE PROBATION REQUIRES HIM TO NOT POSSESS OR DRINK ALCOHOL. OFFICER PARKER STATED THAT SHE SUSPECTED MR NEVILLE MAY BE INTOXICATED. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE RESIDENCE, I MADE CONTACT WITH MS NEVILLE, WHO STATED THAT MR NEVILLE HAD LEFT THE RESIDENCE WITH HER SON CHRIS AND THAT THE TWO HAD GONE TO PAY THE ELECTRIC BILL. A SHORT TIME LATER, MR NEVILLE ARRIVED ON SCENE. WHILE SPEAKING WITH MR NEVILLE, I NOTED HIS SPEECH TO BE SLURRED AND SMELLED A STRONG ODOR COMMONLY ASSOCIATED WITH ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE EMANATING FROM HIM. WHEN I ASKED MR NEVILLE IF HE HAD BEEN DRINKING, HE ANSWERED THAT HE HAD NOT. MR NEVILLE WAS THEN PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR VIOLATION OF PROBATION, AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY WHERE HE WAS TURNED OVER TO CORRECTIONAL OFFICER LAUER, A CERTIFIED BREATH TEST OPERATOR. OFFICER LAUER REQUESTED THAT MR NEVILLE SUBMIT TO A LAW TEST OF HIS BREATH TO DETERMINE IF HE HAD CONSUMED ANY ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES TO WHICH HE REFUSED. HOWEVER, HE DID ADMIT TO OFFICER LAUER THAT HE HAD DRANK "A FEW BEERS." MR NEVILLE BOND WAS SET AT PER THE BOND SCHEDULE.
