ON 053009 AT 0239 HOURS, I ARRIVED ON SCENE AT THE BELLA OASIS LOCATED AT, 4076 SOUTH SUNCOAST BOULEVARD, IN HOMOSASSA, IN REFERENCE TO A DISTURBANCE. UPON ARRIVAL, CONTACT WAS MADE with THE COMPLAINANT, WHO STATED THAT HE IS A MANAGER AT THE BELLA OASIS AND ADVISED THAT the DEFENDANT, MR JOHN PHILLIPS, AND HIS GIRLFRIEND WERE STAYING IN ROOM 142, AND THAT APPARENTLY THE DEFENDANT HAD BROKEN THE FRONT WINDOW TO HIS ROOM. I ALSO MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT UPON ARRIVAL, WHO APPEARED VERY INTOXICATED, SLURRING WORDS, STAGGERING, AND BLEEDING FROM HIS RIGHT HAND. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT HOW HE CUT HIS HANDS, TO WHICH HE STATED THAT HE PUNCHED THE FRONT WINDOW OF HIS ROOM, AND STATED THAT HE would PAY FOR THE WINDOW. I ASKED HIM MULTIPLE TIMES WHY HE HAD BROKEN the WINDOW, TO WHICH HE STATED that HE WAS MAD. I ASKED the DEFENDANT WHY HE WAS MAD, TO WHICH HE STATED THAT HIS GIRLFRIEND/WITNESS APPARENTLY LOCKED HIM OUT OF the ROOM, and UPON DOING SO THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT HE PUNCHED THE FRONT WINDOW AND THEN WALKED TO THE FRONT DESK. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES (EMS) ARRIVED ON SCENE AND BANDAGED THE DEFENDANT'S RIGHT HAND. THE COMPLAINANT ADVISED that THE WINDOW that WAS BROKEN BY THE DEFENDANT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $780.00 TO FIX. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE WITNESS/GIRLFRIEND OF THE DEFENDANT, TO which SHE STATED THAT SHE WAS ASLEEP DURING the WHOLE INCIDENT AND DID NOT HEAR A SOUND. I OBSERVED THE FRONT WINDOW OF THE DEFENDANT'S ROOM TO HAVE A THREE FOOT BY FOUR FOOT HOLE. PHOTOGRAPHS WERE TAKEN, SEE THE CST REPORT. AN AGENCY CASE CARD WAS PROVIDED TO ALL PERTAINING PARTIES. I THEN ADVISED THE DEFENDANT THAT HE WAS UNDER ARREST FOR CRIMINAL MISCHIEF. HE WAS HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE-LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK and SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $1,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
