ON 011115 AT 2121 HOURS, I WAS DISPATCHED TO 1224 NORTH U S HIGHWAY 41, THE CIRCLE K, IN REFERENCE TO A THEFT. UPON ARRIVAL AT 2124 HOURS, I SPOKE WITH THE WITNESS, MS KHIRSTA STAR ANDERSON, WHO IS A RETAIL CLERK AT CIRCLE K. THE WITNESS ADVISED THAT THE DEFENDANT, MR JOSEPH ALLEGRETTO, WALKED INTO THE STORE AND ASKED FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES IF HE COULD HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE FOR FREE, TO WHICH SHE STATED THAT SHE ADVISED HIM "NO" ALL FOUR TIMES. THE WITNESS THEN STATED THAT THE DEFENDANT LEFT THE STORE, THEN RETURNED AND STARTED TO POUR A CUP OF COFFEE VALUED AT $1.99. SHE ASKED HIM IF HE WAS GOING TO PAY FOR THE COFFEE, TO WHICH THE DEFENDANT DID NOT ANSWER. THE WITNESS ADVISED HE THEN STARTED EATING A CHICKEN BURRITO, VALUED ATF $2.29. AFTER HE WAS FINISHED EATING THE CHICKEN BURRITO, HE THEN ATE THREE JUMBO HOT AND SPICY HOTDOGS, VALUED AT $1.59 EACH. THE WITNESS THEN STATED TO THE DEFENDANT HE NEEDED TO PAY OR LEAVE, TO WHICH HE STATED "I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY", THEN LEFT THE STORE. IN ADDITION TO MS ANDERSON'S VERBAL STATEMENT, SHE ALSO PROVIDED ME WITH A WRITTEN STATEMENT, WHICH WAS TURNED INTO RECORDS. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT, WHO STATED THAT HE ATE THREE HOTDOGS, A CHICKEN BURRITO AND DRANK TWO CUPS OF COFFEE. I THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE HAD ANY INTENTION TO PAY FOR THE ITEMS HE HAD CONSUMED, TO WHICH HE STATED "I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY ON MY CARD." I THEN ASKED HIM AGAIN IF HE HAD ANY INTENTIONS OF PAYING FOR THE ITEMS HE HAD CONSUMED, TO WHICH HE ANSWERED, "NO I DONâT HAVE ANY MONEY." THE DEFENDANT REFUSED TO WRITE A WRITTEN STATEMENT. AFTER MY INVESTIGATION I FIND THE DEFENDANT HAS COMMITTED THE CRIME OF RETAIL THEFT. I ARRESTED THE DEFENDANT, PLACED HIM IN HANDCUFFS (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK AND SEARCHED HIM. DEPUTY N HESSE (0689) READ THE DEFENDANT HIS MIRANDA WARNINGS OFF AN AGENCY ISSUED MIRANDA CARD, TO WHICH THE DEFENDANT WAIVED HIS RIGHT TO COUNSEL. I THEN PLACED THE DEFENDANT IN MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED HIM TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. HIS BOND WAS SET AT $500.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
