| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: WEST, ROY 0421 (AR11122510) THE DEFENDANT DID KNOWINGLY COMMIT A SCHEME TO DEFRAUD LESS THAN $20,000.00, IN WHICH SHE CONDUCTED A SYSTEMATIC, ONGOING COURSE OF CONDUCT WITH INTENT TO DEFRAUD ONE OR MORE PERSONS, OR WITH INTENT TO OBTAIN PROPERTY FROM ONE OR MORE PERSONS BY FALSE OR FRAUDULENT PRETENSES, REPRESENTATIONS OR PROMISES OR WILLFUL MISREPRESENTATIONS OF A FUTURE ACT, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE NUMBER 817.034(4)(A)(3). ON 083011, AT APPROXIMATELY 1336 HOURS, I MADE CONTACT WITH MS JOYCE NEWMAN IN REGARDS TO POSSIBLY BEING A SUSPECT IN THE PASSING OF SOME WORTHLESS CHECKS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS AT ACE HARDWARE IN INVERNESS. UPON MAKING CONTACT WITH THE SUSPECT AT HER RESIDENCE, THE SUSPECT WAS IN THE FRONT YARD WHEN I DROVE UP. I ASKED IF SHE WOULD SPEAK WITH ME AND SHE ADVISED she would, AND MOVED AWAY FROM THE CROWD SHE WAS WITH. I ASKED IF SHE KNEW WHY I WAS THERE AND SHE ADVISED ME IT WAS IN REGARDS TO SOME check ACTIVITY WITH SOME FRIENDS WHO HAD BEEN WRITING CHECKS AT SEVERAL LOCATIONS AROUND TOWN, TO INCLUDE ACE HARDWARE. I ASKED HER TO EXPLAIN, AT WHICH TIME SHE ADVISED ME THAT OVER A WEEK AGO SHE DID FIND OUT THAT THE THOMASONS WERE WRITING BAD CHECKS. SHE FURTHER ADVISED MS THOMASON WAS STEALING CHECKS FROM AN ELDERLY MAN SHE CLEANED HOUSE FOR AND THEY WERE GOING TO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS AROUND TOWN CASHING THEM. SHE ADVISED WHEN SHE SAW THEM YESTERDAY 082911, SHE TOLD THEM NOT TO COME BACK BECAUSE SHE DOES NOT DO THAT TYPE OF THING. I ASKED IF SHE HAD ANY OTHER CONTACT WITH THE THOMASONS RECENTLY, AND TO THIS SHE STATED, NO. AT THIS POINT MS NEWMAN ASKED ME WHY I WAS THERE, AND I TOLD HER I WAS HERE FOR THAT REASON, AND FOR THE REASON OF HER GOING WITH THE THOMASONS FOR SOME OF THE FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY. I ADVISED HER THAT I HAVE WITNESSES THAT PUT HER AT ACE HARDWARE WHERE SHE, ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, RETURNED ITEMS THAT WERE PURCHASED WITH THOSE WORTHLESS CHECKS, AND SHE RECEIVED CASH; ONCE ON 081911 AT 1546 HOURS FOR $7.99 WITH A TAX OF $.48 FOR TOTAL OF $8.47, AND AGAIN ON 081911 AT 1554 HOURS, IN THE AMOUNT OF $3.99 WITH THE TAX BEING $.24 FOR A TOTAL OF $4.23. TO THIS SHE DROPPED HER MOUTH OPEN AND GOT UPSET. I ASKED MS NEWMAN IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER LOCATIONS SHE WISHED TO TELL ME ABOUT, TO which SHE DECLINED. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) AND SEARCHED. SHE WAS THEN PLACED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. I THEN ASKED ONE OF THE PEOPLE THERE TO GO INSIDE THE RESIDENCE AND GET MS NEWMAN A PAIR OF FLIP FLOPS SO SHE HAD SHOES IN JAIL. I THEN TRANSPORTED THE DEFENDANT TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $2000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
