THE PROPERTY REMOVED FROM THE PREMISE TOTALED APPROXIMATELY $600.00. THE COMPLAINANT COMPLETED A SWORN STATEMENT CONFIRMING THAT AT NO TIME WAS MR SLATTON GRANTED PERMISSION TO REMOVE ANY ITEMS FROM THE PROPERTY.

MR SLATTON IS SEEN IN THE VIDEO PLACING THE STOLEN ITEMS INTO HIS VEHICLE WITH THE HELP OF MR MICHAEL AUTENRIETH AND DRIVING AWAY. ON 4/20/12 CONTACT WAS MADE WITH MR AUTENRIETH AND HE ADVISED THAT HE HAD HELPED THE SUSPECT MR SLATTON LOAD THE STOLEN INTAKE MANIFOLDS INTO MR SLATTONâS VEHICLE BUT HE HAD NO KNOWLEDGE THAT THE MANIFOLDS WERE STOLEN. MR AUTENRIETH STATED THE HE THOUGHT THE SUSPECT MR SLATTON HAD PERMISSION TO TAKE THE ITEMS AND THAT IF HE KNEW THEY WERE STOLEN HE WOULD NOT HAVE HELPED LOAD THE ITEMS INTO MR SLATTONâS VEHICLE. MR AUTENRIETH ALSO STATED THAT HE WAS NOT PROVIDED ANY MONEY FROM MR SLATTON. I NEXT RESPONDED TO TAURUS METAL RECYCLING AT 7410 S BEDFORD ROAD IN FLORAL CITY, FL. UPON MAKING CONTACT WITH THE OWNER, I WAS PROVIDED TWO TRANSACTION FORMS, ONE DATED 4/11/12 AND THE OTHER DATED 4/17/12. ON THE TRANSACTION FORM DATED 4/11/12 THERE IS A PICTURE OF THE SUSPECT MATTHEW SLATTON ALONG WITH THE ALUMINUM INTAKE MANIFOLDS THAT WERE STOLEN IN REFERENCE TO THIS CASE. MR SLATTON WAS PAID $21.47 AND SIGNED THE TRANSACTION FORM STATING HE WAS THE LAWFUL OWNER OF THE MERCHANDISE PROVIDED TO THE METAL RECYCLER. ON THE TRANSACTION FORM DATED 4/17/12 THERE IS A PICTURE OF THE SUSPECT ALONG WITH THE CV AXLE THAT WAS STOLEN IN REFERENCE TO THIS CASE. MR SLATTON WAS PAID $17.64 AND SIGNED THE TRANSACTION FORM STATING HE WAS THE LAWFUL OWNER OF THE MERCHANDISE PROVIDED TO THE METAL RECYCLER. ON 4/25/12 CONTACT WAS MADE WITH THE SUSPECT MR MATTHEW SLATTON AND HE WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY WHERE HIS BOND WAS SET AT ROR. WHILE EN ROUTE TO THE JAIL MR SLATTON ADVISED ME THAT HE KNEW IT WAS WRONG FOR HIM TO TAKE THE ITEMS FROM WTI BUT THAT HE NEEDED GAS MONEY AND THAT THE MONEY HE RECEIVED FROM THE SCRAP YARD WAS USED TO PURCHASE GASOLINE FOR HIS CAR. |
