| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: FAHERTY, JOSEPH 0245 (AR15-16449) DID UNLAWFULLY, WILLFULLY AND MALICIOUSLY INJURE OR DAMAGE CERTAIN PROPERTY OF CREST SCHOOL, TO-WIT: CEILING TILES, METAL GRATES AND CEILING INSULATION, SAID DAMAGE BEING OF A VALUE OF MORE THAN $200.00 AND LESS THAN $1,000.00, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATUTES 806.13(1)(B)(2). ON 091615, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM CREST SCHOOL, STATING THAT I WAS NEEDED IMMEDIATELY ON CAMPUS. WHILE EN ROUTE, I ALSO RECEIVED A CALL FROM DEPUTY WEAKS (0553), STATING THAT I WAS NEEDED ON THE CAMPUS OF CREST SCHOOL AND I ADVISED HIM THAT I ALREADY HAD RECEIVED A TELEPHONE CALL. WHEN I ARRIVED AT CREST SCHOOL, I MADE CONTACT WITH PRINCIPAL/COMPLAINANT, MR LEE MULDER, AND THE TEACHER'S ADIE/WITNESS, MR MCKINLEY FRANKLIN, WHO WERE WITH THE DEFENDANT, MR PETER HAMMOCK, IN ROOM NUMBER 204. WHEN I ENTERED THE ROOM, I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT MULTIPLE CEILING TILES WERE PULLED DOWN AND LYING ON THE FLOOR. I ASKED MR MULDER WHAT HAD HAPPENED. THE DEFENDANT THEN STATED "I DID THAT." MR MULDER ADVISED ME THAT THE DEFENDANT WAS USING PROFANITY AND THREATS TOWARDS A SUBSTITUTE TEACHER, AND HE LEFT CLASS WITHOUT PERMISSION. WHILE HE WAS WALKING DOWN THE HALLWAY HE STARTED DESTROYING STUDENT ARTWORK THAT WAS ON THE WALLS AND HE PUSHED MR FRANKLIN. MR FRANKLIN THEN TRANSPORTED HIM WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF MR MULDER TO ROOM 204, WITH THE HOPES TO DEESCALATE THE DEFENDANT. MR MULDER ADVISED THAT WHILE IN THE ROOM, THE DEFENDANT PROCEEDED TO TEAR DOWN CEILING TILES, THE METAL GRATES AND THE INSULATION. I ASKED MR FRANKLIN IF HE WANTED TO PURSUE CRIMINAL CHARGES ON THE BATTERY, AT WHICH TIME, HE STATED THAT HE DID NOT WISH TO PRESS CHARGES. MR MULDER DID ADVISE THAT HE DID WANT THE DEFENDANT ARRESTED, FOR THE DAMAGES TO THE SCHOOL PROPERTY. THE DEFENDANT WAS HANDCUFFED BEHIND HIS BACK (DOUBLE LOCKED) AND PLACED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. HE WAS 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. PHOTOGRAPHS WILL BE TAKEN OF THE DAMAGED PROPERTY AND DOWNLOADED TO QUETEL. |
