BOTH INDIVIDUALS WERE BROUGHT BACK TO THE CRASH SCENE, AT WHICH TIME, I SPOKE WITH ONE OF THE MALES SUBJECTS WHO STATED THAT HE WAS THE PASSENGER OF THE VEHICLE AND THAT THE DEFENDANT WAS DRIVING IT. HE STATED THAT THEY HAD JUST LEFT MARGARITA GRILL AND THAT THE DEFENDANT WANTED TO SHOW HIS OFF ROAD CAPABILITIES WITH HIS SPORTS UTILITY VEHICLE. THE PASSENGER THEN STATED THAT THE DEFENDANT LEFT THE ROADWAY AND BEGAN DRIVING ON THE RIGHT OF WAY WHEN THEY CRASHED INTO A DITCH AND LANDED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. HE STATED THEY THEN BOTH EXITED THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW AND BEGAN WALKING BACK TO THEIR MOTEL ROOM. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT, MR STERLING MCLAMORE AND ADVISED HIM THAT I WAS CONDUCTING A POSSIBLY CRIMINAL TRAFFIC CRASH INVESTIGATION, AT WHICH TIME, I ASKED HIM IF HE COULD EXPLAIN WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO HIS VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT WORDS WERE SLIGHTLY SLURRED AND HIS EYES WERE GLASSY. THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT HE WAS CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR HIS VEHICLE. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT HOW HIS VEHICLE MANAGED TO LAND ON ITS SIDE IN THE CANAL, TO WHICH HE STATED THAT HE DID NOT KNOW. I COULD ALSO SMELL A STRONG ODOR OF AN ALCOHOL CONTENT ADMITTING FROM THE DEFENDANT'S PERSON. I THEN INFORMED THAT THE DEFENDANT THAT HIS PASSENGER ADVISED THAT HE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN IT CRASHED, TO WHICH THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT HE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE. AT THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE-LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK, SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANT WAS CHARGED WITH ONE COUNT OF LEAVING THE SCENE OF AN ACCIDENT WITH PROPERTY DAMAGE WITH A BOND SET AT $250.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE.
