| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: LONG, BENJAMIN 1303 (AR 15-16674) ON 100215, I WAS DISPATCHED TO CHARLIE'S FISH HOUSE, LOCATED AT 224 NORTHWEST HIGHWAY 19, CRYSTAL RIVER, IN REFERENCE TO A THEFT OF SERVICES. UPON ARRIVAL CONTACT WAS MADE WITH THE COMPLAINANT, MS GINA BUNTS, WHO IS THE MANAGER AT CHARLIE'S FISH HOUSE. SHE ADVISED THAT A CUSTOMER HAD COME IN AND ORDERED ONE MAHI MAHI DINNER VALUED AT $11.99 (BEFORE TAX). WHEN THE BILL WAS DELIVERED TO THE CUSTOMER, LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT, MR TAM MITCHELL, HE ADVISED THE WAITRESS THAT THE ONLY WAY HE COULD PAY FOR HIS MEAL WAS TO HAVE HIS MOTHER FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE PAY WITH A DEBIT CARD OVER THE TELEPHONE. THE MANAGER ADVISED THE DEFENDANT THAT WAS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE METHOD OF PAYMENT AND THE DEFENDANT HAD TO PAY IN PERSON OR SHE WOULD CALL THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE. THE DEFENDANT REFUSED TO PAY FOR HIS MEAL AND AT THIS TIME THE COMPLAINANT CALLED THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE. CONTACT WAS MADE WITH THE DEFENDANT WHO WAS SITTING IN A BOOTH IN THE RESTAURANT STILL EATING HIS MEAL. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE HAD MONEY TO PAY FOR THE MEAL. HE ADVISED HE DID, BUT HE DID NOT WISH TO SPEND THAT MONEY ON FOOD. I GAVE THE DEFENDANT MULTIPLE CHANCES TO PAY FOR HIS MEAL, BUT THE DEFENDANT CONTINUED TO REFUSE TO PAY. I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT HE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK. I PERFORMED A SEARCH OF THE DEFENDANT AND FOUND IN HIS LEFT FRONT POCKET $567.00 IN CASH. I PLACED THE MONEY IN TO THE DEFENDANT'S BACK PACK WHICH WAS TRANSPORTED WITH THE DEFENDANT TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. A COPY OF THE RECEIPT FOR THE MEAL WAS OBTAINED AND LATER TURNED IN TO RECORDS. THIS DEPUTY ADVISED THE DEFENDANT HE IS TRESPASSED FROM CHARLIE'S FISH HOUSE. PLACED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE FOR TRANSPORT TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING NO FURTHER ACTION. |
