ON 022409 I WAS DISPATCHED TO BEALL'S DEPARTMENT STORE LOCATED AT 345 SUNCOAST BOULEVARD IN CRYSTAL RIVER . UPON MY ARRIVAL, CONTACT WAS MADE WITH THE LOSS PREVENTION OFFICER FOR BEALL'S DEPARTMENT STORE, WHO ADVISED THAT HE HAD OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT COME INTO THE STORE AND RESPOND TO SEVERAL LOCATIONS WHERE HE REMOVED TAGS FROM MERCHANDISE AND PUT SAID MERCHANDISE INTO HIS POCKET. WHEN THE OFFICER CONFRONTED THE DEFENDANT OUT IN THE PARKING LOT, THE DEFENDANT ATTEMPTED TO RUN AWAY FROM THE LOSS PREVENTION OFFICER, WHO THEN TOOK MR AMES INTO CUSTODY AND BROUGHT HIM BACK TO THE LOSS PREVENTION OFFICE. DUE TO MR AMES' VERBAL THREATS TOWARD THE OFFICER, HE WAS PLACED IN HANDCUFFS BY THE OFFICER AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION. MR AMES HAD CALMED DOWN UPON MY ARRIVAL AND ASSISTED IN THE RECOVERY OF ALL THE ITEMS HE HAD TAKEN. MR AMES ALSO ADVISED THIS WAS HIS THIRD ARREST IN REFERENCE TO RETAIL THEFT. AT THAT POINT, I ADVISED MR AMES THAT WOULD RAISE THE OFFENSE TO A THIRD DEGREE FELONY AND THAT I WOULD NOTIFY HIM OF THE BOND AMOUNT. TWO COPIES OF THE BEALL'S SECURITY TAPES WERE GIVEN TO THIS DEPUTY SHOWING THE DEFENDANT'S ACTIONS DURING THE COURSE OF HIS BEING LOCATED WITHIN THE STORE, REMOVING THE VARIOUS ITEMS AND PLACING THEM INSIDE HIS JACKET. THE DEFENDANT WAS HANDCUFFED, DOUBLE LOCKED BEHIND HIS BACK AND PLACED INTO THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. HIS BOND WAS SET AT $2,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
