| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: NORTON, NICK 0758 (AR13-5014)\t\t(1208) DID UNLAWFULLY COMMIT BATTERY UPON THE VICTIM BY ACTUALLY AND INTENTIONALLY TOUCHING OR STRIKING SAID PERSON AGAINST SAID PERSON'S WILL, OR BY INTENTIONALLY CAUSING BODILY HARM, TO WIT: GRABBING HER BY THE SHIRT AND PUSHING HER AGAINST THE VEHICLE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 784.03(1)(A)(1). ON 032913, AT APPROXIMATELY 2000 HOURS, I RESPONDED TO CRACKERS BAR AND GRILL LOCATED AT 502 NW 6TH STREET IN CRYSTAL RIVER, IN REFERENCE TO A VEHICLE THAT HAD ATTEMPTED TO LEAVE BUT HAD GOT STUCK ON THE SEA ROCKS IN THE PARKING LOT. UPON MY ARRIVAL, I SPOKE WITH CRACKERâS EMPLOYEE/VICTIM, MS CHERISH MALES, WHO ADVISED THAT THE DEFENDANT, MR TIMOTHY NEE, WAS THE PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE THAT THEY HAD CALLED ABOUT. SHE STATED THAT THE DRIVER WAS A WHITE FEMALE, WHO HAD BEEN VERY INTOXICATED AND ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE OFF. WHEN SHE PUT HER VEHICLE IN REVERSE, SHE DROVE OFF THE PAVEMENT AND GOT THE VEHICLE STUCK ON SOME ROCKS THAT WERE LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THEIR PARKING LOT. THE VICTIM STATED THAT WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO MAKE CONTACT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE WAS OK, THE DEFENDANT STEPPED OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND GRABBED THE VICTIM BY HER SHIRT. THE DEFENDANT PUSHED HER TOWARDS THE VEHICLE, STARTED THREATENING HER, BALLED UP HIS FIST AS THOUGH HE WAS GOING TO HIT HER AND STATED âNOBODY IS GOING TO FUCK WITH MEâ. I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT, WHO WAS EXTREMELY INTOXICATED. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN HIM AND THE VICTIM. HE STATED THAT HE DID NOT KNOW, AND THAT HE COULD NOT REMEMBER, BUT IF HE DID ANYTHING WRONG HE WAS SORRY. AFTER THAT, THE DEFENDANT COULD NOT SPEAK COHERENTLY AND EVEN HAD TROUBLE PROVIDING HIS PERSONAL INFORMATION. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED), BEHIND HIS BACK, SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING, WHERE THE DEFENDANTâS BOND WAS SET AT $500.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE VICTIM WAS PROVIDED WITH AN AGENCY CASE CARD BEARING MY NAME AND THE CASE NUMBER AND ADVISED TO CONTACT THIS AGENCY WITH ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS CASE. THE VICTIM ALSO PROVIDED A SWORN WRITTEN STATEMENT WHICH WAS COLLECTED AND WILL LATER BE TURNED IN TO RECORDS. THE VICTIM HAD NO VISIBLE INJURIES, AND DECLINED EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES (EMS). |
