[ STATEMENT OF PROBABLE CAUSE / NARRATIVE ]

Lester Robert Young did commit aggravated battery upon Jose Fernando Benitez Dias when he struck him in the face
with a Mason jar. The strike to the face caused many lacerations to Dias' face. This is pursuant to F.S.S. 784.045.1a2.

On April 1, 2018 I was working an extra detail at Morada Bay Beach Cafe located in Islamorada, Monroe County,
Florida. I was walking in from US 1 with Deputy Alvarez when a patron ran up to me and exclaimed, "There is a fight,
come quick, a fight." The patron was pointing towards the south entrance to Morada Bay. Upon my arrival on foot I
observed a Hispanic male wearing a white shirt with black hair, laying on the ground. I recognized the victim from
escorting him out to the parking lot for causing a disturbance earlier. The male later identified as Jose Fernando
Benitez Dias was laying on the ground on his back. There was blood coming from his mouth, cheeks, eye orbits, and
forehead. There was blood on the front of his white shirt. Dias was laying motionless but was breathing.

A few feet away was a white male identified as Lester Robert Young by his Florida driver license. There were several
security guards surrounding Young telling him to get on the ground. I placed Young into handcuffs. While placing
Young in handcuffs, I observed a slice to Young's thumb. Young stated, "I took it too far, I did not mean to hurt
anyone."

Paramedics arrived on-scene and started to treat Dias. Due to the extent of Dias' injuries Rescue advised Dias needed to
be transported via helicopter to Jackson Memorial Trauma Center. Rescue transported Dias to Coral Shores High
School to meet the helicopter for transport to Miami.

Witnesses Ramos and Torres both explained they saw Young run up to Dias and hit him in the face with something class.
Dias fell to the ground and Young got on top of Dias and struck Dias in the face with a fist, multiple times.

I spoke to the Head of Security (wearing a white shirt and not identified). He stated, "I saw (Young) run up to (Dias) and
smash him in the face with a mason jar. (Young) then got on top of (Dias) and punched him in the face."

I read Miranda Warning to Young from my issued Miranda Card. I asked Young, "Who did you hit tonight?" Young
replied, "The Hispanic kid in the white shirt."

REPORT NO: MCSO18ARR001564
I asked Young, "Did you have anything in your hand?" Young replied, " I do not know, I think it was something glass."
I asked Young, "Are you sorry for hitting him?" Young replied, "Yes I am, I should not have done it."
I asked Young, "Why did you did you hit him?" Young replied, "That guy grouped my wife and tried to reach up her
skirt. Then she saw him in the parking lot and got upset. I lost it and attacked him." Young continued and said, "Aren't
I not justified for self-defense for my wife?"

Based on witness statements and Young's own admission, this Deputy believes there to be enough probable cause to arrest
Lester Robert Young.

Young was charged with Aggravated Battery for striking Jose Fernando Benitez Dias in the face with a Mason jar. The
strike to the face caused many lacerations to Dias' face. This is pursuant to F.S.S. 784.045.1a2.

This was recorded on my In-Car Arbitrator and BWC.

I hereby swear (or affirm) that the facts established on this affidavit are true and correct to the best of my knowledge
and belief.
