Walmart Manager, William Dorkowski, requested that the defendant be trespassed from Walmart. I later issued the defendant a trespass warning which he acknowledged to and signed at central booking. Dorkowski also received a signed copy of the trespass warning.
Dorkowski provided DVD video surveillance of the disturbance which was later entered into evidence at the Port Richey Police Department.
The defendant was transported to central booking for processing without incident. While in central booking, the defendant apologized and stated that he became angry and cursed because he was "having a bad day."
