Summary
In Florida, aggravated battery charges can be elevated if a weapon like a crowbar is involved. The fellow officer rule allows officers to rely on information from other officers, but witness credibility, especially if under drug influence, can impact probable cause.

If you have concerns, consider consulting a local attorney for personalized advice.Full Conversation

Edward, thanks for sharing the details. In Florida, aggravated battery can be charged if a deadly weapon is used or if significant injury occurs. A crowbar could be considered a weapon, elevating the charge. Were there any injuries involved in the incident?
the victim/witness and other witnesses are drug addicts, on the date of the incident; given cause to the charged offenses. Do *.*(*) apply
In Florida, Statute *.*(*) allows an officer to arrest a person without a warrant if there is probable cause to believe a felony has been committed. The presence of drug addiction in witnesses doesn't directly affect this statute. It's more about the circumstances and evidence of the felony itself.
