| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: CLARK, CORRY 0711 (AR10116440) DID, KNOWING HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE OR DRIVING PRIVILEGE HAD BEEN CANCELLED, SUSPENDED OR REVOKED, DRIVE A MOTOR VEHICLE UPON THE HIGHWAYS OF THIS STATE WHILE SUCH LICENSE OR PRIVILEGE WAS CANCELLED, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 322.34(2)(A). ON 082210 AT APPROXIMATELY 1137 HOURS, I WAS DRIVING WESTBOUND ON COUNTY ROAD 486 WHEN I OBSERVED A RED GMC SPORT UTILITY VEHICLE (SUV), BEARING FLORIDA TAG K383VL, WITH A WHITE SKULL STICKER ON THE REAR WINDOW OF THE VEHICLE. I HAD PREVIOUSLY MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER OF THAT VEHICLE, AND DURING THOSE ENCOUNTERS I HAD RUN THE DRIVER'S INFORMATION THROUGH TELETYPE WHICH CONFIRMED THE DRIVER HAD A SUSPENDED DRIVER'S LICENSE. WHILE TRAVELING ON COUNTY ROAD 486 I OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT DRIVING THE SAME VEHICLE WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW DOWN; THEREFORE, MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR THIS DEPUTY TO CONFIRM THAT IT WAS, IN FACT, THE DEFENDANT. AT THAT TIME I INITIATED A TRAFFIC STOP AND UPON MAKING CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER HE STATED HE FORGOT HIS LICENSE AT HOME. HE THEN RECOGNIZED ME FROM PREVIOUS ENCOUNTERS AND STATED THAT HIS WIFE HAD TAKEN HIM DOWN TO THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLE (dmv) AND HAD HIS LICENSE REINSTATED; HOWEVER, HE HAD LEFT IT AT HOME. A CHECK THROUGH D.A.V.I.D. CONFIRMED THAT THE DEFENDANT'S DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED. I ALSO MADE CONTACT WITH TELETYPE WHO ALSO CONFIRMED THE DEFENDANT'S LICENSE WAS STILL SUSPENDED. AT THAT TIME I PLACED THE DEFENDANT IN HANDCUFFS (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK, ADVISED HIM OF HIS RIGHTS, AND PLACED HIM IN THE BACK SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT HIS WIFE WOULD BE ABLE TO COME AND PICK UP THE VEHICLE. AT THAT TIME I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT'S WIFE AND ARRANGED FOR HER TO COME AND PICK UP THE VEHICLE. DEPUTY WILSON RESPONDED AS BACKUP AND STAYED WITH THE VEHICLE AT THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY UNTIL THE DEFENDANT'S WIFE ARRIVED. I TRANSPORTED THE DEFENDANT TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. DEPUTY WILSON STATED THAT WHEN THE DEFENDANT'S WIFE CAME AND PICKED UP THE VEHICLE, SHE STATED SHE WAS NOT AWARE THAT THE DEFENDANT HAD A SUSPENDED DRIVER'S LICENSE AND DID NOT, AT ANY TIME, TAKE THE DEFENDANT TO THE DMV. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $500.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. A CRIMINAL CITATION WAS ISSUED TO THE DEFENDANT; CITATION NUMBER 2307-GJE5 WITH A COURT DATE OF 091610 AT 1300 HOURS. I ALSO PROVIDED THE DEFENDANT WITH THE ADA FORM. "If you are a person with a disability who needs any accommodation in order to participate in this proceeding, you are entitled, at no cost to you, to the provision of certain assistance. Please contact the ADA Coordinator at the Office of the Trial Court Administrator, Citrus County Courthouse, 110 North Apopka Avenue, Inverness, Florida 34450, Telephone (352) 341-6700, at least 7 days before your scheduled court appearance, or immediately upon receiving this notification if the time before the scheduled appearance is less than 7 days; if your are hearing or voice impaired, call 711.” *NOT-EXEMPT* |
