| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: WHIRLE, BRETT 1305 (AR16-20637)(16-113768) DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HER ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: TWO PILLS, ACETAMINOPHEN AND HYDROCODONE BITARTRATE, IN HER IMMEDIATE AREA INSIDE OF A VEHICLE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.13(6)(A). ON 081916, AT APPROXIMATELY 1829 HOURS, I WAS DISPATCHED TO THE AREA OF HOMOSASSA MARINE AND SOUTH SUNCOAST BOULEVARD IN REFERENCE TO A POSSIBLE DRUNK DRIVER. AS I WAS EN ROUTE, DISPATCH NOTIFIED ME THAT THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION HAD PULLED INTO THE THREE RIVERS MOTEL IN HOMOSASSA. AFTER ARRIVING ON SCENE I LOCATED THE VEHICLE BEARING FLORIDA LICENSE PLATE GAHX59, A SILVER IN COLOR CHEVROLET SPORTS UTILITY VEHICLE. AS I APPROACHED THE VEHICLE TO SEE IF THE DRIVER WAS STILL INSIDE I OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT STANDING OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE TOWARDS THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE. I ASKED HER IF SHE HAD BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND SHE STATED YES AND THAT IT WAS HER VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT APPEARED TO BE SLIGHTLY STUMBLING AND SLURRING HER SPEECH. I ASKED HER IF SHE HAD HAD ANY ALCOHOL TO DRINK AND SHE ADVISED SHE DID HAVE APPROXIMATELY FOUR BEERS AND SHE WAS JUST DRIVING SOUTHBOUND ON SOUTH SUNCOAST BOULEVARD. I ASKED HER IF SHE BELIEVED THAT SHE WAS OVER THE LEGAL LIMIT TO DRIVE AND SHE STATED SHE DID NOT KNOW BUT SHE POSSIBLY WAS. AT THAT TIME DEPUTY HORTON (0614) ARRIVED ON SCENE AS BACKUP. AS I WAS RESEARCHING THE DEFENDANT'S INFORMATION ON MY COMPUTER DEPUTY HORTON WATCHED THE DEFENDANT AND TRIED TO GAIN MORE INFORMATION ON WHERE SHE WAS COMING FROM. AFTER RUNNING THE DEFENDANT'S INFORMATION AND CONFIRMING THAT SHE HAD A VALID DRIVER'S LICENSE I HANDED THE DEFENDANT'S DRIVER'S LICENSE BACK TO HER AND ADVISED HER IF SHE WAS GOING TO LEAVE SHE WOULD NEED TO FIND SOMEONE TO DRIVE HER THAT WAS SOBER OR HAVE SOMEONE COME PICK HER UP. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED SHE HAD A FRIEND STAYING AT THE MOTEL THAT SHE WOULD HAVE DRIVE HER. DEPUTY HORTON ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF SHE MINDED IF WE SEARCHED HER VEHICLE AND IF SHE WOULD GIVE CONSENT TO SEARCH HER VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT STATED SHE DID NOT MIND AND WE COULD SEARCH HER VEHICLE. AS DEPUTY HORTON SEARCHED THE VEHICLE WHILE I TALKED WITH THE DEFENDANT AND ASKED TWO MORE TIMES IF SHE WAS FINE WITH US SEARCHING HER VEHICLE AND IF SHE MINDED. THE DEFENDANT STATED TWO MORE TIMES; NO I DO NOT MIND YOU CAN SEARCH MY WHOLE VEHICLE. UPON DEPUTY HORTON SEARCHING THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE HE OBSERVED TWO OVAL SHAPED, YELLOW IN COLOR PILLS SITTING INSIDE OF A KLEENEX BOX THAT WAS SITTING ON THE FLOORBOARD IN BETWEEN THE DRIVER SEAT AND THE PASSENGER SEAT. DEPUTY HORTON NOTIFIED ME WHAT HE HAD FOUND, AT WHICH POINT I ASKED THE DEFENDANT WHAT KIND OF PILLS THEY WERE AND WHERE SHE GOT THEM FROM. SHE ADVISED ME THEY WERE LORTAB PILLS AND THEY WERE NOT HERS. THE DEFENDANT WAS HESITANT AT FIRST, BUT EVENTUALLY STATED SHE HAD GOTTEN THE PILLS FROM HER SON'S FATHER, MR FERNANDO NORIEGA. SEE DEPUTY HORTON'S SUPPLEMENT FOR FURTHER. I IDENTIFIED BOTH PILLS BY USING DRUGS.COM PILL IDENTIFIER WHICH ADVISED THE PILLS WERE A SCHEDULE TWO CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE. I ASKED HER IF SHE HAD STOLEN THE PILLS FROM HIM AT WHICH POINT SHE STATED NO, I DID NOT STEAL THE PILLS, BUT SHE HAD TAKEN THE PILLS SO THAT SHE AND HER FRIEND THAT WAS STAYING AT THE MOTEL COULD TAKE THEM. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED ME SHE HAD NEVER HAD A PRESCRIPTION FOR THE PILLS. BASED ON THE DEFENDANT'S STATEMENTS AND FINDING THE PILLS IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA OF WHERE THE DEFENDANT WAS SITTING WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE SHE WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND THE BACK, PLACED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND SEAT BELTED IN AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY WHERE SHE WAS CHARGED WITH ONE COUNT OF POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE. UPON ARRIVING AT THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY, AS I GOT THE DEFENDANT OUT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE SHE PROCEEDED TO PULL AWAY FROM ME AND STATED "LET GO OF ME, I DONâT KNOW WHY YOU'RE ONLY CHARGING ME FOR TWO PILLS I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG. I WAS IN THE MILITARY AND I COULD KICK YOUR ASS." AFTER THIS THE HANDCUFFS WERE TAKEN OFF AND SHE WAS TURNED OVER TO JAIL STAFF. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $2,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE PILLS WERE TURNED IN TO EVIDENCE. I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE CONTACT WITH MR NORIEGA VIA CELLULAR TELEPHONE BUT WAS MET WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. |
