UPON ARRIVAL, K-9 DEPUTY WILLIAMS ADVISED ME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED DUE TO AN EXPIRED LICENSE PLATE ON 021416. WE THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT, MS ANGELIQUE FITZPATRICK, WHO WAS THE ONLY OCCUPANT WITHIN THE VEHICLE, IF SHE WOULD GIVE CONSENT TO A SEARCH OF HER VEHICLE FOR ANYTHING ILLEGAL INSIDE HER VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT GAVE CONSENT TO A SEARCH OF HER VEHICLE AND HER BELONGINGS. WHILE CONDUCTING A SEARCH OF THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE, DRUG PARAPHERNALIA WAS FOUND IN THE DEFENDANT'S PURSE AND INSIDE THE CENTER CONSOLE OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT WAS ASKED IF THE BLACK IN COLOR PURSE ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE SEAT WAS HERS, TO WHICH SHE STATED YES THE BLACK IN COLOR PURSE WAS HERS. A GLASS PIPE WAS FOUND IN THE CENTER CONSOLE OF THE VEHICLE NEXT TO THE DEFENDANT AND TWO RED IN COLOR CUT UP STRAWS WERE FOUND IN THE DEFENDANT'S PURSE. INSIDE THE GLASS PIPE AND THE TWO CUT UP STRAWS WAS WHITE IN COLOR RESIDUE, WHICH WAS TESTED AND CAME BACK POSITIVE FOR METHAMPHETAMINE. I EXPLAINED TO THE DEFENDANT THAT SHE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR POSSESSION OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA AND THAT EACH OF THE ITEMS WERE TESTED AND CAME BACK POSITIVE FOR METHAMPHETAMINE. AT THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HER BACK, SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE, AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. THE DEFENDANT WAS ISSUED WRITTEN WARNING, WARNING NUMBER 404775B, IN REFERENCE TO HER LICENSE PLATE BEING EXPIRED ON 021416. THE DRUG PARAPHERNALIA WAS TURNED IN TO EVIDENCE BY K-9 DEPUTY WILLIAMS. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $1,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
