| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: CIANCIA, TERRY 0575 (AR09107966) UNLAWFULLY RESIST, OBSTRUCT OR OPPOSE DEPUTY CIANCIA OF THE CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE, WHO WAS THEN AND THERE IN THE LAWFUL EXECUTION OF A LEGAL DUTY, OR EXECUTION OF LEGAL PROCESS, TO WIT: INVESTIGATING A TRAFFIC CRASH, WITHOUT OFFERING OR DOING VIOLENCE TO THE PERSON OF SUCH OFFICER, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 843.02. ON 030509 AT 0106 HOURS, MYSELF AND DEPUTY SEFFERN WERE DISPATCHED TO CASTAWAY'S BAR LOCATED AT 4530 NORTH US HIGHWAY 19 IN CRYSTAL RIVER IN REFERENCE TO AN ACCIDENT THAT HAD JUST OCCURRED. UPON ARRIVAL, I MET WITH THE OPERATOR OF A MOTORCYCLE THAT HAD BEEN STRUCK BY A VEHICLE THAT SUBSEQUENTLY FLED THE SCENE. I WAS ADVISED BY THE OPERATOR OF THE MOTORCYCLE THAT THE DEFENDANT WAS ON THE BACK OF HIS MOTORCYCLE AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH. THE OPERATOR OF THE MOTORCYCLE ADVISED THAT THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE THAT STRUCK HIM WAS THE COUSIN OF THE DEFENDANT WHO WAS ON THE BACK SEAT OF HIS MOTORCYCLE. I ASKED THE OPERATOR OF THE MOTORCYCLE FOR HIS DRIVER LICENSE AND THE VEHICLE REGISTRATION, TO WHICH HE COMPLIED. I ASKED THE PASSENGER/DEFENDANT, IF SHE HAD IDENTIFICATION ON HER, TO WHICH SHE REPLIED SHE DID NOT have ANY. I ASKED HER FOR HER NAME AND SHE GAVE ME THE NAME MARIA RODRIGUEZ. I ASKED HER FOR HER ADDRESS AND SHE ADVISED SHE LIVED IN OCALA. SHE SUPPLIED NO PHYSICAL ADDRESS. I ASKED HER WHERE SHE HAD COME FROM TONIGHT SINCE SHE WAS NOT A RESIDENT OF THIS COUNTY, TO WHICH SHE ADVISED THE DAYS INN IN CRYSTAL RIVER. I ASKED HER WHAT ROOM SHE WAS STAYING IN AND SHE ADVISED SHE DID NOT KNOW. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT FOR THE NAME OF HER COUSIN, WHO HAD BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND FLED THE SCENE, TO WHICH SHE AGAIN ADVISED SHE DID NOT KNOW HER COUSIN'S NAME. DEPUTY SEFFERN ENTERED THE BAR AND ASKED TO SEE THE RECEIPT FOR THE BAR TAB WHICH WAS PAID BY THE DEFENDANT, ACCORDING TO THE OPERATOR OF THE MOTORCYCLE. DEPUTY SEFFERN RETURNED FROM THE BAR AND ADVISED THE DEFENDANT'S TAB WAS PAID BY THE DEFENDANT USING A CREDIT CARD WITH THE NAME OF ANNA. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HER NAME WAS ANNA, TO WHICH SHE REPLIED YES, IT WAS. I ASKED HER FOR HER LAST NAME AND SHE ADVISED RODRIGUEZ. THE DEFENDANT WAS GIVEN SEVERAL CHANCES TO SUPPLY HER FULL NAME AS IT APPEARED ON HER DRIVER LICENSE, HER FULL ADDRESS AND HER DATE OF BIRTH. THE DEFENDANT DID SUPPLY A DATE OF BIRTH OF 100664. AS I DIRECTED MY ATTENTION TOWARD THE OPERATOR OF THE MOTORCYCLE, THE DEFENDANT WALKED AWAY AND RE-ENTERED THE BAR. I FOLLOWED THE DEFENDANT INTO THE BAR AND RETRIEVED HER, BRINGING HER BACK TO MY PATROL VEHICLE. I WAS UNABLE TO VERIFY ANY OF THE INFORMATION THE DEFENDANT HAD GIVEN ME IN REGARD TO HER NAME AND DATE OF BIRTH. AT THAT POINT, I PLACED THE DEFENDANT UNDER ARREST FOR OBSTRUCTING MY INVESTIGATION OF A TRAFFIC CRASH. WHILE PATTING THE DEFENDANT DOWN FOR WEAPONS, BEFORE SECURING HER IN MY PATROL VEHICLE, I LOCATED A CREDIT CARD IN THE RIGHT REAR POCKET OF HER PANTS. IMPRINTED ON THE CREDIT CARD WAS THE NAME ANNA MATHENA. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF THIS WAS HER CREDIT CARD BEARING HER NAME AND SHE ADVISED YES. THE DEFENDANT WAS HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HER BACK, SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. UPON ARRIVAL, SHE WAS CHARGED WITH ONE COUNT OF RESISTING/OBSTRUCTING ARREST BY PROVIDING FALSE INFORMATION TO A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER. HER BOND WAS SET AT $500.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
