| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: SEFFERN, JONATHAN JR 0623 (AR11120126) DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HIS ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: MARIJUANA IN the AMOUNT OF 24 GRAMS, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA'S STATE STATUTE 893.13(6)(A). ON 040511 AT APPROXIMATELY 2115 HOURS, WHILE CONDUCTING EXTRA TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT IN THE AREA OF HOMOSASSA, I OBSERVED A VEHICLE TRAVELING NORTHBOUND ON SOUTH SUNCOAST BOULEVARD WHICH HAD AN INOPERABLE TAG LIGHT. I THEN CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP ON THE ABOVE VEHICLE UTILIZING ALL OF MY EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT ON SOUTH SUNCOAST BOULEVARD IN FRONT OF VILLAGE CADILLAC TOYOTA. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER, MS DANIELLE TYRREL, and ADVISED HER THAT I HAD STOPPED HER FOR THE INOPERABLE TAG LIGHTS AND REQUESTED HER DRIVER'S LICENSE, VEHICLE REGISTRATION AND PROOF OF VEHICLE INSURANCE. WHILE REQUESTING THESE DOCUMENTS, I OBSERVED MR AQUILLIA WILSON, LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. I AM FAMILIAR WITH THE DEFENDANT AS HE HAS BEEN ARRESTED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS BY THIS AGENCY FOR NARCOTICS AND OTHER CHARGES AND IS ALSO WELL KNOWN FOR SELLING NARCOTICS IN THE CRYSTAL RIVER AREA. the DRIVER PROVIDED ME WITH ALL THE REQUESTED DOCUMENTS AND I RETURNED TO MY PATROL VEHICLE. DEPUTY RITLI THEN ARRIVED ON SCENE AND I REQUESTED THAT HE CONDUCT AN EXTERIOR WALK ON THE VEHICLE WITH K-9 AJAX. DEPUTY RITLI THEN DEPLOYED K-9 AJAX AND CONDUCTED AN EXTERIOR SNIFF OF the VEHICLE SUBSEQUENTLY RESULTING IN AN ALERT ON THE VEHICLE. I THEN REQUESTED BOTH THE DRIVER AND THE DEFENDANT TO EXIT THE VEHICLE and RETURN TO THE FRONT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. DEPUTY RITLI THEN CONDUCTED A SEARCH OF THE VEHICLE AND I CONDUCTED A SEARCH OF THE DRIVER AND DEFENDANT'S PERSONS. AS I ATTEMPTED TO SEARCH the DEFENDANT, HE HAD HIS INNER THIGHS and BUTTOCKS CLINCHED TOGETHER, WHICH GAVE ME SUSPICION THAT HE MAY HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO CONCEAL SOMETHING UNDER HIS GROIN. I THEN REQUESTED the DEFENDANT SPREAD HIS LEGS AND LOOSEN THE UPPER PORTION OF HIS INNER THIGHS AND BUTTOCKS AREA. AT this TIME I WAS ABLE TO FEEL WHAT APPEARED TO BE the KNOT OF A BAGGIE, WHICH WAS CONSISTENT WITH MY SUSPICIONS. I WAS THEN ABLE TO RETRIEVE TWO CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIES CONTAINING A GREEN LEAFY SUBSTANCE WHICH I WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY AS MARIJUANA THROUGH MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE. the NARCOTICS WERE LATER FIELD TESTED and YIELDED A POSITIVE RESULT FOR MARIJUANA. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED, (DOUBLE LOCKED), BEHIND THEIR BACK, SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DRIVER WAS ISSUED WARNING NUMBER 323639B FOR INOPERABLE TAG LIGHTS AND WAS RELEASED. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY, the MARIJUANA WAS REMOVED FROM the BAGGIES AND WEIGHED ON A CERTIFIED SCALE. ONE BAGGIE CONTAINED 19 GRAMS OF MARIJUANA THE OTHER BAGGIE CONTAINED 5 GRAMS OF MARIJUANA. the MARIJUANA TOTALED 24 GRAMS. A CRIMINAL HISTORY CHECK OF THE DEFENDANT WAS RUN, which REVELED THAT SINCE 01/2011, WHEN THE DEFENDANT WAS RELEASED FROM PRISON FOR ESCAPE FROM A DETENTION FACILITY, HE WAS ARRESTED ON 022311 AND CHARGED WITH FLEE AND ALLUDE POLICE, SYNTH NARCOTICS SALE, DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED AND DRUG EQUIP & POSSESS. ON 030311 the DEFENDANT WAS AGAIN ARRESTED AND CHARGED WITH COCAINE SALE, MARIJUANA SALE, AMPHETAMINE POSSESSION, DRUG-HEALTH OR SAFETY INTRODUCTION INTO A DETENTION FACILITY AND DRUG EQUIPMENT POSSESSION. ON 040511 the DEFENDANT WAS AGAIN ARRESTED AND CHARGED WITH POSSESSION OF MARIJUANA OVER 20 GRAMS. the DEFENDANT IS CURRENTLY OUT ON TWO BONDS FOR THE ABOVE LISTED CHARGES AND THE LIKELIHOOD THAT THE DEFENDANT WILL RE-OFFEND IF GIVEN A BOND IS apparent. SUBSEQUENTLY IT IS THE REQUEST THAT THE DEFENDANT'S BOND BE SET AT TO PREVENT ANY FURTHER CRIMINAL ACTS.
