DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HIS ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION WITH THE INTENT TO USE, OR DID UNLAWFULLY USE, AN OBJECT INTENDED OR DESIGNED FOR USE IN STORING, CONCEALING OR INJECTING, INGESTING, INHALING OR OTHERWISE INTRODUCING INTO THE HUMAN BODY, A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: A CLEAR GLASS PIPE WITH BLUE, WHITE, BLACK DECORATIVE SWIRLS, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTES 893.145 AND 893.147(1)(B) ON 110309 AT APPROXIMATELY 2235 HOURS, I CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP ON A SILVER, CHEVY, FOUR DOOR VEHICLE BEARING FLORIDA TAG 857KSP. THE DRIVER WAS SUCCESSFULLY IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT IN HAVING A CURRENTLY SUSPENDED DRIVER'S LICENSE PER D.A.V.I.D. AFTER INITIATING MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE STOPPED IN THE AREA OF C39 AND GREY EAGLE TERRACE. UPON MAKING CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT HE PROVIDED HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE WHICH IDENTIFIED HIM AS MR AARON WILLIAMS. THE DEFENDANT ALSO PROVIDED HIS PROOF OF INSURANCE AND REGISTRATION, AT WHICH TIME I ADVISED HIM ON MY REASONING FOR THE STOP. I THEN SPOKE WITH THE DEFENDANT AND ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY ILLEGAL ITEMS IN THE VEHICLE TO WHICH HE REPLIED NO. I THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT FOR CONSENT TO SEARCH HIS VEHICLE, HOWEVER THE DEFENDANT DECLINED. I THEN REQUESTED A K9 TO RESPOND TO MY TRAFFIC STOP. SHORTLY AFTER K9 HANDLER DEARDEN ARRIVED AND SPOKE WITH THE DEFENDANT, AND DEPLOYED HIS NARCOTIC K9. I WAS THEN ADVISED BY K9 HANDLER DEARDEN THAT HIS K9 HAD ALERTED TO THE VEHICLE. AT WHICH TIME I HAD THE DEFENDANT EXIT HIS VEHICLE. I STOOD BY AND OBSERVED WHILE K9 HANDLER DEARDEN SEARCHED THE DEFENDANT WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. I THEN STOOD BY WITH THE DEFENDANT WHILE K9 HANDLER DEARDEN SEARCHED THE VEHICLE. SHORTLY AFTER DEPUTY DEARDEN ADVISED THAT HE LOCATED TWO PRESCRIPTION BOTTLES, BY A SUBWAY BAG IN THE FRONT SEAT OF THE VEHICLE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION OF THE PRESCRIPTION BOTTLES I OBSERVED THAT ONE OF THEM WAS EMPTY, AND THE OTHER CONTAINED A SMALL BAGGIE OF A GREEN LEAFY SUBSTANCE, AND A CLEAR GLASS PIPE CONTAINING BLUE, WHITE, BLACK DECORATIVE MARKING. AT THAT TIME THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE-LOCKED), AND SEATED NEAR THE FRONT SEAT OF MY MARKED PATROL VEHICLE. DEPUTY DEARDEN THEN ADVISED THAT HE ALSO LOCATED A LEATHER CELLULAR TELEPHONE HOLDER CONTAINING A FOLDED BAG WITH A GREEN LEAFY SUBSTANCE HANGING UP WHERE THE REAR VIEW MIRROR SHOULD BE HANGING. WHILE STANDING NEAR THE DEFENDANT HE STATED TO ME SPONTANEOUSLY THAT THE PASSENGER HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT WAS IN THE VEHICLE AND THAT EVERYTHING IN THE VEHICLE BELONGED TO HIM. PER THE DEFENDANT THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OVER TO THE PASSENGER WHILE ON SCENE. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY, WHERE HE WAS REMANDED TO THEIR CUSTODY IN LIEU OF $1000.00 BOND. WHILE AT THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY THE CONTRABAND WAS WEIGHED WHICH PRODUCED A TOTAL OF 11.2 GRAMS, THIS WEIGHT DID NOT INCLUDE THE WEIGHT OF THE GLASS PIPE. ALL CONTRABAND LOCATED WAS PROPERLY PACKAGED AND TURNED INTO EVIDENCE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
