DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HIS ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: 2.2 GRAMS OF METHAMPHETAMINE IN A CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.13(6)(A). 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 A BOWL ON THE END, WHICH CONTAINED WHITE RESIDUE IN THE BOWL, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.147(1). DID OPERATE A MOTOR VEHICLE ON THE ROADWAYS OR HIGHWAYS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA WITH WILLFUL AND WANTON DISREGARD FOR THE SAFETY OF PERSONS OR PROPERTY; TO WIT: THE DEFENDANT WAS TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON HIGHWAY 486 DRIVING 102 MILES PER HOUR IN A POSTED 45 MILE PER HOUR ZONE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUE 316.192(1)(A). DID, KNOWING HIS DRIVERâS LICENSE OR DRIVING PRIVILEGE HAD BEEN CANCELLED, SUSPENDED OR REVOKED, DRIVE A MOTOR VEHICLE UPON THE HIGHWAYS OF THIS STATE WHILE SUCH LICENSE OR PRIVILEGE WAS CANCELLED, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 322.34(2). ON 101316, I WAS CONDUCTING TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT IN THE MEDIAN OF EAST NORVELL BRYANT HIGHWAY AND NORTH FOREST RIDGE BOULEVARD WITH THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE FACING IN AN EASTERN DIRECTION, WHEN I OBSERVED A VEHICLE APPROACHING MY LOCATION AT AN EXTREMELY HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING IN A WESTERN DIRECTION ON EAST NORVELL BRYANT HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE THAT I WAS OBSERVING WAS THE ONLY VEHICLE IN THE WESTBOUND LANE AND THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IN THE EASTBOUND LANE. I ACTIVATED MY FRONT RADAR ANTENNA AND OBTAINED A CLEAR AUDIO DOPPLER READING OF 102 MILES PER HOUR IN A POSTED 45 MILE PER HOUR ZONE. DEPUTY QUINN (1241) WAS ALSO PRESENT; SEE DEPUTY QUINNâS SUPPLEMENT FOR FURTHER. I BEGAN TRAVELING WESTBOUND BEHIND THE VEHICLE, WHICH CONTINUED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. AT THAT TIME, I ADVISED DISPATCH THAT THERE WAS A VEHICLE TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON EAST NORVELL BRYANT HIGHWAY AT AN EXTREMELY HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I NEVER LOST SIGHT OF THE VEHICLE AND I CONTINUED TO TRAVEL WESTBOUND ON NORVELL BRYANT HIGHWAY. WHILE GOING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION OF NORTH LECANTO HIGHWAY AND NORVELL BRYANT HIGHWAY, I OBSERVED THE VEHICLE COME TO A STOP AT WEST NORVELL BRYANT HIGHWAY AND WEST PARKVILLE STREET. AT THAT TIME, I HAD ALL OF MY EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT ACTIVATED IN MY MARKED PATROL VEHICLE, WHICH HAS PERMANENTLY AFFIXED REFLECTIVE DECALS. I THEN CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP ON THE WHITE IN COLOR DODGE PICKUP TRUCK, BEARING FLORIDA LICENSE PLATE JAXTRK. WHILE EXITING MY PATROL VEHICLE, THE DRIVER HAD BOTH OF HIS HANDS OUTSIDE OF THE DRIVER WINDOW. I ORDERED THE DRIVER TO STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE. AS THE DRIVER EXITED THE VEHICLE, HE SPONTANEOUSLY UTTERED THAT HE WAS HIGH ON METHAMPHETAMINE. AT THAT TIME, I WAS ADVISED BY DISPATCH THAT THE LICENSE PLATE AND VEHICLE WERE LISTED AS STOLEN FROM LAKE COUNTY FLORIDA. I HAD TELETYPE CONFIRM WITH LAKE COUNTY. I THEN IDENTIFIED THE DRIVER AS THE DEFENDANT, MR AUSTIN HAYES. I WAS THEN ADVISED BY TELETYPE THAT THE DEFENDANTâS DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS NOT VALID. THE DEFENDANT WAS DETAINED AT THAT TIME, HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK AND PLACED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT WAS READ HIS MIRANDA RIGHTS, VIA AN AGENCY ISSUED PREPRINTED MIRANDA CARD, TO WHICH HE AGREED TO SPEAK WITH ME. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE KNEW HE WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE ROADWAY AT AN EXTREMELY HIGH RATE OF SPEED IN A STOLEN VEHICLE, TO WHICH HE STATED YES, BUT WOULD NOT ELABORATE ANY FURTHER. TELETYPE CONFIRMED WITH LAKE COUNTY SHERIFFâS OFFICE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS STOLEN OUT OF LAKE COUNTY (REFERENCE LAKE COUNTY CASE NUMBER 160148253). LAKE COUNTY SHERIFFâS OFFICE ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD REMOVE THE VEHICLE FROM FCIC/NCIC AS STOLEN AND ASKED THAT THE VEHICLE BE TOWED AND HELD UNTIL MORNING HOURS, WHEN THEY WOULD CONTACT THIS AGENCY FOR FURTHER INFORMATION. TELETYPE THEN CONTACTED THE ROTATION WRECKER TO RESPOND TO MY LOCATION. PRIOR TO IMPOUND, A HAND SEARCH WAS CONDUCTED ON THE VEHICLE. I WAS ADVISED BY K-9 DEPUTY WILLIAMS (0730) THAT HE LOCATED 2.2 GRAMS OF METHAMPHETAMINE IN A CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE, ALONG WITH A CLEAR GLASS PIPE WITH A BOWL ON THE END THAT CONTAINED WHITE RESIDUE IN THE BOWL, UNDERNEATH THE DRIVERâS SEAT OF THE VEHICLE. SEE DEPUTY WILLIAMSâ SUPPLEMENT FOR FURTHER. THE RESIDUE AND METHAMPHETAMINE WERE FIELD TESTED AND YIELDED A POSITIVE RESULT FOR METHAMPHETAMINE. A DRIVER HISTORY ON THE DEFENDANT WAS CONDUCTED THROUGH THE DRIVER AND VEHICLE INFORMATION DATABASE, WHICH REVEALED HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED ON 042516, WITH NOTICE PROVIDED ON 040416, FOR FAILURE TO PAY COURT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION. THE DEFENDANTâS DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED AGAIN ON 080116, WITH NOTICE PROVIDED ON 071116, ALSO FOR FAILURE TO PAY COURT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION. THE DEFENDANT WAS ADVISED THAT HE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR AUTO THEFT, POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, POSSESSION OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA, RECKLESS DRIVING, AND DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED OR REVOKED (KNOWINGLY). THE DEFENDANT WAS ISSUED UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION, CITATION NUMBER A1P1K9P, FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED KNOWINGLY. THE DEFENDANT WAS ALSO ISSUED UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION, CITATION NUMBER A1P1KAP, FOR RECKLESS DRIVING.
