| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: TAYLOR, TROY 0700 (AR11122851) DID, KNOWING HER DRIVER'S 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 092211 WHILE TRAVELLING SOUTHBOUND ON SOUTH MICHIGAN AVENUE, I OBSERVED A TAN BUICK SUV OPERATED BY THE DEFENDANT, WHO I PERSONALLY KNEW OF HAVING A REVOKED DRIVER'S LICENSE. AS I APPROACHED THIS VEHICLE, WHICH WAS TRAVELLING NORTHBOUND ON SOUTH MICHIGAN, IT SUDDENLY TURNED LEFT TO TRAVEL WEST ON WEST IVY PLACE AND APPEARED TO BE ATTEMPTING TO AVOID ME. I THEN ACCELERATED IN AN ATTEMPT TO CATCH UP WITH THE VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO PULL BEHIND THE VEHICLE AS IT WAS TRAVELLING NORTHBOUND ON SOUTH CANADIAN WAY. I THEN ACTIVATED THE EMERGENCY ROOF LIGHTS OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN FRONT OF COLONEL FROG'S TAVERN LOCATED AT 3171 SOUTH CANADIAN WAY AT THE INTERSECTION OF SOUTH STONEBROOK. I THEN APPROACHED THE DRIVER AND ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF SHE HAD A CURRENT VALID DRIVER'S LICENSE. SHE STATED THAT SHE DID NOT; HOWEVER, SHE HAD TO DRIVE BECAUSE HER KIDS HAD TO GET TO SCHOOL. DUE TO PRIOR INFORMATION THAT I HAD RECEIVED THAT THE DEFENDANT WAS DRIVING EVERYDAY TO TAKE HER KIDS TO DAYCARE AND HER RESIDENCE, I INFORMED THE DEFENDANT THAT SHE WAS GOING TO BE PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR KNOWINGLY DRIVING WITH HER LICENSE REVOKED. THE DEFENDANT, MS BRANDI PARKHURST, WAS PLACED IN CUFFS (DOUBLE LOCKED) AND PLACED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. DEPUTY LAURA NEWTON RESPONDED TO ASSIST AND SHE REMAINED AT THE SCENE TO TOW THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE, WHICH WAS CONDUCTED BY DAVE'S AUTO BODY. I CONVEYED THE DEFENDANT TO THE COUNTY DETENTION CENTER FOR PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $500.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. "If you are a person with a disability who needs any accommodation in order to participate in this proceeding, you are entitled, at no cost to you, to the provision of certain assistance.
