| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: CARRERAS, JOSE 0481 (AR10118287) DID UNLAWFULLY DELIVER A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO-WIT: DIAZEPAM, WITH THE INTENT TO DELIVER THE SAID SUBSTANCE TO ANOTHER PERSON, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA'S STATUTE 893.13(1)(A)(2). ON 120810 AT APPROXIMATELY 1938 HOURS, I ASSISTED DEPUTY CRUZ WITH A TRAFFIC STOP CONDUCTED IN THE DRIVEWAY OF 1794 WEST GARDENIA DRIVE IN DUNNELLON. DURING THE STOP, I OBSERVED A FEMALE AND A MALE EXIT THE RESIDENCE WALKING TOWARDS OUR LOCATION. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH BOTH SUBJECTS LATER IDENTIFIED AS MS BRANDY WISE AND MR KEVIN RAMSEY. UPON SPEAKING WITH MR RAMSEY, HE ASKED ME WHAT WAS GOING ON AND ADVISED HE DID KNOW THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE WE HAD STOPPED IN HIS DRIVEWAY. DURING A SHORT CONVERSATION, I ASKED MR RAMSEY IF HE HAD ANY WEAPONS ON HIS PERSON, TO which HE ADVISED NO. I THEN ASKED MR RAMSEY IF HE HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH ME PATTING HIM DOWN TO VERIFY NO WEAPONS ARE IN HIS POSSESSION, TO WHICH HE ADVISED THAT HE HAND NO PROBLEM WITH THAT. WHILE PATTING MR RAMSEY DOWN, I LOCATED TWO WHITE PILL BOTTLES OF DIAZEPAM IN HIS FRONT RIGHT PANT POCKET. MR RAMSEY ADVISED ME THAT BOTH PILL BOTTLES BELONGED TO HIS GIRLFRIEND, MS WISE, AND HE WAS JUST HOLDING THEM FOR HER. I THEN SPOKE WITH MS WISE AND SHE CONFIRMED WITH ME THAT BOTH PILL BOTTLES OF DIAZEPAM BELONGED TO HER AND SHE HAD GIVEN THEM TO HER BOYFRIEND, MR RAMSEY, TO HOLD ON TO. UPON INSPECTING BOTH PILL BOTTLES, NEITHER ONE HAD A PRESCRIPTION LABEL NOR WERE UNSEALED ON THE INSIDE. UPON QUESTIONING MS WISE OF HOW THESE PILL BOTTLES WERE OBTAINED, SHE ADVISED ME THAT SHE RECEIVED THEM FROM THE PHARMACIST SHE WORKS WITH AT GROVELAND PHARMACY. SHE ADVISED ME THE PILL BOTTLES DID NOT HAVE A PRESCRIPTION LABEL ON THEM BECAUSE THEY WERE GIVEN TO her BY THE PHARMACIST AND NOT RECORDED. MS WISE ADVISED THE PHARMACIST DID THIS TO HELP HER OUT WITH SOME PERSONAL ISSUES SHE CURRENTLY HAS. UPON ASKING MS WISE WHETHER OR NOT THE PHARMACIST WOULD ADMIT TO GIVING THE PILL BOTTLES TO HER WITHOUT A PRESCRIPTION, SHE ADVISED SHE WAS SURE THE PHARMACIST WOULD NOT DENY IT. MS WISE ADVISED SHE HAS A GOOD WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PHARMACIST AND HE GOES BY the INITIALS D.P.. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH the PHARMACIST, LATER IDENTIFIED AS MR DUSHYENT PATEL, AND CONFIRMED THAT MS WISE IS AN EMPLOYEE OF HIS. UPON QUESTIONING the DISTRIBUTION OF THE MEDICATION DIAZEPAM WITHOUT A PRESCRIPTION TO MS WISE, MR PATEL ADVISED ME THAT HE WAS NOT AWARE OF MS WISE POSSESSING DIAZEPAM, NOR DID HE DISTRIBUTE THE PILLS TO HER WITHOUT A PRESCRIPTION. HE ADVISED UPON LOOKING THROUGH HIS SYSTEM, HE HAD NO RECORD OF THESE PILLS BEING DISTRIBUTED TO MS WISE. I MADE CONTACT WITH MS WISE AGAIN AND ADVISED HER OF MY FINDINGS. MS WISE CONTINUED TO ADVISE THAT SHE RECEIVED THE PILLS FROM THE PHARMACIST WITHOUT A PRESCRIPTION. I THEN ADVISED THE DEFENDANT, MS WISE, THAT SHE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR DELIVER OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE TO HER BOYFRIEND, HANDCUFFED, BEHIND HER BACK, (DOUBLE LOCKED), SECURED IN THE FRONT OF DEPUTY CRUZ'S UNMARKED VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $5,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE.
