THE PARK IS CLOSED AFTER DARK AND IT IS CLEARLY POSTED. I THEN ADVISED DISPATCH OF MY LOCATION AND GOT OUT TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE SUBJECT. UPON MAKING CONTACT WITH THE SUBJECT I REQUESTED SOME FORM OF IDENTIFICATION WHICH HE SUPPLIED ME WITH A FLORIDA IDENTIFICATION CARD BEARING THE NAME OF A BRIAN JOSEPH MEIER. I THEN ASKED MR MEIER AS TO WHAT THE REASON WAS FOR HIM BEING IN THE PARK, TO WHICH HE ADVISED HE WAS JUST PASSING THROUGH. DURING CONVERSATION I ASKED MR MEIER IF HE WOULD MIND EMPTYING OUT HIS POCKETS FOR ANY DRUGS OR WEAPONS, TO WHICH HE AGREED. MR MEIER THEN ADVISED THAT HE HAD A SMALL BAGGIE OF MARIJUANA ON HIS PERSON. I REQUESTED MR MEIER RETRIEVE THE MARIJUANA TO WHICH HE REACHED IN HIS RIGHT FRONT POCKET AND PULLED OUT A CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE CONTAINING A SMALL ABOUT OF GREEN AND BROWN LEAFY SUBSTANCE. THROUGH MY TRAINING EXPERIENCE I WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY THIS AS MARIJUANA. I THEN ASKED MR MEIER IF HE HAD ANY OTHER ILLEGAL OBJECTS OR SUBSTANCE ON HIS PERSON, TO WHICH HE ADVISED HE HAD A SMOKING PIPE IN HIS LEFT FRONT POCKET. I THEN RETRIEVED A SMALL BLACK AND SILVER SMOKING PIPE WITH BURNT MARIJUANA RESIDUE FROM MR MEIER'S FRONT LEFT PANT POCKET. A FURTHER SEARCH OF MR MEIER REVEALED NO FURTHER CONTRABAND. MR MEIER WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED, DOUBLE LOCKED, AND PLACED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. MR MEIER'S BELONGINGS WERE BROUGHT TO THE JAIL WITH HIM, EXCEPT FOR HIS BICYCLE WHICH WAS LEFT AT THE PARK PER MR MEIER'S REQUEST. THE MARIJUANA WEIGHED APPROXIMATELY 2.5 GRAMS IT WILL BE TURNED IN TO EVIDENCE ALONG WITH THE PIPE. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY WITH BOND SET AT $500.00 FOR POSSESSION OF MARIJUANA, AND $500.00 FOR POSSESSION OF PARAPHERNALIA. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
