| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: AGUILERA, EMANUEL 1238 (AR15-16471) DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HER 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: TWO BROKEN GLASS PIPES WITH METHAMPHETAMINE RESIDUE, ONE GLASS PIPE WITH METHAMPHETAMINE RESIDUE, A CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE WITH METHAMPHETAMINE RESIDUE, AND A BLACK DIGITAL SCALE WITH METHAMPHETAMINE RESIDUE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.147(1). ON 091715, AT APPROXIMATELY 2303 HOURS, I WAS TRAVELING NORTHBOUND ON HIGHWAY 19 IN THE AREA OF KINGS BAY BOULEVARD, WHEN I OBSERVED A RED IN COLOR PICKUP TRUCK, BEARING FLORIDA LICENSE PLATE 230TZP, TRAVELING DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME. AS WE CONTINUED TO TRAVEL NORTHBOUND I PACED THE VEHICLE TO BE TRAVELING 51 MILES PER HOUR IN A POSTED 40 MILE PER HOUR SPEED ZONE. AT THAT TIME, I ACTIVATED MY OVERHEAD EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT AND CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP IN THE AREA JUST NORTH OF CODYâS ROADHOUSE, IN CRYSTAL RIVER. UPON MAKING CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER, LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT, MR ANDREW RUTHERFORD, I ADVISED HIM FOR THE REASON OF THE TRAFFIC STOP, TO WHICH HE AGREED. I ASKED HIM FOR HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE, VEHICLE REGISTRATION, AND PROOF OF INSURANCE, TO WHICH HE PROVIDED ME. WHILE SPEAKING WITH DEFENDANT RUTHERFORD I OBSERVED THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER, MS TIFFANY SCHULTZ, AND THE REAR SEAT PASSENGER, LATER IDENTIFIED AS DEFENDANT, MS CHARLENE ROSS. AS I SPOKE TO DEFENDANT RUTHERFORD, I OBSERVED HIM TO BE NERVOUS AND STUMBLING ON HIS WORDS AS HE SPOKE TO ME. I ASKED HIM IF THERE WAS ANYTHING ILLEGAL IN THE VEHICLE, TO WHICH HE STATED NO AND GAVE CONSENT FOR A SEARCH OF HIS VEHICLE. K-9 DEPUTY LABORDA THEN ARRIVED ON SCENE. I THEN ASKED THE OCCUPANTS TO STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE, ONE AT A TIME, WHERE I STOOD AT THE FRONT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE WITH ALL THREE OCCUPANTS. AT THAT TIME, K-9 DEPUTY LABORDA CONDUCTED A HAND SEARCH OF THE VEHICLE. K-9 DEPUTY LABORDA ADVISED ME THAT HE LOCATED ONE SUBOXONE STRIP, WHICH WAS IMPRINTED WITH N8, IN A CLEAR PLASTIC CONTAINER IN THE CENTER CONSOLE OF THE VEHICLE. K-9 DEPUTY LABORDA ALSO LOCATED A CLEAR GLASS PIPE WITH METHAMPHETAMINE RESIDUE ON THE FLOOR BOARD SITTING NEXT TO DEFENDANT ROSSâ PURSE. INSIDE OF DEFENDANT ROSSâ PURSE K-9 DEPUTY LABORDA LOCATED TWO BROKEN GLASS PIPES WITH METHAMPHETAMINE RESIDUE, A CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE WITH METHAMPHETAMINE RESIDUE, AND ONE BLACK DIGITAL SCALE WITH METHAMPHETAMINE RESIDUE. CONTACT WAS THEN MADE WITH DEFENDANT ROSS, WHERE I CONFRONTED HER ABOUT THE METHAMPHETAMINE PIPES, THE CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE, AND THE DIGITAL SCALE THAT K-9 DEPUTY LABORDA HAD LOCATED. I READ DEFENDANT ROSS HER MIRANDA RIGHTS, VIA AN AGENCY ISSUED PREPRINTED MIRANDA CARD, TO WHICH SHE AGREED TO SPEAK TO ME. DEFENDANT ROSS ADVISED THAT THE GLASS METHAMPHETAMINE PIPE THAT WAS ON THE FLOORBOARD BY HER PURSE WAS NOT HERS. SHE ALSO ADVISED THAT THE TWO GLASS PIPES WITH METHAMPHETAMINE RESIDUE, THE CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE WITH METHAMPHETAMINE RESIDUE, AND THE SCALE WITH METHAMPHETAMINE RESIDUE, WHICH WERE LOCATED IN HER PURSE, DID NOT BELONG TO HER. I ASKED DEFENDANT ROSS WHY THE ITEMS WOULD BE IN HER PURSE IF THEY DID NOT BELONG TO HER, TO WHICH SHE ADVISED THAT SHE HAD JUST GOTTEN THE PURSE FROM A FRIEND. K-9 DEPUTY LABORDA FIELD TESTED THE GLASS PIPES, THE CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE, AND THE DIGITAL SCALE, WHICH ALL YIELDED A POSITIVE REACTION FOR THE PRESENCE OF METHAMPHETAMINE. I ADVISED DEFENDANT ROSS THAT SHE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR POSSESSION OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA. DEFENDANT ROSS WAS THEN HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HER BACK, SEARCHED, SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE, AND TRANSPORTED TO CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. DEFENDANT ROSSâ BOND WAS SET AT $1,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. K-9 DEPUTY LABORDA COLLECTED THE CONTRABAND TO SUBMIT TO EVIDENCE; SEE K-9 DEPUTY LABORDAâS SUPPLEMENT FOR FURTHER. |
