| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: LYNN, KURT 0349 (AR08102107) ON 031008 AT APPROXIMATELY 0913 HOURS, THIS DEPUTY WAS TRAVELING ON COUNTY ROAD (CR) 581 WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS OF INVERNESS. I OBSERVED A RED FOUR-DOOR VEHICLE TRAVELING SOUTH ON CR 581. THERE WAS A GREY VEHICLE FOLLOWING THE RED VEHICLE APPROXIMATELY TWELVE TO FIFTEEN INCHES OFF THE RED VEHICLE'S REAR BUMPER. UPON THE DRIVER OF THE RED VEHICLE SEEING THIS DEPUTY, SHE MADE A MOTION WITH HER HAND, REFERRING TO THE GRAY VEHICLE BEHIND HER. UPON OBSERVING THE CLOSENESS OF THE GREY VEHICLE TO THE RED VEHICLE, I PERFORMED A TRAFFIC STOP ON THE GREY VEHICLE AT CR 581 APPROXIMATELY 200 FEET SOUTH OF DRUID ROAD. AT THAT TIME I ENCOUNTERED the DRIVER, MR CHARLES HALL, AND ASKED HIM IF THERE WAS ANY PRESENCE OF NARCOTICS IN THE VEHICLE DUE TO HIM APPEARING EXTREMELY NERVOUS AND HIS LEFT AND RIGHT HAND SHAKING CONTINUOUSLY. THE DRIVER STATED THERE NO DRUGS WERE PRESENT IN THE VEHICLE. I ASKED HIM IF, AFTER THE TRAFFIC STOP, HE WOULD CONSENT TO A SEARCH, TO HE STUTTERED AND ASKED THE PASSENGER IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WHETHER HE SHOULD CONSENT OR NOT. AT THAT TIME I ADVISED THEM TO STAY IN THE VEHICLE AND WE WOULD DISCUSS CONSENT LATER WHEN THEY WERE FREE TO GO. I ALSO OBTAINED THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE FRONT PASSENGER. UPON RETURNING TO MY VEHICLE, I ASKED FOR THE CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE K-9 UNIT TO RESPOND TO MY LOCATION. UPON K-9 DEPUTY DEARDON RESPONDING TO MY LOCATION, I EXPLAINED TO HIM THE SITUATION, TO WHICH HE APPROACHED THE DRIVER, IDENTIFYING HIMSELF AS A CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE K-9 DEPUTY. HE ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY ILLEGAL ITEMS (DRUGS) IN THE VEHICLE, TO WHICH THE DRIVER STATED HE DID HAVE MARIJUANA ON HIS PERSON. THE DRIVER WAS THEN ASKED TO STEP FROM THE VEHICLE AND IN FRONT OF THIS DEPUTY AND K-9 DEPUTY DEARDON, HE REMOVED A BAGGIE FROM THE FRONT CROTCH AREA OF his PANTS CONTAINING APPROXIMATELY TWO GRAMS OF MARIJUANA. DUE TO THE DEFENDANT NOT HAVING A VALID CITRUS COUNTY ADDRESS, PER SHERIFF'S OFFICE POLICY, HE WAS PLACED IN HAND RESTRAINTS (DOUBLE-LOCKED) AND PLACED IN THE REAR OF THIS DEPUTY'S PATROL VEHICLE, WHERE HE WAS INFORMED OF HIS ARREST FOR POSSESSION OF MARIJUANA UNDER 20 GRAMS. THE PASSENGER WAS THEN ASKED TO STEP FROM THE VEHICLE AND WAS ASKED BY THIS DEPUTY IF HE HAD ANY DRUGS ON HIS PERSON, TO WHICH HE STATED THAT HE HAD DRUGS AND PARAPHERNALIA ON HIS PERSON. THE PASSENGER WAS CHARGED SEPARATELY FROM THE DRIVER. THE DRIVER WAS READ HIS MIRANDA WARNING FROM PRE-PRINTED CARD AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY, WHERE HIS BOND WAS SET PER SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
