| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: HOLTZHOUSE, JONATHAN 0616 (AR12-3486) (CASE: 303676) (0133) DID HAVE IN HIS POSSESSION CANNABIS UNDER 20 GRAMS, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE, 893.13(6)(B). DID LEAVE SCENE OF AN ACCIDENT/FAIL TO REMAIN AT SCENE OF CRASH WITH PROPERTY DAMAGE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE, 316.061(1). DID UNLAWFULLY RESIST, OBSTRUCT OR OPPOSE MARION COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE DETECTIVE MICAH MOORE, WHO WAS THEN AND THERE IN THE LAWFUL EXECUTION OF A LEGAL DUTY, OR EXECUTION OF LEGAL PROCESS, TO WIT: DID NOT STOP WHEN ORDERED, WITHOUT OFFERING OR DOING VIOLENCE TO THE PERSON OF SUCH OFFICER, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 843.02. ON 111412 AT APPROXIMATELY 1300 HOURS I RESPONDED TO 2919 SOUTH WOODBINE AVENUE IN HOMOSASSA, IN REFERENCE TO A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. UPON ARRIVAL I MADE CONTACT WITH CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFFâS OFFICE DETECTIVES DAVID GATER, MARION COUNTY DETECTIVE MICAH MOORE, AND MARION COUNTY SHERIFFâS OFFICE DETECTIVE T WATTS. DETECTIVE MOORE ADVISED THAT THE MARION COUNTY SHERIFFâS OFFICE, ALONG WITH THE CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE, WERE CONDUCTING AN ARREST WARRANT AT THE ABOVE ADDRESS ON ANOTHER SUBJECT. DETECTIVE MOORE ADVISED THAT HE PULLED IN TO THE DRIVEWAY AND OBSERVED A SILVER PONTIAC PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH THE DEFENDANT, MR. CHARLES WEATHERLY, IN THE DRIVERâS SEAT. DETECTIVE MOORE THEN EXITED HIS VEHICLE AND ANNOUNCED HIMSELF TO THE DEFENDANT. AT THAT TIME THE DEFENDANT PUT HIS VEHICLE IN REVERSE, EXITED THE VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS IN MOTION AND ATTEMPTED TO FLEE DETECTIVE MOORE. DETECTIVE MOORE WAS ABLE TO CATCH THE DEFENDANT AND SECURE HIM. THE DEFENDANTâS VEHICLE CONTINUED BACKWARDS, WHERE IT THEN STRUCK DETECTIVE MOOREâS AGENCY ISSUED VEHICLE CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE LEFT REAR QUARTER PANEL. DETECTIVE GATER HAD TO JUMP INTO THE VEHICLE AND PUT IT IN PARK SO IT WOULD CAUSE NO FURTHER DAMAGE. UPON INTERVIEWING THE DEFENDANT, HE ADVISED DETECTIVE MOORE THAT THERE WAS A âROACHâ IN THE FRONT OF HIS VEHICLE. DETECTIVE MOORE DID SUBSEQUENTLY LOCATE THE ROACH, WHICH IS A SLANG WORD FOR A CANNABIS CIGARETTE. THE CANNABIS CIGARETTE WAS MEASURED AT .05 GRAMS. THE DEFENDANT DID STATE THAT HE HAS HAD SOME PROBLEMS WITH UNKNOWN PEOPLE, AND SAW DETECTIVE MOOREâS MUSTANG PULL IN BEHIND HIM. HE STATED THAT HE DID NOT KNOW WHO IT WAS, AND âJUST WANTED TO GET OUT OF THEREâ. THE DEFENDANT DID NOT REALIZE THAT HE HAD PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE BEFORE HE EXITED THE VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. ON THE WAY TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY, THE DEFENDANT SPONTANEOUSLY UTTERED, âMAN, ALL THIS OVER A ROACHâ. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE DETENTION FACILITY, THE DEFENDANT WAS TURNED OVER TO DETENTION STAFF FOR PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANT WAS ISSUED FLORIDA UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION 7646 FOR CARELESS DRIVING, AND FLORIDA UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION 7647 FOR LEAVING THE SCENE OF AN ACCIDENT. THE DEFENDANTâS BOND WAS SET AT $1,250.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE CANNABIS CIGARETTE WAS COLLECTED AND LATER SUBMITTED TO EVIDENCE. |
