| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: CALLAHAN, CRAIG 0643 (AR10113775). knowing HER driver's license or driving privilege had been cancelled, suspended or revoked AS A HABITUAL TRAFFIC OFFENDER, drive a motor vehicle upon the highways of this state while such license or privilege was cancelled, in violation of Florida Statute 322.34(5) ON 031310 AT APPROXIMATELY 0256 HOURS, I WAS SITTING STATIONARY IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE CIRCLE K CONVENIENCE STORE AT THE INTERSECTION OF SOUTH FLORIDA AVENUE AND EAST GOBBLER DRIVE WHEN I OBSERVED A RED IN COLOR FORD PICKUP TRUCK THAT WAS TRAVELING EAST ON GOBBLER POINT. AS THE VEHICLE APPROACHED THE INTERSECTION OF SOUTH FLORIDA AVENUE, I OBSERVED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THEN MADE A LEFT TURN ON TO SOUTH FLORIDA AVENUE, TRAVELING NORTH. I CAUGHT UP TO THE VEHICLE, ACTIVATED MY OVERHEAD EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT AND CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP ON SOUTH FLORIDA AVENUE, JUST SOUTH OF SOUTH AIRPORT ROAD. I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER/DEFENDANT, MS CHRISTINE POLLACK, AND ADVISED HER OF THE REASON FOR THE TRAFFIC STOP. I REQUESTED HER DRIVER'S LICENSE AND THE VEHICLE REGISTRATION, TO WHICH SHE STATED SHE DID NOT HAVE HER DRIVER'S LICENSE. SHE FURTHER STATED HER LICENSE HAD BEEN SUSPENDED FOR FAILING TO PAY MULTIPLE TRAFFIC CITATIONS AND THAT SHE WAS AN HABITUAL TRAFFIC OFFENDER. SHE THEN PROVIDED A FLORIDA IDENTIFICATION CARD, AT WHICH TIME I RETURNED TO MY PATROL VEHICLE AND RAN HER IDENTIFICATION THROUGH FCIC/NCIC. FCIC/NCIC CONFIRMED THE DEFENDANT'S DRIVING PRIVILEGE HAD BEEN REVOKED AS AN HABITUAL OFFENDER, FOR MULTIPLE REASONS, INCLUDING VIOLATION OF CHAPTER 893 (CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE,) FAILURE TO PAY MULTIPLE TRAFFIC CITATIONS AND PREVIOUS MOVING VIOLATIONS FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED. FURTHERMORE, IT WAS DETERMINED THE DEFENDANT WAS ISSUED A NOTICE BY COURT ORDER THAT HER DRIVING PRIVILEGE HAD BEEN SUSPENDED. I RETURNED TO THE DEFENDANT AND ASKED HER WHY SHE HAD BEEN DRIVING. SHE STATED HER HUSBAND WAS OUT OF TOWN AND SHE HAD NO MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. I ADVISED HER SHE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED (DWLS/R,) HABITUAL. SHE WAS HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HER BACK, SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING, UPON ARRIVAL, THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $2,000.00, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE DEFENDANT WAS ISSUED A FLORIDA UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION, CITATION NUMBER 1746-FYA5, FOR DWLS/R, WITH A MANDATORY COURT APPEARANCE DATE TO BE SET. THE DEFENDANT WAS ALSO GIVEN A VERBAL WARNING FOR RUNNING THE STOP SIGN. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
