| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: CZECHOWSKI, RON 0484 (AR08104580) did, knowing HIS driver's license or driving privilege had been cancelled, suspended or revoked, drive a motor vehicle upon the highways of this state while such license or privilege was cancelled, in violation of Florida Statute 322.34(2)(a). ON 080608 AT APPROXIMATELY 2320 HOURS, I WAS CONDUCTING STATIONARY RADAR TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT ON SOUTH FLORIDA AVENUE, JUST SOUTH OF SOUTH AIRPORT ROAD. I NOTICED A MOTORCYCLE TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND ON SOUTH FLORIDA AVENUE. ONCE THE MOTORCYCLE PASSED MY LOCATION, I TURNED AND NOTICED THE MOTORCYCLE TAIL LIGHT WAS NOT ILLUMINATED. AT THAT TIME, I PROCEEDED TO INITIATE A TRAFFIC STOP ON THE MOTORCYCLE. UPON STOPPING THE MOTORCYCLE, I APPROACHED AND MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER, LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE SUSPECT, MR CHRISTOPHER WYRICK. I ASKED MR WYRICK FOR HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE, PROOF OF INSURANCE, IF HE HAD IT, AND REGISTRATION FOR THE MOTORCYCLE. MR WYRICK PROVIDED ME WITH HIS FLORIDA DRIVER'S LICENSE, AT WHICH TIME I WENT BACK TO MY PATROL VEHICLE WHERE i RAN THE LICENSE, W620112710820, THROUGH NCIC/FCIC. IT CAME BACK AS BEING SUSPENDED AS OF 052008 and 052108 FOR SUPPORT DELINQUENCY, FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 322.058. THE FCIC/NCIC RESPONSE ALSO STATED DRIVER SUSPENDED/REVOKED RECEIVED NOTICE BY COURT ORDER, UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION OR PRIOR MOVING VIOLATION FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED OR REVOKED. AT THAT TIME I MADE CONTACT WITH MR WYRICK and INQUIRED ABOUT HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE STATUS, TO WHICH HE STATED HE WAS UNAWARE AND HAD NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED BY THE COURTS. A D.A.V.I.D. INQUIRY WAS CONDUCTED ON MR WYRICK, WHICH REVEALED THAT HE HAD BEEN CITED FOR DRIVING WHILE HIS LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED, REVOKED OR DISQUALIFIED ON 100188, 121289, AND 061391. AT THAT TIME, I ADVISED MR WYRICK THAT HE WAS UNDER ARREST FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED, KNOWING. HE WAS HANDCUFFED, DOUBLE-LOCKED, and PLACED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. PRIOR TO PLACING MR WYRICK IN MY VEHICLE, HE STATED THE MOTORCYCLE could BE LEFT AT A NEARBY BUSINESS AND THAT HE OR A FRIEND WOULD PICK IT UP IN THE MORNING. AT THAT TIME, I TRANSPORTED MR WYRICK TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR PROCESSING. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE DETENTION FACILITY, MR WYRICK WAS PROCESSED AND CHARGED WITH ONE COUNT OF DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED, KNOWING, WITH A BOND AMOUNT OF $500.00. ALSO AT THE JAIL, I ISSUED MR WYRICK FLORIDA UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION NUMBER 7508-FYK FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED, KNOWING, WITH A MANDATORY COURT DATE OF 082108 AT 1300 HOURS. I ALSO ISSUED MR WYRICK WARNING CITATION NUMBER 227246B FOR INOPERABLE TAIL LIGHT, AND WARNING CITATION NUMBER 227427B FOR FAILURE TO OBTAIN NEW FLORIDA DRIVER'S LICENSE WITHIN 10 DAYS OF CHANGING ADDRESS. IT SHOULD BE NOTED MR WYRICK STATED HE HAS LIVED IN CITRUS COUNTY FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO MONTHS. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
