| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: POLLARD, RANDALL 0677 (AR15-16763) DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HIS ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: APPROXIMATELY 5.3 GRAMS OF METHAMPHETAMINE AND ONE MORPHINE SULFATE PILL, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.13(6)(A). DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HIS 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: A CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE WITH METHAMPHETAMINE RESIDUE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.147(1). ON 100915, WHILE TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON EAST GULF TO LAKE HIGHWAY NEAR THE AREA OF BLANTON ROAD, I WAS BEHIND A WHITE VOLVO, BEARING GEORGIA LICENSE PLATE BLR1075. I PACED THE VEHICLE TRAVELING 53 MILES PER HOUR IN THE 45 MILE PER HOUR ZONE WITH MY CALIBRATED MARKED UNIT. AS THE VEHICLE TURNED WESTBOUND ON MAIN STREET, I COULD SEE THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW HAD EXTREMELY DARK TINT. I FOLLOWED THE VEHICLE THROUGH DOWNTOWN INVERNESS AND UPON INITIATING MY LIGHTS AND SIREN IN THE AREA OF MAIN STREET AND LINE AVENUE, I HAD MY SPOT LIGHT POINTED ON THE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND COULD CLEARLY SEE THE DRIVER MAKING FURTIVE MOVEMENTS, REACHING DOWN IN FRONT OF THE SEAT, AND HIS BODY SHIFTING UP AND DOWN IN THE SEAT. THE VEHICLE THEN TURNED NORTH ON LINE AVENUE WHERE IT CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AT THAT TIME, I WALKED UP AND MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER WHO PROVIDED ME WITH HIS FLORIDA DRIVER'S LICENSE, WHICH IDENTIFIED HIM AS MR CRAIG BOSSE. AT THAT TIME, SERGEANT MARSHALL ARRIVED ON SCENE AND I REQUESTED MR BOSSE STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND STAND AT THE FRONT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE, DUE TO HOW NERVOUS MR BOSSE APPEARED. I REQUESTED K-9 DEPUTY INDORATO RESPOND TO MY LOCATION. K-9 DEPUTY INDORATO ARRIVED A SHORT TIME LATER. UPON CONDUCTING AN EXTERIOR SNIFF OF THE VEHICLE, K-9 DEPUTY INDORATO ADVISED THAT HIS K-9 HAD ALERTED TO THE VEHICLE AND A SEARCH MAY BE CONDUCTED. I STOOD BY WITH MR BOSSE WHILE SERGEANT MARSHALL BEGAN THE SEARCH. SERGEANT MARSHALL RETRIEVED A WHITE PLASTIC BAGGIE FROM THE VEHICLE, WHICH HE STATED WAS ON THE DRIVERâS SEAT UNDER WHERE THE DRIVERâS BUTT WAS LOCATED. THE BAGGIE APPEARED TO HAVE RESIDUE INSIDE OF IT, AT WHICH TIME IT WAS FIELD TESTED AND TESTED POSITIVE FOR METHAMPHETAMINE. NO OTHER CONTRABAND WAS FOUND INSIDE THE VEHICLE. DEPUTY SEFFERN (0623) ARRIVED ON SCENE WITH A TINT METER FOR THE REAR DRIVER AND REAR PASSENGER WINDOWS, WHICH WERE ONLY 2 PERCENT. I THEN PLACED MR BOSSE IN HANDCUFFS (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK AND SEARCHED HIS PERSON. I ASKED MR BOSSE IF HE HAD ANYTHING ELSE ON HIM, TO WHICH HE STATED HE DID NOT. UPON WALKING MR BOSSE TO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY PATROL VEHICLE A CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE DROPPED OUT OF THE BOTTOM OF MR BOSSEâS SHORTS, WHICH CONTAINED A CRYSTAL LIKE SUBSTANCE. THERE WAS ALSO A PILL LOCATED INSIDE THE CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE. A PRESUMPTIVE FIELD TEST WAS CONDUCTED ON THE CRYSTAL LIKE SUBSTANCE, WHICH TESTED POSITIVE FOR METHAMPHETAMINE. MR BOSSE WAS THEN PLACED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. HE THEN STATED, ââDO YOU HAVE GLOVES ON?ââ AFTER ACKNOWLEDGING THAT I DID, MR BOSSE STUCK HIS HANDS DOWN THE CRACK OF HIS BUTT AND RETRIEVED ANOTHER SIMILAR BAGGIE, WHICH CONTAINED CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIES. THE EVIDENCE WAS COLLECTED. MR BOSSE WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. MR BOSSE HAD A DOG INSIDE THE VEHICLE THAT WAS TAKEN TO ANIMAL SERVICES. SERGEANT MARSHALL STOOD BY WITH THE VEHICLE UNTIL SCALLYâS TOWING ARRIVED TO TOW THE VEHICLE. I READ MR BOSSE HIS MIRANDA RIGHTS BEFORE TRANSPORT TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY, TO WHICH HE STATED HE UNDERSTOOD HIS RIGHTS. I ASKED MR BOSSE IF THE METHAMPHETAMINE IN HIS PANTS WAS THE REASON HE WAS MOVING AROUND PRIOR TO THE TRAFFIC STOP, TO WHICH HE STATED, ââYES, I WAS PUTTING IT IN MY BUTT.ââ MR BOSSE ALSO STATED HE HAD BEEN A USER OF METHAMPHETAMINE FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. THE METHAMPHETAMINE WAS WEIGHED WHILE AT THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY AND WAS IN TWO SEPARATE PLASTIC BAGGIES; ONE WEIGHING 3 GRAMS AND THE OTHER WEIGHING 2.3 GRAMS (TOTAL WEIGHT OF 5.3 GRAMS METHAMPHETAMINE). THE PILL THAT WAS LOCATED IN THE PLASTIC BAGGIE WAS IDENTIFIED AS MORPHINE SULFATE, A SCHEDULE II NARCOTIC THROUGH WW.DRUGS.COM. THE METHAMPHETAMINE, ALONG WITH THE MORPHINE PILL AND THE CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE RETRIEVED FROM THE DRIVERâS SEAT WERE ALL PACKAGED AND TURNED IN TO EVIDENCE. MR BOSSE WAS ISSUED TWO WRITTEN WARNINGS; ONE FOR SPEEDING 53 MILES PER HOUR IN A 45 MILE PER HOUR ZONE AND ONE FOR THE ILLEGAL WINDOW TINT. MR BOSSEâS BOND WAS SET AT $5,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
