| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: BERGEN, JOHN 0519 (AR08101422) DID KNOWINGLY, WHILE HIS OPERATOR'S OR CHAUFFEUR'S LICENSE OR DRIVING PRIVILEGE HAD BEEN CANCELLED, SUSPENDED OR REVOKED, DRIVE UPON THE HIGHWAYS OF THIS STATE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 322.34(2). ON 012608, WHILE OBSERVING TRAFFIC AND RUNNING MOVING RADAR, I OBSERVED A VEHICLE HEADED NORTHBOUND OF THE INTERSECTION OF HIGHWAY 19 AND WEST VENABLE STREET. I WAS HEADED SOUTHBOUND ON HIGHWAY 19, AND THE VEHICLE (WHITE DODGE PICKUP TRUCK) APPEARED TO BE IN EXCESS OF THE POSTED 45 MILE PER HOUR SPEED LIMIT. AT THAT TIME, I ACTIVATED MY FRONT ANTENNA WHICH PROVIDED ME WITH A DIGITAL READOUT OF 67 MILES AN HOUR, AS WELL AS A STRONG DOPPLER TONE. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE WAS THE ONLY VEHICLE HEADED NORTHBOUND AT THAT TIME AND THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES IN THE AREA. I THEN TURNED MY PATROL VEHICLE AROUND AND ATTEMPTED TO CATCH UP WITH THE VEHICLE, WHERE I DID STOP THE VEHICLE AT THE INTERSECTION OF HIGHWAY 19 AND FORT ISLAND TRAIL. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT I NEVER LOST SIGHT OF THE SUSPECT VEHICLE. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER, IDENTIFIED AS MR DANIEL NOVAK, AND ASKED FOR HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE, WHICH HE DID PROVIDE ME. MR NOVAK THEN STATED, "I'M SORRY, I WAS JUST TRYING TO GET HOME." I STATED, THAT'S OKAY, AND HE THEN STATED, "I KNOW MY DRIVER'S LICENSE IS SUSPENDED. I JUST RECEIVED A CITATION FOR IT LAST NIGHT." HE THEN HANDED ME A CITATION FROM HERNANDO COUNTY FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED KNOWINGLY. AT THAT TIME, I RETURNED TO MY PATROL VEHICLE AND RAN THE DEFENDANT'S INFORMATION, WHICH DID REVEAL HE HAD A SUSPENDED DRIVER'S LICENSE. I PLACED THE DEFENDANT UNDER ARREST AND HE WAS HANDCUFFED BEHIND HIS BACK (DOUBLE LOCKED) AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR PROCESSING. BOND SET AT $250.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT ON SCENE PER THE DEFENDANT. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
