ON 060811 AT APPROXIMATELY 1959 HOURS, WHILE PATROLLING MY ZONE, I OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT, MR DENNIS MARK FETTERMAN WHO WAS KNOWN TO ME TO HAVE A SUSPENDED DRIVER'S LICENSE, DRIVING A SILVER IN COLOR GMC SPORT UTILITY VEHICLE DOWN WEST MOCKINGBIRD STREET IN HOMOSASSA. I CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP AT THE INTERSECTION OF EASTERN AVENUE AND WEST MOCKINGBIRD STREET AND MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT. I ASKED FOR HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE, THE VEHICLE REGISTRATION AND PROOF OF INSURANCE. THE DEFENDANT HANDED ME AN INDIANA IDENTIFICATION CARD, A VALID REGISTRATION FOR THE VEHICLE AND AN INSURANCE CARD. THE DEFENDANT WAS KNOWINGLY DRIVING WHILE HIS LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED BECAUSE AT 1747 HOURS ON THIS DATE I WAS DISPATCHED TO 6342 SOUTH PLEASANT AVENUE IN HOMOSASSA IN REFERENCE TO ANOTHER CALL. I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT. AT THAT TIME, I RAN THE DEFENDANT'S INDIANA IDENTIFICATION CARD AND WAS ADVISED HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE HAD BEEN SUSPENDED OUT OF INDIANA. I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT MULTIPLE TIMES THAT HIS INDIANA DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED AND THAT HE SHOULD NOT DRIVE. I ALSO RAN THE DEFENDANT'S INFORMATION IN FCIC WHICH REVEALED THE DEFENDANT HAD A SUSPENDED DRIVER'S LICENSE OUT OF INDIANA. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK, SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR FURTHER PROCESSING. UPON ARRIVAL, THE DEFENDANT WAS BOOKED AND HELD ON ONE COUNT OF DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED, KNOWINGLY, WITH BOND SET AT $500.00, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BOND SCHEDULE.
