Probable cause affidavit: SUBMITTED BY: HINDERHOFER, EDWARD 0667 (AR14-12683) DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HIS ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: 1.6 GRAMS OF METHAMPHETAMINE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.13(6)(A). DID UNLAWFULLY RESIST, OBSTRUCT OR OPPOSE DEPUTY HINDERHOFER, EDWARD 0667, WHO WAS THEN AND THERE IN THE LAWFUL EXECUTION OF A LEGAL DUTY, OR EXECUTION OF LEGAL PROCESS, TO WIT: FLEEING ON FOOT AND JUMPING IN TO THE RIVER AFTER BEING TOLD TO PUT HIS HANDS BEHIND HIS BACK, WITHOUT OFFERING OR DOING VIOLENCE TO THE PERSON OF SUCH OFFICER, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 843.02. ON 110514 AT APPROXIMATELY 2110 HOURS, I WAS DISPATCHED TO 3701 NORTH WEBB POINT, IN HERNANDO, IN REFERENCE TO A POSSIBLE TRESPASS. UPON ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH A RESIDENT IN THAT AREA, WHO ADVISED THAT THEY HEARD YELLING AND STRANGE NOISES COMING FROM THE WOODS. AT THAT TIME, DEPUTY FELIX AND I BEGAN WALKING IN TO THE WOODS AT THE END OF NORTH WEBB POINT, WHERE WE OBSERVED A GREEN CHEVROLET LUMINA MINI VAN THAT APPEARED TO BE ABANDONED AND POSSIBLY CRASHED INTO THE WOODS. THE VEHICLE WAS BEARING STOLEN FLORIDA LICENSE PLATE 8963PD. I OBSERVED A CLEAR BAGGIE, WITH A CRYSTAL LIKE SUBSTANCE, IN PLAIN VIEW ON THE DRIVER’S SEAT OF THE VEHICLE. AT THAT TIME, I BEGAN HEARING NOISES IN THE WOODS THAT POSSIBLY SOUNDED LIKE A MALE SUBJECT YELLING FOR HELP AND YELLING, ‘’OUCH.’’ I REQUESTED K-9 AND AVIATION TO RESPOND. DEPUTY FELIX, DEPUTY RITLI, DEPUTY SLINGERLAND, SERGEANT CONLEY, AND I BEGAN TRACKING THROUGH THE WOODS TOWARDS THE SOUNDS. AT APPROXIMATELY 2246 HOURS, I OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT, LATER IDENTIFIED AS MR DONALD MERRILL, SITTING ON THE GROUND NEAR THE WATER. HE WAS WEARING NO SHIRT AND ONE SPERRY SHOE AND HE ADVISED THAT HE WAS CAMPING. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF THE GREEN VAN, WHICH HAD WRECKED IN TO THE WOODS, BELONGED TO HIM AND HE ADVISED THAT IT POSSIBLY BELONGED TO A FRIEND NAMED JOHN. I ASKED HIM IF HE HAD ANYTHING ILLEGAL ON HIS PERSON, SUCH AS DRUGS OR WEAPONS, AND HE ADVISED HE DID NOT. I ASKED HIM IF I COULD SEARCH HIM, AT WHICH TIME HE STOOD UP, WALKED TOWARDS ME, BEGAN EMPTYING HIS POCKETS, AND STATED, ‘’GO AHEAD.’’ IN THE DEFENDANT’S RIGHT FRONT POCKET I PULLED OUT TWO SMALL BAGGIES, CONTAINING A CLEAR CRYSTAL LIKE SUBSTANCE, WHICH THROUGH MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE I BELIEVED TO BE METHAMPHETAMINE. AT THAT TIME, I GRABBED THE DEFENDANT BY HIS ARM AND ADVISED HIM TO PUT HIS HANDS BEHIND HIS BACK. AT THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT BEGAN TO FLEE ON FOOT AND HE JUMPED IN TO THE RIVER. I WAS ABLE TO GRAB A HOLD OF HIM, AFTER ALSO JUMPING IN TO THE RIVER. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN HANDCUFFED, (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK, AND ESCORTED OUT OF THE WOODS. THE CRYSTAL LIKE SUBSTANCE WAS TESTED AND YIELDED A POSITIVE TEST FOR METHAMPHETAMINE. IT WAS COLLECTED, WEIGHED, AND TURNED IN TO EVIDENCE. THE METHAMPHETAMINE WEIGHED A TOTAL OF 1.6 GRAMS. AT THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT WAS SECURED IN THE REAR OF DEPUTY FELIX’S PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANT WAS CHARGED WITH THE POSSESSION OF METHAMPHETAMINE AND RESISTING AN OFFICER WITHOUT VIOLENCE. THE DEFENDANT’S BOND WAS SET AT , PENDING FURTHER CHARGES. SEE SUPPLEMENT FOR FURTHER.
