ON 071114 AT APPROXIMATELY 2212 HOURS, WHILE DRIVING SOUTHBOUND ON HIGHWAY 19, I OBSERVED A WHITE IN COLOR FORD F-150 PICKUP TRUCK DRIVING NORTHBOUND TOWARDS THIS DEPUTY. THAT TRUCK HAD AN INOPERABLE HEADLIGHT AND TURNED EASTBOUND ON GROVER CLEVELAND BOULEVARD. AT THAT TIME, I ALSO TURNED EASTBOUND AND GOT BEHIND THE VEHICLE INITIATING A TRAFFIC STOP WITH MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS. AFTER STOPPING IN THE WALGREENâS PARKING LOT ON the CORNER OF HIGHWAY 19 AND GROVER CLEVELAND BOULEVARD, I APPROACHED the DRIVER OF the VEHICLE, MS DONNA TANIS, AND ASKED HER TO PRODUCE HER DRIVER'S LICENSE, REGISTRATION FOR THE VEHICLE AND PROOF OF INSURANCE. AFTER CHECKING MS TANISâS DRIVER LICENSE STATUS, AS WELL AS THE REGISTRATION OF THE VEHICLE, I RETURNED TO the DRIVER SIDE WINDOW AND ASKED MS TANIS FOR CONSENT TO SEARCH THE VEHICLE, TO WHICH SHE AGREED. AT THAT TIME MS TANIS STEPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND WALKED BACK TO THE FRONT BUMPER OF MY PATROL VEHICLE IN ORDER FOR ME TO CONDUCT A SEARCH. LOCATED ON the SEAT NEXT TO THE DRIVER SIDE, I FOUND A BLACK IN COLOR PURSE. INSIDE THAT PURSE, I OBSERVED A BLACK METAL PIPE COMMONLY USED FOR SMOKING MARIJUANA, AS WELL AS A SMALL PLASTIC BAGGIE WITH A GREEN LEAFY SUBSTANCE IN IT, THAT BASED ON MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE, I BELIEVED TO BE MARIJUANA. THE GREEN LEAFY SUBSTANCE WAS FIELD TESTED WITH A PRESUMPTIVE FIELD TEST, WHICH CAME BACK POSITIVE FOR CANNABIS. I CONTINUED TO SEARCH the PURSE, AT WHICH TIME I LOCATED THREE PLASTIC PILL CONTAINERS THAT ALL OF WHICH HAD THE LABELS RIPPED OFF SO I COULD NOT CLEARLY IDENTIFY WHAT THE PILLS WERE. AT THAT TIME, I AGAIN MADE CONTACT WITH MS TANIS AND READ HER HER MIRANDA RIGHTS. AFTER READING HER HER RIGHTS SHE AGREED TO SPEAK WITH ME, AT WHICH TIME SHE STATED SHE DID NOT HAVE A PRESCRIPTION FOR ANY OF THE PILLS THAT WERE IN HER PURSE. SHE ALSO STATED THAT SHE GOT THEM FROM A FRIEND because SHE WAS HAVING A ROUGH WEEK. MS TANIS ADMITTED THAT THE PILLS, AS WELL AS THE MARIJUANA AND PIPE WERE ALL HERS. AT THAT TIME, MS TANIS WAS HANDCUFFED DOUBLE LOCKED BEHIND HER BACK AND PLACED UNDER ARREST. AFTER COLLECTING THE PILL BOTTLES, I OBSERVED SEVEN ROUND YELLOW PILLS THAT WERE LATER IDENTIFIED AS CLONAZEPAM, .5MG PILLS, USING THE DRUG.COM PILL IDENTIFIER ON MY COMPUTER. THE NEXT THREE PILLS WERE IDENTIFIED AS 5MG DIAZEPAM, WHICH WERE ROUND AND YELLOW IN COLOR. BOTH ARE SCHEDULE THREE CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES. ALSO IN the PILL CONTAINERS I LOCATED NINE WHITE IN COLOR ROUND PILLS, WHICH WERE LATER IDENTIFIED AS TRAMADOL. I ALSO COLLECTED SEVEN TYLENOL/OXYCODONE PILLS. THE MARIJUANA WAS WEIGHED AT APPROXIMATELY 2.7 GRAMS. ALL 26 PILLS, AS WELL AS THE MARIJUANA AND PIPE WERE COLLECTED AND LATER TURNED INTO EVIDENCE. the VEHICLE IN WHICH MS TANIS WAS DRIVING WAS TURNED OVER TO A FRIEND WITH ALL HER PROPERTY, INCLUDING A CELLULAR TELEPHONE, PURSE, AND APPROXIMATELY $2,000.00 IN CASH. MS TANIS WAS PLACED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. HER BOND WAS SET AT A TOTAL OF $6,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
