I OBSERVED BOTH OF THOSE VEHICLES TAKE A RIGHT AND HEAD NORTH ON SPRING SONG TERRACE. AT THAT TIME THE SUV TYPE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROADWAY. UPON APPROACHING THE BACK END OF THE VEHICLE WITH MY VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE. AT THAT TIME, I ACTIVATED MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS AND CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP JUST NORTH OF THE INTERSECTION OF HOLIDAY STREET ON SPRING SONG TERRACE. AT THAT TIME, I APPROACHED THE DRIVERâS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE, MR DOUGLAS JONES II. I ASKED HIM IF EVERYTHING WAS ALRIGHT, AT WHICH TIME HE ADVISED THAT IT WAS. I ADVISED HIM THAT I STOPPED HIM, DUE TO HIM BEING STOPPED IN THE ROADWAY. MR JONES ADVISED THAT HE UNDERSTOOD, AND THAT HE WAS JUST LETTING HIS NIECE, WHO WAS IN THE OTHER VEHICLE, GO AROUND HIM. AT THAT TIME, I ASKED FOR HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE, REGISTRATION AND PROOF OF INSURANCE. HE HANDED ME HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE AND ADVISED THAT HE DID NOT HAVE INSURANCE OR REGISTRATION, DUE TO HIS VEHICLE WAS BORROWED FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT HE WORKS AT. I RESPONDED BACK TO MY VEHICLE AND RAN THE DRIVERâS LICENSE IN FCIC/NCIC, WHICH REVEALED THAT HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED FOR FAILURE TO PAY TRAFFIC FINES. AT THAT TIME DEPUTY STOKES AND K9 DEPUTY HYRC RESPONDED AS BACK UP TO MY LOCATION. I RESPONDED BACK TO THE VEHICLE AND ADVISED THE DEFENDANT THAT HE WOULD BE ISSUED A CITATION FOR DRIVING ON A SUSPENDED DRIVER'S LICENSE, AND HE ADVISED THAT IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING BATTLE WITH PASCO COUNTY, IN REFERENCE TO THE CITATION THAT HE HAD RECEIVED FROM THERE. AT THAT TIME, I ASKED MR JONES IF THERE WERE ANY FIREARMS, KNIVES OR DRUGS IN THE VEHICLE, AND HE ADVISED THAT THERE WAS NOT. I ASKED HIM IF HE MINDED IF I LOOKED IN HIS VEHICLE FOR SUCH ITEMS, AND HE ADVISED THAT WAS FINE. UPON SEARCHING THE DRIVERâS SIDE CABIN AREA OF THE VEHICLE NEXT TO THE DRIVERâS SEAT AND THE CENTER CONSOLE, I LOCATED A CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGY CONTAINING TEN WHITE PILLS. AT THAT TIME I PUT THE BAGGY ON THE PASSENGER SEAT OF THE VEHICLE, AND ASKED HIM IF EVERYTHING LOCATED INSIDE THE VEHICLE WAS HIS AND HE ADVISED THAT IT WAS. HE FURTHER ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE IS CLEANED OUT, UPON RECEIVING IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP. AT THAT TIME, I ASKED HIM IF THE CLEAR BAGGY FILLED WITH PILLS WAS HIS, AND HE ADVISED THAT HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. UPON LOOKING THROUGH A MEDICATION DRUG BOOK, IT REVEALED THAT THE PILLS ARE FOR PAIN AND THEY ARE FIVE MILLIGRAMS OF OXYCODONE/ACETAMINPHEN 325 MILLIGRAMS EACH. THE BAGGY WITH THE TEN PILLS WEIGHED 5.6 GRAMS. I ADVISED MR JONES THAT HE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR TRAFFICKING IN OXYCODONE, AT WHICH TIME I ADVISED HIM TO PLACE HIS HANDS BEHIND HIS BACK. HE WAS THEN HANDCUFFED, (DOUBLE LOCKED), BEHIND HIS BACK, SECURED IN THE REAR OF DEPUTY STOKESâ PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE PILLS WERE COLLECTED AND WILL BE TURNED INTO EVIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY ADAMâS TOWING. DEFENDANT WAS ISSUED CITATION NUMBER 7646GQF5 FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED WITH A MANDATORY COURT DATE OF 110812 AT 1300 HOURS. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $50,000, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
