SUBMITTED BY: RICHEY, JONATHAN 0678 (17-18832) (AR17-22543) DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HIS ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: COCAINE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.13(6)(A). CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: CANNABIS, COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS MARIJUANA, IN AN AMOUNT OF 20 GRAMS OR LESS, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.13(6)(B). DID KNOWINGLY ATTACH TO ANY MOTOR VEHICLE OR MOBILE HOME ANY REGISTRATION LICENSE PLATE, OR WHO KNOWINGLY ATTACHES ANY VALIDATION STICKER OR MOBILE HOME STICKER TO A REGISTRATION LICENSE PLATE, WHICH PLATE OR STICKER WAS NOT ISSUED AND ASSIGNED OR LAWFULLY TRANSFERRED TO SUCH VEHICLE, IS IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 320.261 DID, KNOWING HIS DRIVERâS LICENSE OR DRIVING PRIVILEGE HAD BEEN CANCELLED, SUSPENDED OR REVOKED, DRIVE A MOTOR VEHICLE UPON THE HIGHWAYS OF THIS STATE WHILE SUCH LICENSE OR PRIVILEGE WAS CANCELLED, SUSPENDED OR REVOKED AS A 3RD OR SUBSEQUENT VIOLATION, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 322.34(2)(C). ON 020617 AT APPROXIMATELY 1100 HOURS, I WAS CONDUCTING STATIONARY TRAFFIC ON VEHICLES TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND ON SUNCOAST BOULEVARD AT WEST MAYO DRIVE. I OBSERVED A GREEN CHEVROLET PICKUP TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND WITH A FRONT WINDOW TINT VIOLATION. I COULD ALSO SEE THE DRIVER WAS NOT WEARING A SEATBELT. A TRAFFIC STOP WAS CONDUCTED ON THIS VEHICLE BEARING FLORIDA LICENSE PLATE NUMBER Y05JMC. UPON MAKING CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER, I CONFIRMED THE FRONT WINDOW TINT EXCEEDED THE AS1 LINE AND THE DRIVER WAS STILL NOT WEARING A SEATBELT. THE DRIVER IDENTIFIED HIMSELF, AS MR EDDIE HARRIS, HOWEVER, DID NOT HAVE A DRIVER'S LICENSE PRESENT. HE ALSO COULD NOT PROVIDE A REGISTRATION AND STATED IT WAS A FRIENDâS VEHICLE THAT WAS JUST PURCHASED. THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER IDENTIFIED HIMSELF AS MR DAVID LEMON VIA A FLORIDA IDENTIFICATION CARD. AFTER EXPLAINING THE TWO VIOLATIONS TO THE DRIVER, I RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE WHERE A RECORDS CHECK REVEALED DRIVER'S LICENSE FOR THE DRIVER, MR HARRIS, WAS CURRENTLY UNDER SUSPENSION SINCE 011317 FOR FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY WITH A NOTICE PROVIDED OF 122916. THE RECORDS CHECK ALSO REVEALED THAT HE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN CONVICTED FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED OR REVOKED ON THE FOLLOWING DATES 121902, 090904, 100704, 060905. UPON RUNNING THE TAG ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE, Y05JMC, IT CAME BACK TO A 1996 4-DOOR FORD. THIS VEHICLE BEING DRIVEN WAS A GREEN CHEVROLET PICKUP. I ASKED MR HARRIS TO STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO SPEAK WITH ME. BEFORE I COULD ADVISE HIM OF THE INFORMATION I HAD FOUND, HE STATED THAT HIS FRIEND JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AND HE HAD TAKEN THE TAG OFF OF HIS FORD CAR AND PLACED IT ON THIS TRUCK SO HE COULD GO TO TOWN AND PAY A BILL. I STATED TO HIM THAT HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE HAD BEEN SUSPENDED DUE TO FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY TO WHICH HE ADVISED ME HE HAD NOT PAID HIS INSURANCE ON HIS FORD BECAUSE IT WAS BROKE DOWN AND HE THINKS THAT IS WHAT CAUSED HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE TO BE SUSPENDED. A CONSENSUAL SEARCH OF HIS PERSON WAS CONDUCTED WHERE I LOCATED A PLASTIC BAGGIE OF WHAT APPEARED TO BE CANNABIS IN HIS FRONT LEFT POCKET WHICH LATER WEIGHED AT 1.7 GRAMS AND FIELD TESTED POSITIVE. I LOCATED A CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE IN HIS RIGHT PANTS WATCH POCKET CONTAINING TWO SMALL, WHAT I BELIEVED TO BE, CRACK COCAINE ROCKS. THEY WEIGHED IN AT .5 GRAMS AND FIELD TESTED POSITIVE. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED, (DOUBLE LOCKED), BEHIND HIS BACK, AND SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. THE PASSENGER CONSENTED TO A LEGAL SEARCH OF HIS PERSON WHICH YIELDED A NEGATIVE RESULT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY ADAMâS TOWING. THE DEFENDANT WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANTâS BOND WAS SET AT $2,000.00 FOR POSSESSION OF COCAINE, $1,000.00 FOR POSESSION OF MARIJUANA, $1,000.00 FOR ATTACHED TAG NOT ASSIGNED AND $1,000.00 FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED 3RD CONVICTION FOR A TOTAL BOND OF $5,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE THE DEFENDANT WAS ISSUED THE FOLLOWING CITATIONS: CITATION NUMBER A7YPSSE FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED 3RD CONVICTION WITH A MANDATORY COURT APPEARANCE ON 022317 AT 1300 HOURS CITATION NUMBER A7YPSRE FOR ATTACHING TAG NOT ASSIGNED WITH A MANDATORY COURT APPEARANCE ON 022317 AT 1300 HOURS CITATION NUMBER A7YPSQE FOR NO SEATBELT WITH A FINE OF $116.00 CITATION NUMBER A7YPSPE FOR WINDSHIELD TINT VIOLATION WITH A FINE OF $116.00 |
