Probable cause affidavit: SUBMITTED BY: CRIDLAND, TODD 0277 (AR08103240) did, while HIS DRIVER'S license was canceled, suspended or revoked pursuant to Florida Statute 322.264 (habitual offender), drive a motor vehicle upon the highways of this state, in violation of Florida Statute 322.34(5). ON 051608, AT APPROXIMATELY 0900 HOURS, I WAS RUNNING STATIONARY RADAR ON NORTH EAST EIGHTH STREET AT WHICH TIME I OBSERVED A 2000 GREY CHEVY BLAZER BEARING FLORIDA TAG NUMBER K336AH TO BE TRAVELING NORTH BOUND ON NORTH EAST EIGHT STREET. I VISUALLY ESTIMATED the VEHICLE SPEED TO BE APPROXIMATELY THIRTY FIVE MILES PER HOUR (MPH). A CLEAR AUDIBLE TONE WAS RECEIVED FROM MY RADAR INDICATING THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DOING THIRTY FOUR MPH IN A TWENTY FOUR MPH ZONE. IT WAS DURING THIS TIME, I FLAGGED the VEHICLE TO CONDUCT A TRAFFIC STOP. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH the DEFENDANT/DRIVER OF the VEHICLE, MR EDDIE MELTON. I ASKED MR MELTON FOR HIS DRIVERS LICENSE, REGISTRATION, AND PROOF OF INSURANCE TO WHICH HE STATED, THAT HE DID NOT HAVE HIS DRIVERS LICENSE ON HIM, IT WAS HIS MOTHER- IN- LAWS VEHICLE, AND THAT HE WAS NOT SURE WHERE the REGISTRATION WAS. the DEFENDANT THEN PROVIDED THIS DEPUTY WITH HIS NAME AND DATE OF BIRTH. A NAME CHECK WITH "DAVID" REVEALED THAT HIS DRIVERS LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED NUMEROUS TIMES AND THAT ON 061306, IT WAS REVOKED FOR SIXTY MONTHS AS A HABITUAL TRAFFIC OFFENDER. I OBTAINED A COPY OF MR MELTON'S DRIVERS LICENSE PHOTOGRAPH THROUGH "DAVID" TO OBTAIN A POSITIVE IDENTIFICATION. IT WAS AT THAT TIME, MR MELTON WAS PLACED IN HANDCUFFS (DOUBLE LOCKED) AND TRANSPORTED TO the CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY WHERE HIS BOND WAS SET AT $2,000.00 PER the BOND SCHEDULE. MR MELTON WAS ISSUED TRAFFIC WARNING CITATION 219284B FOR SPEEDING THIRTY FOUR MPH IN A TWENTY FIVE MPH ZONE AND WAS ALSO ISSUED CITATION NUMBER 7119FGW WITH A MANDATORY COURT DATE OF 060508, AT 1300 HOURS, FOR DRIVING ON A SUSPENDED DRIVERS LICENSE.
