| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: POLLARD, RANDALL 0677 (AR10115624) DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HIS ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: CRACK COCAINE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.13(6)(A). DID UNLAWFULLY AND KNOWINGLY HAVE IN HIS ACTUAL OR 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). ON 070110 AT APPROXIMATELY 1800 HOURS, WHILE TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND ON HIGHWAY 19 IN THE AREA OF NE 3RD AVENUE, I OBSERVED A WHITE MALE CROSSING TRAFFIC. HE SEEMED TO BE HAVING A HARD TIME CROSSING THE ROAD. I COULD NOT TELL IF THE SUBJECT WAS IMPAIRED OR IF IT WAS A MEDICAL CONDITION. I THEN PULLED INTO THE CHEVRON STATION LOCATED AT 639 NE HIGHWAY 19 WHERE I MADE CONTACT WITH THIS SUBJECT, NOW IDENTIFIED AS MR ERIC T HAMILTON (DEFENDANT). I ASKED MR HAMILTON IF I COULD SPEAK with HIM TO WHICH HE STATED YES I COULD. I THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE HAD A DRIVER'S LICENSE AND IF I COULD SEE IT, AT WHICH TIME, THE DEFENDANT PULLED OUT HIS FLORIDA IDENTIFICATION CARD AND I CONDUCTED A FIELD INTERVIEW REPORT (FIR) ON THE DEFENDANT. UPON COMPLETING THIS, I ASKED THE DEFENDANT'S PERMISSION TO SEARCH HIS PERSON AND BELONGINGS TO WHICH HE STATED I COULD. AFTER SEARCHING THE DEFENDANT'S POCKETS, I FOUND NO SIGNS OF WEAPONS OR ILLEGAL NARCOTICS. WHILE PATTING THE DEFENDANT DOWN FURTHER, I FELT A BAG OF CHANGE UNDERNEATH THE DEFENDANT'S SHORT'S POCKET IN BETWEEN HIS UNDERWEAR IN THE INSIDE OF HIS SHORTS. THE DEFENDANT STATED IT WAS SIMPLY A CROWN ROYAL BAG WHICH HE CARRIES HIS CHANGE IN. THE DEFENDANT THEN PULLED THE CROWN ROYAL BAG OUT FROM UNDERNEATH HIS SHORTS AND BEGAN EMPTYING THE CROWN ROYAL BAG. UPON DOING SO, THE DEFENDANT REMOVED A SMALL PLASTIC BAGGIE CONTAINING SEVERAL WHITE ROCK LIKE SUBSTANCE AND A SMALL PLASTIC BAGGIE CONTAINING A GREEN LEAFY SUBSTANCE, BOTH OF WHICH I RECOGNIZED THROUGH MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE TO BE CRACK COCAINE AND MARIJUANA RESPECTIVELY. AT THIS TIME, HE STATED "OH SHIT, I FORGOT I HAD THAT IN THERE". AT THAT TIME, I PLACED THE DEFENDANT UNDER ARREST FOR POSSESSION OF CRACK COCAINE AND MARIJUANA. AT THAT TIME, DEPUTY REID (0706) READ THE DEFENDANT HIS MIRANDA RIGHTS VIA A PREPRINTED CARD. THE DEFENDANT DID STATE HE KNEW HIS RIGHTS AND UNDERSTOOD THEM. HE THEN ELECTED TO SPEAK WITH US FURTHER. THE DEFENDANT STATED HE HAS BEEN A CRACK COCAINE USER SINCE THE AGE OF 13 YEARS OLD. HE ALSO STATED THAT HE DID NOT BELIEVE HE HAD ANY NARCOTICS ON HIM AND HE THOUGHT HE HAD SMOKED ALL OF THE CRACK COCAINE AND ALL THE CANNABIS WHICH IS THE REASON HE DID NOT MIND US SEARCHING HIM. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR PROCESSING AND BOOKING. WHILE AT THE DETENTION FACILITY, THE CONTENTS IN THE SMALL PLASTIC BAGGIE CONTAINING CRACK COCAINE WAS TESTED BY A PRESUMPTIVE FIELD TEST WHICH YIELDED POSITIVE FOR CRACK COCAINE. THE CANNABIS WAS ALSO PRESUMPTIVE FIELD TESTED AND YIELDED POSITIVE FOR CANNABIS. THE CRACK COCAINE WAS WEIGHED AT THE WEIGHT OF APPROXIMATELY 1.2 GRAMS WITH THE PLASTIC BAGGIE. THE MARIJUANA WAS ALSO WEIGHED AT APPROXIMATELY 2.3 GRAMS WITH THE PLASTIC BAGGIE. THE NARCOTICS SEIZED FROM THE DEFENDANT WILL BE PLACED IN TO EVIDENCE AT THE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER (EOC) AND SUBMITTED WITH THE PROPER PAPERWORK. THE DEFENDANT'S BAIL WAS SET AT $5,500 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
