ON 122009 AT APPROXIMATELY 2145 HOURS, I OBSERVED A WHITE VEHICLE TRAVELING NORTHBOUND IN THE SOUTHBOUND LANE OF US HIGHWAY 19, DRIVING DIRECTLY AT ME. I ACTIVATED MY OVERHEAD LIGHTS AND STOPPED IN THE ROADWAY AS THERE WAS OTHER TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. THE WHITE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE RIGHT, CROSSING INTO THE PROPER LANE THEN PULLED INTO A GAS STATION IN REFERENCE TO MY TRAFFIC STOP. UPON APPROACHING THE WHITE VEHICLE, I ASKED THE DRIVER/DEFENDANT, LATER IDENTIFIED AS MR EVELIO M VARGAS, FOR HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE AND THE VEHICLE REGISTRATION. THE DRIVER HANDED ME AN INTERNATIONAL DRIVING PERMIT, ADVISING ME THIS WAS HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE. IT WAS KNOWN TO THIS DEPUTY THAT THIS PLASTIC CARD CAN BE PURCHASED THROUGH MAGAZINES AS WELL AS THE INTERNET. I AGAIN ASKED THE DRIVER FOR A REAL DRIVER'S LICENSE. HE ADVISED HE DID NOT HAVE ONE FROM MEXICO, which WAS WHERE HE WAS FROM, BUT DID HAVE THE INTERNATIONAL ONE. IN SPEAKING WITH THE DRIVER, I COULD SMELL THE ODOR OF AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE EMANATING FROM HIS BREATH. THE DRIVER HAD STEPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND WAS MOVING EXTREMELY SLOWLY. FURTHERMORE, HE WAS SPEAKING WITH SLURRED SPEECH AND A HEAVY SPANISH ACCENT. THE DRIVER ADVISED THAT HE WORKED AT THE CHINESE RESTAURANT IN THE CRYSTAL RIVER MALL AND THAT HE HAD BEEN DRINKING APPROXIMATELY EIGHT BEERS. I ASKED THE DRIVER IF HE WOULD PARTICIPATE IN FIELD SOBRIETY TASKS BECAUSE I BELIEVED HIM TO BE UNDER THE INFLUENCE. HE ADVISED THAT HE DID NOT UNDERSTAND ENGLISH AND COULD NOT PERFORM THESE TASKS. I PLACED THE DRIVER UNDER ARREST FOR DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE AS WELL AS FOR NOT HAVING A VALID DRIVER'S LICENSE. HE WAS ALSO ARRESTED ON A CHARGE OF OBSTRUCTION BY DISPLAYING A FAKE DRIVER'S LICENSE THAT HE PURCHASED OFF THE INTERNET. THE DRIVER/DEFENDANT WAS HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK AND SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE FOR TRANSPORT TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. PRIOR TO LEAVING THE SCENE, THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY ADAM'S TOWING. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY WHERE HE WAS READ HIS IMPLIED CONSENT AND MIRANDA WARNINGS BY THE INTOXILYZER OPERATOR. THE DEFENDANT AGREED TO SUBMIT TO THE APPROVED TEST OF HIS BREATH WITH THE TEST RESULTS BEING .217 AND .218. THE DEFENDANT WAS CHARGED WITH DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE WITH A $500.00 BOND, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE DEFENDANT WAS ALSO CHARGED WITH DRIVING WITH NO VALID DRIVER'S LICENSE AND OBSTRUCTION BY DISGUISED PERSON. BOTH OF THESE CHARGES HAVE A TOTAL BOND OF $1,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE.
