| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: SAAYMAN, FRANCO 1340 (15-18190) (AR15-13825) DID, KNOWING HIS/her 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 KNOWINGLY AS A 2ND OFFENSE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 322.34(2)(B). ON 020915, AT APPROXIMATELY 1759 HOURS, I CALLED A COMPLAINANT, MS SUSAN VON AMMON, IN REFERENCE TO A PAST STALKING. MS AMMON ADVISED THAT HER DAUGHTER, MS STEPHANIE LACHNER, WAS BEING STALKED BY THE DEFENDANT, MR FIDEL PULLIAM. I MADE CONTACT WITH MS LACHNER, WHO ADVISED ME THAT THE DEFENDANT IS MAD AT HER BECAUSE HE THINKS SHE IS TALKING TO ANOTHER GUY. SHE SAID SHE LEFT HER RESIDENCE OF 900 WEST KUHNS LANE, IN LECANTO, AND WENT TO HER MOTHERâS RESIDENCE. SHE SAID SHE WAS SCARED AND TOLD ME THAT THE DEFENDANT WAS DRIVING TO HER RESIDENCE RIGHT NOW IN A GREEN FORD F-150 BEARING LICENSE PLATE NUMBER BGBB82 BELONGING TO MR PAUL SAWKA. MS LACHNER ASKED ME IF I COULD TRESPASS THE DEFENDANT FROM HER RESIDENCE AND I INFORMED HER THAT THERE IS A PREVIOUS TRESPASS FROM 2011 STILL IN EFFECT. I RESPONDED TO MS LACHNERâS RESIDENCE TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT, WHICH WAS MET WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. I RESPONDED TO THE DEFENDANTâS RESIDENCE OF 1607 EAST AMBERJACK DRIVE, IN HERNANDO, WHICH WAS ALSO MET WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. UPON LEAVING the RESIDENCE, I PASSED A GREEN COLORED F-150, TURNED AROUND AND FOLLOWED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE BORE THE LICENSE PLATE NUMBER OF BGBB82. AS PART OF MY INVESTIGATION, I ACTIVATED MY OVERHEAD EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON MY PATROL VEHICLE AND CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP RIGHT IN FRONT OF the DEFENDANTâS RESIDENCE. I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT WHO IMMEDIATELY ADVISED ME THAT HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT ABOUT MS LACHNER AND IF HE IS INDEED STALKING HER AND HE SAID THAT SHE WAS CRAZY AND HAS DONE THIS IN THE PAST, BUT ADMITTED THAT HE WAS UPSET AS HE FOUND OUT SHE WAS WRITING AN OLD BOYFRIEND VIA SOCIAL MEDIA. THE DEFENDANT ALSO TOLD ME THAT HE HAD MULTIPLE GIRLFRIENDS AND WAS MARRIED. THE DEFENDANT WAS TOLD THAT A TRESPASS WAS STILL IN EFFECT FROM 2011 AND HE WAS NOT TO GO BACK TO MS LACHNERâS RESIDENCE. I GAVE THE DEFENDANT THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONTACT A FRIEND TO RETRIEVE HIS VEHICLE, WHICH THE FRIEND ADVISED HE would DO SO IMMEDIATELY. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED, BEHIND HIS BACK, (DOUBLE LOCKED), SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. DEPUTY LABORDA AND K-9 GUNNY CONDUCTED A 360 DEGREE SEARCH OF THE FREE AIR SURROUNDING THE VEHICLE. K-9 GUNNY ALERTED DEPUTY LABORDA TO THE SCENT OF NARCOTICS. UPON SEARCHING THE VEHICLE, NO NARCOTICS OR PARAPHERNALIA WERE LOCATED. the VICTIMâS CELLULAR TELEPHONE AND WALLET CONTAINING $288.00 WAS PLACED INTO GENERAL PROPERTY AT THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. THE DEFENDANTâS BOND WAS SET AT $1,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. ON 012105 THE DEFENDANT WAS PREVIOUSLY CONVICTED FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED OR REVOKED. |
