SUBMITTED BY: HRYC, CHRISTOPHER 0701 (AR11119998) did, knowing HIS driver's license or driving privilege had been cancelled, suspended or revoked AS A HABITUAL TRAFFIC OFFENDER, drive a motor vehicle upon the highways of this state while such license or privilege was cancelled, in violation of Florida Statute 322.34(5). ON 032911, WHILE TRAVELLING EASTBOUND ON WEST GROVER CLEVELAND BOULEVARD IN the AREA OF US HIGHWAY 19, I SAW A BLUE 4-DOOR VEHICLE COMING IN MY DIRECTION AND WAS SLOWING DUE TO HIS TRAFFIC LIGHT BEING RED. AS THE VEHICLE PASSED BY ME I SAW THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE, WHO WAS LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT MR GEORGE SHIVER, CLEARLY DID NOT HAVE HIS SEATBELT ON. I DID NOT SEE THE BELT COMING ACROSS HIS CHEST AND I ALSO SAW THAT THE BUCKLE HANGING in the WINDOW. I WAS ABLE TO GET BEHIND the VEHICLE AND INITIATE A TRAFFIC STOP AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER AT US HIGHWAY 19 AND GROVER CLEVELAND BOULEVARD. I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER, WHO IMMEDIATELY STATED TO ME, I DO NOT HAVE A DRIVER'S LICENSE, ONLY AN IDENTIFICATION CARD and THAT HE KNEW HE DID NOT HAVE HIS SEATBELT ON. I RAN A FCIC/NCIC CHECK CONFIRMING THAT HE HAD BEEN A HABITUAL TRAFFIC OFFENDER SINCE JUNE, 2010 AND THAT THIS LICENSE WAS CURRENTLY REVOKED FOR FIVE YEARS. I ALSO RAN THE DEFENDANT THROUGH the FLORIDA "D.A.V.I.D." SYSTEM, which DID CONFIRM that HE DID NOT HAVE A VALID FLORIDA DRIVERS LICENSE. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN ISSUED A UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION, NUMBER 7374-GJX3, FOR NOT WEARING HIS SEATBELT WHILE OPERATING A MOTOR VEHICLE, WITH A FINE OF $116.00 PAYABLE WITHIN 30 DAYS. HE WAS ALSO ISSUED CRIMINAL CITATION, NUMBER 7375-GJX4, FOR DRIVING WITH his LICENSE SUSPENDED OR REVOKED, HABITUAL TRAFFIC OFFENDER with COURT DATE SET FOR 041411 AT 1300 HOURS. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN PLACED UNDER ARREST AND TRANSPORTED to the CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. HIS BOND WAS SET AT $2,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. A COPY OF HIS CITATIONS WAS PLACED IN HIS PROPERTY AND THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OVER TO the REGISTERED OWNER.
