| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: BLOTZ, GEOFFREY 0752 (AR15-16934)(15-138450) 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, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 322.34(2). ON 102215, I WAS DISPATCHED TO THE AREA OF SOUTH LEISURE BOULEVARD AND SOUTH SONGBIRD DRIVE, IN REFERENCE TO A SINGLE VEHICLE TRAFFIC ACCIDENT. UPON ARRIVAL, CONTACT WAS MADE WITH the OPERATOR OF THE MOTOR VEHICLE, MR GEORGE SMITH II. MR SMITH STATED THAT HE WAS TRAVELING DOWN ANOTHER ROAD, AND UPON COMING TO THE TRAFFIC STOP HE REALIZED HE NEEDED TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN TO GET BACK ONTO SOUTH LEISURE BOULEVARD. AT THAT TIME THE DEFENDANT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH RESULTED IN HIM STRIKING A TREE AND ROLLING THE VEHICLE ON ITS LEFT SIDE. the DEFENDANT STATED HE DID NOT HAVE HIS SEATBELT ON AND HAD BUSTED HIS LIP. THE DEFENDANT REFUSED EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES AT THAT TIME. THE DEFENDANT THEN PROVIDED ME WITH A FLORIDA LEARNERS LICENSE AND THEN I ASKED THE DEFENDANT FOR HIS REGISTRATION AND INSURANCE TO THE VEHICLE. AT THAT TIME I RETURNED TO MY PATROL VEHICLE WHERE I RAN THE DEFENDANTâS FLORIDA LEARNERS LICENSE IN DRIVER AND VEHICLE DATABASE SYSTEM (DAVID), WHICH STATED HE WAS SUSPENDED. I THEN RAN THE DEFENDANT THROUGH FCIC/NCIC, WHICH SHOWED THE DEFENDANT TO BE SUSPENDED FOR FAILURE TO PAY A TRAFFIC CITATION. ON 070714 THE LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY FOR FAILURE TO PAY TRAFFIC FINE. ON 072114 IT WAS SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY FOR FAILURE TO PAY TRAFFIC FINE, AND ALSO ON 082515 IT WAS SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY FOR Failure to pay traffic fine. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT AND QUESTIONED HIM ABOUT HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE. the DEFENDANT STATED THAT HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED DUE TO HIM NOT BEING ABLE TO PAY THE TRAFFIC FINES. THE DEFENDANT STATED HE WAS UNABLE TO PAY THE TRAFFIC FINES DUE TO HIS TRANSMISSION BLOWING UP IN HIS TRUCK and AFTER PAYING FOR HIS TRANSMISSION HE DID NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO PAY FOR HIS TRAFFIC TICKET. I THEN READ the RESTRICTIONS ON THE BACK OF THE DEFENDANTâS LEARNERS LICENSE WHICH IT STATED THAT THERE WAS DAYLIGHT DRIVING ONLY AND AFTER THREE MONTHS HE MAY DRIVE UNTIL 2200 HOURS WITH 21 YEARS OLD OR OLDER LICENSED DRIVER IN the CLOSEST SEAT RIGHT OF THE DRIVER, NO MOTORCYCLE OR MOPED OPERATION. THE DEFENDANT STATED HE WAS AWARE OF HIS RESTRICTIONS. at that time i advised the DEFENDANT he was under arrest for DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED knowingly. the DEFENDANT was PLACED in HANDCUFFS (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND THE BACK AND placed in the rear of my patrol VEHICLE. at that time MIRANDA was read via card. the DEFENDANT once again stated that he was aware his LICENSE was suspended and was attempting to try to get it fixed. DAVEâS auto body then arrived on scene where the VEHICLE was towed to their tow YARD AND a VEHICLE storage receipt was completed. the DEFENDANT was then TRANSPORTED to the CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. the DEFENDANT was issued FLORIDA UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION a1p2qvp. the DEFENDANT was issued a case card in REFERENCE to his traffic accident. the DEFENDANTâs bond was set at $1,000.00, per the bond schedule. |
