| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED By: SMITH, STEVE 0292 (AR15-16614) PARSONS, TRAVIS 0358 ON 092915, A LAWFUL SEARCH WARRANT WAS EXECUTED AT 4 JAMES STREET IN BEVERLY HILLS. UPON ARRIVAL, CONTACT WAS MADE WITH THE OCCUPANTS WHO WERE TAKEN INTO CUSTODY. AFTER THE FOUR DEFENDANTS WERE TAKEN INTO CUSTODY, THE SEARCH WARRANT WAS READ TO THEM, AND A THOROUGH SEARCH OF THE RESIDENCE WAS CONDUCTED. WHILE THE SEARCH WAS BEING CONDUCTED, I CONDUCTED INTERVIEWS WITH THE FOUR DEFENDANTS. I FIRST MADE CONTACT WITH DEFENDANT JASON CALLAHAN, WHO ADVISED THAT HE DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING, AND IF WE FOUND SOMETHING, HE GUESSED HE WOULD GO TO JAIL. DEFENDANT CALLAHAN STATED HE DID NOT WANT TO SPEAK WITH US AND REQUESTED AN ATTORNEY. I THEN CONDUCTED AN INTERVIEW WITH DEFENDANT CRYSTAL HILL, WHO WAS READ MIRANDA FROM A PRE- PRINTED AGENCY CARD. SHE WAS THEN ASKED IF SHE UNDERSTOOD HER RIGHTS AND WANTED TO SPEAK WITH THIS DETECTIVE, TO WHICH SHE STATED YES. DEFENDANT HILL ADVISED THAT SHE DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ANY MANUFACTURING OCCURRING AT THE RESIDENCE, HOWEVER, SHE CONFESSED TO USING METHAMPHETAMINE. SHE FURTHER STATED THAT WE WOULD FIND BAGGIES AND DRUG PARAPHERNALIA IN HER ROOM, ALONG WITH AN ââALEVEââ BOTTLE ON HER DRESSER CONTAINING A XANEX THAT SHE GOT FROM SOMEONE AT WORK. AT THAT TIME, I CONDUCTED AN INTERVIEW WITH DEFENDANT CHRISTOPHER ELLISON, STATED HE WAS PRESENTLY DATING DEFENDANT CRYSTAL HILL. HE WAS READ MIRANDA VIA AN AGENCY PRE-PRINTED CARD AND WAS ASKED IF HE UNDERSTOOD HIS RIGHTS AND WOULD SPEAK WITH THIS DETECTIVE, TO WHICH HE REPLIED YES. HE STATED HE HAD ONLY STAYED AT THE RESIDENCE SEVERAL TIMES AND DOES NOT USE METHAMPHETAMINE. HOWEVER, HE CONFESSED THAT WE WOULD FIND CANNABIS IN HIS VEHICLE, WHICH HE DESCRIBED AS A GOLD COLORED BUICK BEARING FLORIDA TAG, 8884BB, AND PARKED in the DRIVEWAY OF THE RESIDENCE. HE ALSO ADVISED THAT HE DID KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ANY DRUG MANUFACTURING OCCURRING AT THE RESIDENCE, AND DEFENDANT HILLS JUST TOLD HIM THAT SHE HAD A PROBLEM. I THEN CONDUCTED A DIGITAL INTERVIEW WITH DEFENDANT GEORGIA TROMBLEY. DEFENDANT TROMBLEY WAS READ MIRANDA RIGHTS FROM A PRE-PRINTED AGENCY CARD. SHE ADVISED THAT SHE UNDERSTOOD HER RIGHTS AND AGREED TO SPEAK WITH THIS DETECTIVE. SHE ADVISED THAT SHE HAS BEEN LIVING AT THE RESIDENCE FOR APPROXIMATELY THREE (3) MONTHS, AND DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ANY DRUG MANUFACTURING OCCURRING AT THE RESIDENCE. HOWEVER, SHE ADMITTED TO USING METHAMPHETAMINE. WHEN ASKED HOW SHE USED IT, SHE STATED THAT SHE SMOKES IT, AND WE WOULD LOCATE METHAMPHETAMINE PIPES IN HER PURSE AND HER UNDERWEAR DRAWER. UPON COMPLETING THE INTERVIEWS, I MADE CONTACT WITH UNIT MEMBERS WHO CONDUCTED A SEARCH DEFENDANT ELLISONâS VEHICLE AND THE RESIDENCE IN WHICH THE FOLLOWING ITEMS WERE LOCATED: NUMEROUS BAGGIES TESTING POSITIVE FOR COCAINE AND METHAMPHETAMINE; NUMEROUS METHAMPHETAMINE PIPES AND A GREEN COLORED BAGGIE CONTAINING METHAMPHETAMINE. LOCATED ON DEFENDANT HILLâS DRESSER WAS LOCATED AN ALEVE BOTTLE CONTAINING ONE PILL IDENTIFIED BY DETECTIVE RUBY AS A XANEX PILL. LOCATED IN DEFENDANT CALLAHANâS ROOM WERE TWO METHAMPHETAMINE PIPES AND A SMALL BAGGIE CONTAINING A SMALL QUANTITY OF METHAMPHETAMINE. IN DEFENDANT TROMBLEYS ROOM WERE THE TWO METHAMPHETAMINE PIPES SHE HAD CONFESSED TO IN HER STATEMENT, WITH ONE FOUND IN HER DRESSER DRAWER AND ONE FOUND IN HER PURSE. A SEARCH OF THE 2003 GOLD COLORED BUICK BEARING FLORIDA TAG, 8884BB, RESULTED IN THE RECOVERY OF THE CANNABIS AND A GRINDER (WHICH DEFENDANT ELLISON HAD CONFESSED TO. UPON CONCLUSION OF THE SEARCH, DEFENDANTS CALLAHAN AND HILL WERE TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY WITHOUT INCIDENT. DEFENDANT CALLAHANâS BOND WAS SET AT $3,000.00 AND DEFENDANT HILLâS BOND WAS SET AT $5,000.00.
