| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: JAKOB, RAINER 0670 (AR11120083) DID, KNOWING HIS DRIVER'S 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)(A). ON 040311, I WAS DISPATCHED TO FORT ISLAND BEACH IN CRYSTAL RIVER IN REFERENCE TO A WELLBEING CHECK. DISPATCH ADVISED ME THAT A FAMILY MEMBER WANTED A WELLBEING CHECK. THE FAMILY MEMBER ADVISED THAT THE SUBJECT WOULD BE DRIVING A GOLD DODGE PICKUP TRUCK. WHILE I WAS EN ROUTE TO THE BEACH ON FORT ISLAND TRAIL, I OBSERVED A VEHICLE MATCHING THE DESCRIPTION, TRAVELING EASTBOUND ON FORT ISLAND TRAIL IN FRONT OF THE PLANTATION INN. I TURNED AROUND AND ACTIVATED MY OVERHEAD LIGHTS AND CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP ON THE VEHICLE. I APPROACHED THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND MADE CONTACT WITH MR HARRY WORD, WHO WAS THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE. I ASKED HIM FOR IDENTIFICATION TO VERIFY WHO HE WAS, AND TO SEE IF HE WAS THE SUBJECT I WAS LOOKING FOR REGARDING THE WELLBEING CHECK. HE PRODUCED A FLORIDA IDENTIFICATION CARD AND STATED HE WAS AT THE BEACH WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND, RUBY. HE STATED HE WAS ON HIS WAY BACK TO HIS RESIDENCE. I ASKED MR WORD IF HE HAD A VALID DRIVER'S LICENSE, TO WHICH HE RESPONDED THAT HE DID NOT. HE STATED HIS FLORIDA DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS REVOKED DUE TO MEDICAL CONDITIONS. HE DID ADVISE ME HE WOULD BE GETTING IN CONTACT WITH AN ATTORNEY TO TRY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUES WITH HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE. I WENT BACK TO MY PATROL VEHICLE AND RAN HIS FLORIDA IDENTIFICATION CARD THROUGH D.A.V.I.D., WHICH REVEALED IT TO BE REVOKED. I THEN WENT BACK TO MR WORD'S VEHICLE AND ADVISED HIM HE WAS UNDER ARREST FOR DRIVING ON A REVOKED DRIVER'S LICENSE, WITH KNOWLEDGE. HE WAS HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED), SEARCHED AND PLACED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. HE WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. I ISSUED THE DEFENDANT FLORIDA UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION NUMBER 3714GJX-9, FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE REVOKED WITH KNOWLEDGE. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $500.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. "If you are a person with a disability who needs any accommodation in order to participate in this proceeding, you are entitled, at no cost to you, to the provision of certain assistance.
