| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: NORTON, NICHOLAS 0758 (AR 14-11136) (14-94803) DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HER ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: COCAINE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.13(6)(A). DID, KNOWING 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)(B). ON 071114, AT APPROXIMATELY 0038 HOURS, I WAS TRAVELING NORTHBOUND ON HIGHWAY 19 NEAR SOUTHEAST KINGS BAY DRIVE WHEN I OBSERVED A WHITE 2001 VOLKSWAGEN BEARING FLORIDA LICENSE PLATE BUFT41, MAKE A U-TURN AT THE LIGHT AT HIGHWAY 19 AND KINGS BAY DRIVE AND START TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND. I NOTICED THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT ON THE VEHICLE WAS NOT OPERABLE. I THEN CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP ON THE VEHICLE AT THE RACE TRAC LOCATED AT 1030 SOUTHEAST HIGHWAY 19. AS I APPROACHED the VEHICLE, DISPATCH ADVISED THE LICENSE PLATE ON the VEHICLE HAD EXPIRED ON 061814. I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT AND REQUESTED HER DRIVER'S LICENSE, REGISTRATION AND PROOF OF INSURANCE. SHE STATED SHE DID NOT HAVE HER DRIVER'S LICENSE WITH HER. I THEN ASKED IF SHE DID NOT HAVE IT WITH HER OR IF SHE DID NOT HAVE ONE AT ALL, TO WHICH SHE ADVISED IT HAD BEEN REVOKED. I THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF, AT THE END OF MY STOP, SHE WOULD CONSENT TO A SEARCH OF HER VEHICLE, TO WHICH SHE REPLIED SHE WOULD. DEPUTY HRYC/701 THEN RESPONDED TO THE SCENE AND PERFORMED AN EXTERIOR SNIFF OF THE VEHICLE UTILIZING K-9 ZEUS. DEPUTY HRYC ADVISED K-9 ZEUS ALERTED TO THE VEHICLE. AT THAT TIME DEPUTY HRYC AND DEPUTY STOKES BEGAN TO CONDUCT AN INTERIOR HAND SEARCH OF THE VEHICLE. A SHORT TIME LATER, DEPUTY HRYC ADVISED ME HE HAD FOUND A CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE WITH A WHITE POWDERY SUBSTANCE IN A WALLET WHICH HAD BEEN LOCATED WEDGED BETWEEN THE DRIVER SEAT AND THE CENTER CONSOLE. ALSO, LOCATED IN THIS WALLET WAS THE DEFENDANT DRIVER'S LICENSE WHICH SHE PREVIOUSLY STATED SHE DID NOT HAVE ON HER. I THEN RAN THE DEFENDANT DRIVER'S LICENSE THROUGH DRIVER AND VEHICLE INFORMATION DATABASE WHICH ADVISED ME THE DEFENDANTâS DRIVER'S LICENSE HAD BEEN REVOKED ON 082311 FOR DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE. THROUGH MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE, I RECOGNIZED the SUBSTANCE TO BE COCAINE. THE SUBSTANCE WAS FIELD TESTED ON SCENE UTILIZING AN AGENCY ISSUED FIELD TEST, WHICH YIELDED POSITIVE RESULTS. THE BAGGIE AND THE COCAINE WEIGHED .33 GRAMS. DEPUTY HRYC THEN READ THE DEFENDANT HER MIRANDA RIGHTS VIA PREPRINTED AGENCY CARD and ASKED IF SHE UNDERSTOOD HER RIGHTS, TO WHICH SHE REPLIED THAT SHE DID. DEPUTY HRYC THEN ASKED HER IF SHE WISHED TO SPEAK WITH HIM AT THIS TIME, TO WHICH SHE ADVISED THAT SHE DID NOT. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED, (DOUBLE LOCKED), BEHIND THEIR BACK, SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT IN the RACE TRAC PARKING LOT AT THE REQUEST OF THE DEFENDANT. THE DEFENDANT WAS WRITTEN A FLORIDA UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION, CITATION NUMBER A127CMP FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED KNOWINGLY. THE DEFENDANT WAS GIVEN A WRITTEN WARNING, WARNING NUMBER 386267B, FOR HER HEADLIGHT AND THE EXPIRED LICENSE PLATE. THE DEFENDANTâS BOND WAS SET AT $3,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
