| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: NORTON, NICK (AR14-9639) DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HIS/HER ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: CRACK COCAINE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.13(6)(A). ON 032514, AT APPROXIMATELY 1957 HOURS, DEPUTY RICHEY CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP ON A 1992 CHEVROLET PICKUP BEARING FLORIDA LICENSE PLATE 140NKZ. THE TRAFFIC STOP WAS CONDUCTED AT THE INTERSECTION OF NORTH TURKEY OAK DRIVE AND WEST BALLOON LANE FOR THE VEHICLE NOT STOPPING AT THE STOP SIGN AT THE INTERSECTION OF WEST BALLOON LANE AND CARLEEN TERRACE. I ARRIVED ON SCENE SHORTLY AFTER, WHERE DEPUTY RICHEY ADVISED ME THAT HE HAD RECEIVED CONSENT TO SEARCH THE VEHICLE. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER, MR DONALD STRICKLAND, WHO ALSO ADVISED ME THAT I COULD SEARCH THE VEHICLE WHILE DEPUTY RICHEY MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT, MR JAMES EDWARD BROWN. DEPUTY RICHEY ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE HAD ANYTHING IN HIS MOUTH AND REPEATEDLY ASKED THE DEFENDANT TO HOLD UP HIS TONGUE. THE DEFENDANT WAS AT FIRST UNCOOPERATIVE WITH THESE REQUESTS, BUT EVENTUALLY LIFTED UP HIS TONGUE AND WE COULD NOT TELL IF HE SWALLOWED ANYTHING. AT THIS TIME, THE DRIVER STATED TO ME THAT THE DEFENDANTâS MOUTH WAS PROBABLY FULL BECAUSE OF THE BEEF JERKY THAT HE WAS EATING AND POINTED TO AN OPEN PACKAGE OF BEEF JERKY ON THE DEFENDANTâS SEAT. UPON OBSERVING THE BEEF JERKY, I LOCATED MULTIPLE pieces OF A HARD WHITE SUBSTANCE THAT THROUGH MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE I RECOGNIZED AS CRACK COCAINE. I THEN CONTINUED TO SEARCH THE REST OF THE VEHICLE AND LOCATED ONE MORE SMALL piece OF CRACK COCAINE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BOARD, WHICH WAS WHERE THE DEFENDANT HAD BEEN SITTING. THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY FOUR pieces OF CRACK COCAINE , WITH A TOTAL WEIGHT OF APPROXIMATELY .6 GRAMS. THE CRACK COCAINE WAS FIELD TESTED ON SCENE, WHICH YIELDED A POSITIVE RESULT FOR CRACK COCAINE. IT WAS LATER TURNED INTO EVIDENCE BY THIS DEPUTY. DEPUTY RICHEY PLACED THE ALREADY HANDCUFFED DEFENDANT IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. AT THIS TIME, DEPUTY RICHEY THEN READ THE DEFENDANT MIRANDA RIGHTS VIA PREPRINTED AGENCY CARD AND THE DEFENDANT ADVISED THAT HE DID NOT WISH TO SPEAK WITH US. WHILE EN ROUTE TO THE COUNTY JAIL, THE DEFENDANT REPEATEDLY STATED THAT THE COCAINE WAS NOT HIS. HE STATED THAT IT BELONGED TO WHOMEVER WAS IN THE VEHICLE BEFORE HIM AND HE PUT IT IN HIS MOUTH TO TRY AND HIDE IT. HE THEN STATED THAT HE SPIT IT IN TO THE BEEF JERKY PACKAGE IN AN ATTEMPT CONCEAL IT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER. ALL OF THE DEFENDANTâS STATEMENTS WERE UNSOLICITED BY THIS DEPUTY. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE JAIL, THE DEFENDANT WAS TURNED OVER TO THE DETENTION FACILITY STAFF FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING, WHERE HE WAS CHARGED WITH ONE COUNT OF POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, WITH A BOND SET AT $5,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. DEPUTY RICHEY ISSUED THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION NUMBER 3749GZP8, FOR THE TRAFFIC INFRACTION. |
