| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: MOORE, ANDREW 0619 (AR11123894) DID VIOLATE FLORIDA STATE STATUTE NUMBER 320.261, FOR ATTACHED TAG TO VEHICLE NOT ASSIGNED TO IT; AND DID VIOLATE FLORIDA STATE STATUTE NUMBER 320.02(1), FOR NO MOTOR VEHICLE REGISTRATION/VEHICLE NOT REGISTERED. ON 121111, I WAS TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON WEST MAIN STREET WHEN I OBSERVED A BLACK HONDA 2-DOOR CIVIL BEARING FLORIDA TAG NUMBER D83-PV. I RAN THE TAG THROUGH MY IN-CAR COMPUTER FOR WANTS AND WARRANTS, WHICH REVEALED THAT THE TAG WAS NOT REGISTERED TO ANY VEHICLE, BUT HAD A VALID EXPIRATION. I DOUBLE CHECKED THE TAG ON THE VEHICLE, AT WHICH TIME, I CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP ON WEST MAIN STREET AND SOUTH PINE AVENUE. I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER, WHO PROVIDED ME WITH HIS FLORIDA DRIVER'S LICENSE FOR JAMES FALKENBURG. HE STATED THAT THE HAD NO REGISTRATION FOR THE VEHICLE DUE TO NOT HAVING TIME. HE STATED HIS WIFE TRIED TO A FEW DAYS PRIOR, BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO BECAUSE SHE WAS NOT ON THE REGISTRATION. HE THEN STATED THAT I WAS THE DEPUTY WHO STOPPED HIM LAST MONTH FOR DRIVING AGAINST RESTRICTIONS FOR A BUSINESS PURPOSES ONLY LICENSE. HE STATED THAT HE WAS JUST LEAVING CHURCH AND WAS HEADING TO THE STORE. AT THAT TIME, I VERIFIED THE VEHICLE WAS UNREGISTERED AND THAT THE TAG WAS THE CORRECT TAG. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT AGAIN WHO STATED THAT HE HAD LEFT CHURCH AND WENT TO SONNY'S BARBEQUE TO EAT AND WAS LEAVING THERE TO GO TO THE GROCERY STORE. HE STATED HE WAS TOLD HE COULD ONLY DRIVE TO THOSE PLACES ON HIS BUSINESS PURPOSES ONLY LICENSE, BUT UNDERSTOOD THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS UNREGISTERED AND THE ATTACHED TAG WAS NOT ASSIGNED AND KNEW HE COULD NOT DO THAT. I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT THAT HE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR ATTACHED TAG UNASSIGNED AND UNREGISTERED VEHICLE. HE WAS HANDCUFFED, DOUBLE LOCKED, BEHIND HIS BACK AND SEATED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. HE WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. UPON ARRIVAL, HIS TOTAL BOND WAS SET AT $750.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY ED'S TOWING. THE DEFENDANT WAS ISSUED FLORIDA UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION NUMBER 6060-GQF3, FOR ATTACHED TAG NOT ASSIGNED, CITATION NUMBER 6061-GQF4, FOR UNREGISTERED VEHICLE AND CITATION NUMBER 6062-GQF5, FOR VIOLATION OF DRIVING RESTRICTIONS. ALL THESE CITATIONS HAD A MANDATORY COURT DATE ON 010511 AT 1300 HOURS AT THE CITRUS COUNTY COURTHOUSE.
