| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: BRIGGS, RICHARD 0089 (AR09010390) DID DRIVE OR WAS IN ACTUAL PHYSICAL CONTROL OF A VEHICLE WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE, MODEL GLUE OR ANY SUBSTANCE CONTROLLED UNDER CHAPTER 893 OR CHAPTER 877.111 TO THE EXTENT HIS/HER NORMAL FACULTIES WERE IMPAIRED, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 316.193. ON 011009 AT APPROXIMATELY 2346 HOURS, I ARRIVED IN the AREA OF HIGHWAY 44 WEST AND INDEPENDENCE HIGHWAY, IN REFERENCE TO A VEHICLE CRASH. UPON ARRIVAL, CONTACT WAS MADE with the DEFENDANT, MR JAMES STCLAIR II, WHO WAS OPERATING A 2001 BMW. THE DEFENDANT HAD A STRONG ODOR OF AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE EMITTING FROM HIS PERSON. THE DEFENDANT'S EYES WERE BLOOD SHOT, HIS SPEECH WAS SLURRED, AND HE WAS VERY UNBALANCED. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT WHAT HAD happened, and HE STATED THAT HE WAS TRAVELING WESTBOUND AT AN UNKNOWN RATE OF SPEED AND THEN HE DID NOT REMEMBER ANYTHING PAST THAT. AFTER RECEIVING THAT INFORMATION, I THEN CONTACTED THE VICTIM IN the SECOND VEHICLE WHICH WAS A 1997 CHEVROLET S10 PICKUP. THE VICTIM STATED THAT SHE WAS SITTING IN the LEFT HAND LANE WAITING FOR THE TRAFFIC LIGHT IN the AREA OF 44 WEST AND INDEPENDENCE HIGHWAY, WHEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN she WAS REAR ENDED BY THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE. THE VICTIM STATED THAT SHE HAD NO INJURIES. I THEN AGAIN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT AND ADVISED HIM THAT I WAS CONCLUDING MY TRAFFIC CRASH INVESTIGATION AND WAS THEN CONDUCTING A CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION FOR DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE (DUI). THE DEFENDANT WAS VERY UNSTEADY ON his FEET WHILE SPEAKING TO HIM. HE WAS VERY BELLIGERENT, AND WHEN I ASKED THE DEFENDANT TO WALK TO THE FRONT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE, HE REFUSED TO DO SO. I THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE would SUBMIT TO ANY FIELD SOBRIETY TASKS AND ALL HE WANTED TO DO WAS GET IN HIS CAR, DRIVE IT HOME AND GO TO BED. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR DUI. HE WAS READ HIS IMPLIED CONSENT VIA CARD, AND I REQUESTED HIM TO SUBMIT TO THE APPROVED TEST OF HIS BREATH TO DETERMINE THE ALCOHOL CONTENT OF HIS BLOOD, AT WHICH TIME HE REFUSED TO DO SO. THE DEFENDANT WAS ALSO READ HIS MIRANDA VIA CARD, AT WHICH TIME HE ADVISED ME HE WAS NOT TALKING TO ME ANYMORE. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY WHERE HE REFUSED TO SUBMIT TO the APPROVED TEST OF HIS BREATH. A REFUSAL FORM WAS COMPLETED BY the INTOXILYZER OPERATOR AND the DEFENDANT WAS CHARGED WITH DUI. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $1,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE DEFENDANT WAS ISSUED A FLORIDA DUI CITATION, CITATION NUMBER 7247XADX WITH A MANDATORY COURT APPEARANCE ON 012909 AT 1300 HOURS, AT THE CITRUS COUNTY COURT HOUSE. HE WAS ALSO ISSUED A CITATION, CITATION NUMBER 9502FIQ9 FOR CARELESS DRIVING WITH A $141.00 FINE PAYABLE IN 30 DAYS. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
