| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: HOLTZHOUSE, JONATHAN 0616 (AR09107113) 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 Statute 322.34(2)(a). ON 010909, AT APPROXIMATELY 1250 HOURS, WHILE ON PATROL IN THE AREA OF TURNER CAMP ROAD AND HILLTOP ROAD, I WAS TRAVELING BEHIND A TAN CHEVROLET LUMINA, BEARING FLORIDA TAG A594LU. UPON CONDUCTING A RECORD'S CHECK OF THE LICENSE PLATE, IT WAS REVEALED THAT THE OWNER, MR JAMIE JENKINS, HAD A SUSPENDED DRIVER'S LICENSE MULTIPLE TIMES. AT THIS POINT, I LOST VIEW OF THE VEHICLE AS IT HAD TURNED DOWN A SIDE STREET OFF TURNER CAMP ROAD. APPROXIMATELY FIVE MINUTES LATER, I OBSERVED THE VEHICLE PARKED IN A DRIVEWAY ON HILLTOP ROAD. I ALSO OBSERVED A BLACK MALE SITTING IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT WHO MATCHED THE DRIVER'S LICENSE PHOTO OF THE REGISTERED OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. AT THIS TIME, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE, MR JAMIE JENKINS, AND ADVISED HIM THAT I KNEW HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE HAD BEEN SUSPENDED AND HE SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, AND HE STATED THAT HIS LICENSE HAD NOT BEEN SUSPENDED AND HIS NAME WAS "BOBBY JENKINS.” DUE TO THE FACT I HAD HIS PHOTO ON MY COMPUTER, I ADVISED HIM HE WAS NOT BOBBY JENKINS, AT WHICH TIME, HE NODDED HIS HEAD YES AND ACKNOWLEDGED THAT HIS LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED AND THAT HE WAS WAITING FOR A FRIEND, AND THE FRIEND WOULD BE DRIVING. I THEN LEFT MR JENKINS AND CONTINUED PATROLLING THE AREA OF TURNER CAMP ROAD. APPROXIMATELY TWO TO THREE MINUTES LATER, I OBSERVED MR JENKINS DRIVING HIS CHEVY LUMINA NORTHBOUND ON TURNER CAMP ROAD HEADING TOWARDS TWIN LAKES ROAD. I TURNED MY PATROL VEHICLE AROUND AND ACTIVATED MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS AND CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP AT THE INTERSECTION OF TWIN LAKES ROAD AND TURNER CAMP. I AGAIN MADE CONTACT WITH MR JENKINS AND ASKED HIM IF I HAD NOT ADVISED HIM TO DRIVE HIS VEHICLE, AND HE STATED "YEAH, I KNOW BUT I WAS JUST GOING TO THE HOUSE." I ASKED MR JENKINS HOW MANY TICKETS HAD HE RECEIVED FOR DRIVING ON A SUSPENDED LICENSE, AND HE STATED HE HAD ONLY RECEIVED ONE TICKET. I THEN PLACED MR JENKINS UNDER ARREST FOR DRIVING ON A SUSPENDED DRIVER'S LICENSE WITH KNOWLEDGE. MR JENKINS ASKED IF I COULD TAKE THE KEYS TO HIS VEHICLE AND LEAVE THE VEHICLE PARKED WHERE IT HAD BEEN STOPPED, TO WHICH I COMPLIED. MR JENKINS WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY AND ISSUED UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION 7898-FYK FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED/REVOKED, WITH A COURT DATE ON 012909, AT 1300 HOURS, AT THE CITRUS COUNTY COURTHOUSE. THE DEFENDANT WAS RELEASED ON HIS RECOGNIZANCE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
