ON 021513, AT APPROXIMATELY 2330 HOURS, WHILE TRAVELING EAST ON WEST MANGO LANE, I OBSERVED A BLACK IN COLOR SUV TRAVELING IN FRONT OF ME. UPON REACHING THE STOP SIGN OF WEST MANGO LANE AND SOUTH ROCK CRUSHER ROAD, I OBSERVED THE VEHICLE TO ROLL TO A SLOWER SPEED THROUGH THE STOP SIGN OF THE INTERSECTION, AND EXECUTE A RIGHT HAND TURN WITHOUT USING A TURN SIGNAL. THE VEHICLE THEN HEADED SOUTH ON SOUTH ROCK RUSHER ROAD. I ALSO OBSERVED THE VEHICLE TO APPEAR TO HAVE DARKER THAN LEGAL WINDOW TINT. I THEN ACTIVATED MY OVERHEAD EMERGENCY LIGHTS AND INITIATED A TRAFFIC STOP ON THIS BLACK IN COLOR VEHICLE, BEARING FLORIDA LICENSE PLATE KRZKING. THE VEHICLE THEN PULLED OFF OF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT THE INTERSECTION OF SOUTH ROCK CRUSHER ROAD, AND WEST VENABLE STREET. I THEN APPROACHED THE VEHICLEâS DRIVERâS SIDE DOOR, MAKING CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE, LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT, MR JASON ANTON KING. I OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT TO BE EXTREMELY FIDGETY. I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT OF THE REASON FOR THE TRAFFIC STOP, AND I THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT TO PROVIDE ME WITH HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE, PROOF OF INSURANCE AND VEHICLE REGISTRATION. THE DEFENDANT THEN COMPLIED AND PROVIDED ME WITH THESE. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED THAT HE UNDERSTOOD THE REASON FOR THE TRAFFIC STOP, AND THAT HE HAD JUST CUT THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD ON HIS WAY HOME FROM WORK AND HE HAD BEEN IN A HURRY. K9 DEPUTY HRYC THEN RESPONDED TO THE SCENE AS BACKUP. I THEN RESPONDED BACK TO MY VEHICLE, AND RAN THE DEFENDANTâS INFORMATION THROUGH FCIC/NCIC, WHICH WAS MET WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS FOR WANTS AND WARRANTS. I THEN RETURNED TO THE DEFENDANTâS VEHICLE, AT WHICH TIME DEPUTY HRYC HAD RETRIEVED HIS CANINE PARTNER, ZEUS, FROM his VEHICLE. DEPUTY HRYC THEN COMPLETED AN EXTERIOR SNIFF OF THE VEHICLE UTILIZING HIS CANINE. DEPUTY HRYC THEN ADVISED THAT THE CANINE HAD ALERTED TO THE VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT THEN GREW EXTREMELY AGITATED UPON HEARING THIS, AND STATED THAT HE HAD DONE NOTHING WRONG AND HAD NO IDEA WHY THE CANINE HAD ALERTED. I EXPLAINED TO THE DEFENDANT, THAT DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE CANINE HAD ALERTED TO HIS VEHICLE, THIS PROVIDED LAW ENFORCEMENT PROBABLE CAUSE TO SEARCH HIS VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT THEN COMPLIED AND EXITED THE VEHICLE. I STOOD NEAR THE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE WITH THE DEFENDANT, WHILE DEPUTY HRYC SEARCHED THE INTERIOR OF THE DEFENDANTâS VEHICLE. DEPUTY HRYC THEN ADVISED THAT HE HAD LOCATED PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION WHICH WAS NOT IN A PRESCRIPTION PILL BOTTLE, BUT IN A METAL CONTAINER. THIS PILL WAS BLUE IN COLOR, AND HAD âALG 265â ON THE OUTSIDE. DEPUTY HRYC LATER SEARCHED THIS INFORMATION AND IDENTIFIED THE PILL AS A 30 MILLIGRAM OXYCODONE. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN READ HIS MIRANDA RIGHTS, VIA A PRE PRINTED AGENCY ISSUED CARD, AT WHICH POINT HE ADVISED THAT HE DID UNDERSTAND HIS RIGHTS AND WISHED TO SPEAK WITH US AT THIS TIME. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE WAS PRESCRIBED THIS MEDICATION, AND THE DEFENDANT ADVISED THAT HE THOUGHT HE HAD A PRESCRIPTION FOR IT BUT WAS UNSURE. THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT HE WAS ON APPROXIMATELY FIVE DIFFERENT TYPES OF NARCOTIC MEDICATIONS, AND THAT HE HAS HIS PRESCRIPTIONS FILLED AT VARIOUS PHARMACIES BETWEEN THE ORLANDO AREA AND HOMOSASSA. THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT HE WAS UNSURE WHERE THIS ONE PILL HAD COME FROM. DEPUTY HRYC OBSERVED THAT THE DEFENDANTâS WALLET WAS SITTING ON THE FRONT HOOD OF MY VEHICLE. HE ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF THAT WAS HIS WALLET, AND THE DEFENDANT ADVISED THAT IT WAS. UPON OPENING THE DEFENDANTâS WALLET, A CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE WAS FOUND IN THE MIDDLE COMPARTMENT. IN THIS CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE WERE FOUND FOUR SMALLER BLUE BAGGIES. THREE OF THESE BAGGIES CONTAINED A SUBSTANCE WHICH APPEARED TO BE METHAMPHETAMINE, AND ONE CONTAINED A SUBSTANCE WHICH APPEARED TO BE CANNABIS. BOTH BAGS WERE FIELD TESTED, AND ONE WAS FOUND TO YIELD A POSITIVE RESULT FOR THE PRESENCE OF METHAMPHETAMINE AND THE OTHER A POSITIVE RESULT FOR THE PRESENCE OF CANNABIS THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN ADVISED that HE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR POSSESSION OF A CONTROL SUBSTANCE, AND POSSESSION OF LESS THAN TWENTY GRAMS OF CANNABIS. HE WAS HANDCUFFED, DOUBLE LOCKED BEHIND HIS BACK, AND SEARCHED FOR WEAPONS AND CONTRABAND, WHICH WAS MET WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS.
