| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: LYNN, KURT 0349 (AR08102577) ON 040708 AT APPROXIMATELY 1837 HOURS, I OBSERVED A BLACK CHEVROLET S-10 PICKUP TRUCK WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN FROM MAIN STREET ON TO MONTGOMERY. THE LIGHT WAS GREEN AND WHEN THERE WAS A BREAK IN TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED QUICKLY, SPINNING HIS TIRES AND LEAVING APPROXIMATELY TWENTY TO TWENTY-FIVE FEET OF TREAD MARKS AND SMOKE. AT THAT TIME, I PERFORMED A TRAFFIC STOP ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STOPPED FOR THIS DEPUTY AT MONTGOMERY AND STADIUM ROAD. UPON APPROACHING THE DRIVER, LATER IDENTIFIED AS MR JASON M ZIEGLER, I ASKED FOR HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE AND THE VEHICLE REGISTRATION. THE DRIVER COULD NOT PROVIDE A VALID DRIVER'S LICENSE BUT DID PROVIDE THE VEHICLE REGISTRATION. HE WAS LATER POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED BY HIS PHOTOGRAPH THROUGH THE D.A.V.I.D. SYSTEM. THE DRIVER WAS VERY UNCOORDINATED, SMELLED OF BEER AND HAD BLOODSHOT, WATERY EYES. HE WAS ASKED HOW MANY BEERS HE HAD TO DRINK DURING THE AFTERNOON, TO WHICH HE ANSWERED "A FEW." AT THAT TIME, HE WAS ASKED TO STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO COMPLETE FIELD SOBRIETY TASKS. THE DRIVER HAD PROBLEMS FOLLOWING SIMPLY direction AND DISPLAYED POOR BALANCE. THE FIRST TASK WAS HORIZONTAL GAZE NYSTAGMUS, TO WHICH THE DRIVER DISPLAYED MODERATE NYSTAGMUS AND THE LACK OF THE ABILITY OF SMOOTH PURSUIT IN BOTH HIS LEFT AND RIGHT EYES. THE NEXT TASK WAS WALK AND TURN TASK WHICH WAS EXPLAINED AND DEMONSTRATED TO THE DRIVER PRY TO HIM PERFORMING THE TASK. THE DRIVER LOST BALANCE DURING INSTRUCTIONS, STOPPED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE WALKING, RAISED HIS ARMS MORE THAN SIX INCHES FOR BALANCE, FAILED TO COUNT HIS STEPS OUT LOUD DURING THE TASK AND PERFORMED AN INCORRECT TURN, SPINNING ON ONE FOOT. THE NEXT TASK WAS THE ONE LEG STAND TASK WHICH WAS EXPLAINED AND DEMONSTRATED TO THE DRIVER PRIOR TO HIM PERFORMING THE TASK. AGAIN, HE LOST BALANCE DURING INSTRUCTIONS, RAISED HIS ARMS MORE THAN SIX INCHES FOR BALANCE AND FAILED TO COUNT OUT LOUD DURING THE TASK, SETTING HIS FOOT DOWN SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE TASK. THE DRIVER COULD NOT PERFORM THE TASK AND ALMOST FELL OVER TWICE. THE LAST TASK WAS THE FINGER TO NOSE TASK WHICH WAS EXPLAINED AND DEMONSTRATED TO THE DRIVER PRIOR TO HIM PERFORMING THE TASK. THE DRIVER DID NOT KEEP HIS EYES CLOSED AND MISSED THE TIP OF HIS NOSE WITH HIS INDEX FINGER ON ALL ATTEMPTS, TOUCHING ONLY HIS UPPER LIP AND CHEEKS. AT THAT TIME, THIS DEPUTY COMPLETED FIELD SOBRIETY TASKS AND ADVISED THE DRIVER HE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE (DUI.) THE DRIVER WAS COMPLIANT AND POLITE AND READILY ACCEPTED MIRANDA AND IMPLIED CONSENT TO BE READ TO HIM AT THE SCENE. THE DRIVER DID STATE TO THIS DEPUTY THAT HE WAS SORRY AND ASKED FOR HELP, SAYING THAT HE HAD A DRUG AND ALCOHOL PROBLEM AND NEEDED TO GET IT FIXED. PRIOR TO LEAVING THE SCENE, THE DRIVER'S VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY SCALLY'S. THE DRIVER WAS PLACED IN HAND RESTRAINTS (DOUBLE LOCKED) AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR INTOXILYZER TESTING. THE DRIVER REFUSED TO SUBMIT TO THE LAWFUL TEST OF HIS BREATH FOR THE PURPOSE OF DETERMINING THE ALCOHOL CONTENT OF HIS BLOOD. THE DRIVER WAS ISSUED UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION 1027-RHV, FOR IMPROPER START/TURN AND FLORIDA DUI UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION 4293-XDX, FOR DUI. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
