| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: WEATHERFORD, DAVID 0710 (2012-838AR) did knowingly, willfully and feloniously be in the actual or constructive possession of a controlled substance, to-wit: LORAZEPAM (8 PILLS), A SCHEDULE 4 CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, in violation of Florida Statutes 893.13(6)(A). ON 042111, I WAS HEADING NORTHBOUND ON HIGHWAY 19 IN THE AREA OF WEST FORT ISLAND TRAIL WHEN I OBSERVED A SILVER IN COLOR, 4-DOOR VEHICLE TRAVELING NORTHBOUND ON HIGHWAY 19 IN THE INSIDE LANE. AT THAT TIME, the SILVER VEHICLE BEARING TAG NUMBER 403-XRI ATTEMPTED TO CHANGE LANES INTO the CENTER LANE WITHOUT USING A BLINKER CAUSING THE 4-DOOR SEDAN THAT WAS TRAVELLING NORTHBOUND in the CENTER LANE TO SWERVE INTO the OUTSIDE LANE TO AVOID A COLLISION. AT THAT TIME, I INITIATED MY OVERHEAD LIGHTS and ATTEMPTED TO PULL the SILVER VEHICLE OVER. THE VEHICLE THEN PULLED OVER TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF the ROAD ON US HIGHWAY 19 AND 8TH TERRACE IN CRYSTAL RIVER. UPON APPROACHING THE VEHICLE, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER/DEFENDANT, IDENTIFIED AS MS JEANIE ROGERS. UPON MAKING INITIAL CONTACT WITH MS ROGERS I DETECTED A STRONG ODOR OF AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE EMITTING FROM HER PERSON AND OBSERVED HER EYES TO BE GLASSY. UPON ADVISING MS ROGERS THE REASON FOR the STOP SHE ADVISED THAT she DID NOT KNOW WHERE she WAS GOING and WAS EXTREMELY TIRED. WHEN I ASKED MS ROGERS IF SHE HAD ANYTHING TO DRINK SHE AT FIRST ADVISED SHE HAD NOT HAD ANYTHING TO DRINK and HAD BEEN CLEANING OUT HER DECEASED FATHERâS RESIDENCE IN HOMOSASSA. WHEN I ADVISED MS ROGERS THAT I COULD DETECT AN ODOR OF ALCOHOL SHE ADVISED she DID HAVE ONE GLASS OF WINE APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES PRIOR TO MY TRAFFIC STOP. I THEN RETURNED TO MY PATROL VEHICLE AND RAN MS ROGERS THROUGH NCIC/FCIC WHICH REVEALED NO WANTS OR WARRANTS. UPON RESPONDING BACK TO THE VEHICLE, I ADVISED MS ROGERS I WAS GIVING HER A WRITTEN WARNING FOR IMPROPER LANE CHANGE. I ASKED MS ROGERS TO STEP OUT OF the VEHICLE SO THAT I COULD PERFORM FIELD SOBRIETY TASKS TO DETERMINE IF SHE WAS FIT TO DRIVE. UPON COMPLETING THE FIELD SOBRIETY TASKS, I DETERMINED MS ROGERS WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE AND WAS UNDER the INFLUENCE. MS ROGERS ADVISED THAT she COULD CALL HER BROTHER TO COME GET HER AND I ALLOWED HER TO DO SO. WHILE STANDING WITH MS ROGERS WAITING FOR HER RIDE I ASKED HER IF SHE WOULD MIND IF I SEARCHED HER VEHICLE, TO WHICH she GAVE ME PERMISSION TO SEARCH the INTERIOR OF HER VEHICLE. UPON SEARCHING MS ROGERSâ PURSE I DISCOVERED A PRESCRIPTION BOTTLE PRESCRIBED TO RICHARD GIANDONATO FOR LORAZEPAM 1 MILLIGRAM IN HER PURSE CONTAINING 8 SMALL PILLS, WHICH WAS LATER CONFIRMED THROUGH POISON CONTROL AS LORAZEPAM. I ASKED MS ROGERS WHERE THE PRESCRIPTION CAME FROM, TO WHICH SHE ADVISED SHE HAD GOTTEN IT FROM her FATHERâS RESIDENCE and the PILLS BELONGED TO HER DECEASED FATHER AND that she WAS THROWING THEM AWAY. I ASKED IF HER FATHER TOOK ANY OTHER MEDICATION, TO WHICH SHE ADVISED HE DOES. WHEN I ASKED WHERE THOSE PRESCRIPTIONS WERE SHE ADVISED she HAD THROWN THEM AWAY AT HIS RESIDENCE. I ASKED MS ROGERS WHY SHE HAD CHOSE TO TAKE THE LORAZEPAM AND PUT THEM INSIDE HER PURSE. SHE ADVISED SHE WAS GOING TO TAKE IT TO HER HOTEL ROOM AT THE DAYS INN AND DISCARD THE PILLS THERE. MS ROGERS WAS ADVISED that she WAS GOING TO BE PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR POSSESSION OF A SCHEDULE FOUR CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, LORAZEPAM. THE DEFENDANT WAS HANDCUFFED, DOUBLE LOCKED, BEHIND HER BACK AND SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. SHE WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY JAIL FOR BOOKING. OTHER DEPUTIES ON SCENE STOOD BY WITH MS ROGERSâ VEHICLE AND TURNED HER VEHICLE, AS WELL AS HER PROPERTY, OVER TO A RELATIVE. THE BOTTLE CONTAINED 8 LORAZEPAM PILLS THAT WAS CONFIRMED THROUGH POISON CONTROL AS A SCHEDULE FOUR CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE. THE DEFENDANTâS BOND WAS SET AT $5,000.00, PER the BOND SCHEDULE and THE PILLS WERE LATER TURNED IN TO EVIDENCE. |
