SUBMITTED BY: HRYC, CHRISTOPHER 0701 (AR11120674) DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HER ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: ONE 10 MG METHADONE TABLET, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.13(6)(A). (AND) DID, KNOWING her 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 STATE STATUTE 322.34(2)(A). (AND) DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HER ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION WITH THE INTENT TO USE, OR DID UNLAWFULLY USE, AN OBJECT INTENDED OR DESIGNED FOR USE IN STORING, CONCEALING OR INJECTING, INGESTING, INHALING OR OTHERWISE INTRODUCING INTO THE HUMAN BODY, A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: TWO SYRINGES AND A STRAW, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTES 893.145 AND 893.147(1)(B) ON 050911 I WAS DISPATCHED TO A DOMESTIC DISTURBANCE WHICH HAD JUST OCCURRED. WHILE EN ROUTE DISPATCH ADVISED THAT THE SUSPECT HAD LEFT THE SCENE AND WAS AN 18 YEAR OLD WHITE MALE WEARING A BLACK T SHIRT AND BLACK SHORTS. WHILE EN ROUTE I BOLO'D THE AREA AND, LESS THAN A MILE AWAY, I NOTICED A BROWN PICKUP TRUCK WITH A WHITE MALE AROUND THE APPROXIMATE AGE OF 18, WEARING A BLACK TANK TOP AND BLACK SHORTS, SITTING IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK. I ALSO NOTICED THAT the TRUCK DID NOT HAVE A TAILGATE AND THAT IT ALSO HAD SEVERAL ITEMS SUCH AS BUCKETS, TOOLS, AND A LADDER, ALL UNSECURED. THE LADDER WAS ALSO HANGING OFF THE BACK APPROXIMATELY ONE FOOT OVER THE EDGE OF THE BED OF THE TRUCK AND DID NOT HAVE A RED FLAG. I INITIATED A TRAFFIC STOP ON SAID VEHICLE AND MADE CONTACT WITH THE INDIVIDUAL IN THE BACK WHO ENDED UP NOT BEING THE SUSPECT IN THE DOMESTIC INCIDENT. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER, LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT, MS JENNIFER MCKEOWN, IN REFERENCE TO ALL OF THE UNSECURED TOOLS. I ASKED WHY OF THE ITEMS WERE SECURED IN THE BED OF THE VEHICLE AND SHE STATED IT WAS NOT HER TRUCK AND SHE DID NOT KNOW WHY THEY WERE NOT TIED DOWN. I REQUESTED A DRIVER'S LICENSE FROM THE DRIVER/DEFENDANT, AND SHE STATED SHE DID NOT HAVE ONE AND THAT IT WAS SUSPENDED. MS MCKEOWN DID PROVIDE ME WITH HER SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER AND UPON SEARCHING D.A.V.I.D. I NOTICED THAT HER LICENSE HAD BEEN SUSPENDED SINCE 06/20/2006, FOR VIOLATION OF CHAPTER 893 9 (CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE). I THEN NOTICED A BROWN AND WHITE PURSE SITTING NEXT TO THE DEFENDANT. I ASKED IF IT WAS HER PURSE AND IF I COULD SEARCH IT. SHE STATED SHE WOULD SHOW ME EVERYTHING IN IT. SHE THEN STEPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND MADE HER WAY TO THE BED OF THE PICKUP TRUCK AND BEGAN TO REMOVE ITEMS FROM THE PURSE. SHE REMOVED A RED MARLBORO 100'S CIGARETTE PACK AND, AS SHE REMOVED IT, THE BOX CAME OPEN AND I SAW, IN PLAIN VIEW, A SMALL ROUND WHITE PILL AND ONE CIGARETTE. I THEN READ THE DEFENDANT HER MIRANDA WARNING VIA PREPRINTED CARD. SHE STATED SHE UNDERSTOOD HER RIGHTS AND WISHED TO SPEAK WITH ME. I ASKED WHAT THE PILL WAS AND SHE STATED IT WAS METHADONE. I ASKED HER WHERE SHE GOT IT, AND SHE STATED FROM A FRIEND AND THAT SHE DID NOT BUY IT. I ASKED HOW LONG SHE HAS BEEN TAKING PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION WHICH WAS NOT PRESCRIBED TO HER, AND SHE STATED, FOR A LONG TIME. I THEN ASKED HOW SHE TOOK THE PILLS, AND SHE STATED THAT SHE CRUSHED THEM AND SHE RECENTLY HAS BEEN "SHOOTING THEM UP". I ASKED HER IF SHE HAD ANY SYRINGES IN THE PURSE, AND SHE STATED THAT SHE DID, AND THERE WOULD BE TWO OF THEM IN A ZIPPER POUCH, BUT SHE REQUESTED I REMOVE THEM IN AN AREA SO HER SON, WHO WAS THE INDIVIDUAL IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK, WOULD NOT SEE. I THEN HANDCUFFED THE DEFENDANT, PATTED HER DOWN FOR WEAPONS AND CONTRABAND. I FOUND A STRAW IN HER RIGHT FRONT POCKET. I ASKED WHAT IT WAS USED FOR AND SHE STATED TO "SNORT" HER PILLS. I ALSO TOOK THE DEFENDANT'S PURSE AND SECURED THE DEFENDANT IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. I THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF I COULD RETRIEVE THE TWO SYRINGES AND SHE STATED THAT I COULD. LOCATED IN HER PURSE, IN THE ZIPPER POCKET, WERE TWO HYPOTHERMIC NEEDLES WHICH HAD BEEN USED AND STILL HAD RESIDUE INSIDE. I THEN CONTACTED POISON CONTROL AND CONFIRMED THAT THE SMALL ROUND WHITE PILL WHICH HAD MARKINGS OF THE NUMBERS 54 AND 142 ON IT, WAS A 10 MG METHADONE TABLET. I INFORMED THE DEFENDANT SHE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, DRIVING WITH HER LICENSE SUSPENDED, AND ALSO FOR POSSESSION OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY WHERE HER BOND WAS SET AT $6,000.00 per the bond schedule. THE DEFENDANT was also issued criminal traffic citaTion 9315-gjx-x, for driving with her license suspended, with court date of 05/26/11 at 1300 hours. a copy was explained to the defendant and turned in with her property.
