| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: CLARK, CORRY 0711 (AR12-3203) (12-184812) DID, KNOWING HIS/her DRIVERâS 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). ON 101812 AT APPROXIMATELY 1447 HOURS, I RESPONDED TO VANNESS AUTO PARTS SHOP LOCATED ON NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE NEAR VANNESS ROAD IN HERNANDO, TO ASSIST DEPUTY WILSON ON A TRAFFIC STOP. UPON MAKING CONTACT WITH DEPUTY WILSON, HE ADVISED ME THAT THE DRIVER/DEFENDANT, MS JENNIFER SMITH, HAD A SUSPENDED DRIVERâS LICENSE AND SHE ADMITTED TO KNOWING THAT HER LICENSE HAD BEEN SUSPENDED. DEPUTY WILSON ALSO ADVISED ME THAT HE WAS ABLE TO POSITIVELY IDENTIFY THE DEFENDANT AS THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE, AND THAT SHE HAD A SUSPENDED DRIVER'S LICENSE. SEE DEPUTY WILSONâS SUPPLEMENT FOR FURTHER. AT THAT TIME, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT, WHO WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVERâS SEAT OF THE VEHICLE; SHE WAS ALSO THE ONLY OCCUPANT OF THE VEHICLE. I ASKED HER IF SHE KNEW WHY SHE HAD BEEN PULLED OVER AND SHE STATED NO, HOWEVER SHE DID KNOW THAT HER DRIVER'S LICENSE HAD BEEN SUSPENDED. I THEN READ THE DEFENDANT HER MIRANDA RIGHTS VIA PREPRINTED AGENCY CARD AND ASKED IF SHE UNDERSTOOD HER RIGHTS AND SHE ADVISED THAT SHE DID AND THAT SHE WOULD SPEAK WITH ME. I THEN ASKED HER AGAIN IF SHE KNEW THAT HER DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED, AND SHE FURTHER STATED THAT IT HAD BEEN SUSPENDED ON 091111 FOR DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE. THE DEFENDANT ALSO ADVISED THAT SHE WAS ON HER WAY TO PICK UP HER SON. I THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF SHE HAD DRIVEN PREVIOUSLY, KNOWING THAT HER DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED AND SHE STATED YES. WHILE ON SCENE, THE FLORIDA IDENTIFICATION CARD FOR THE DEFENDANT WAS LOCATED. I RAN THE DEFENDANT THROUGH FCIC/NCIC, WHICH CONFIRMED THAT THE DEFENDANTâS DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS NOT VALID. HER DRIVER'S LICENSE HAD BEEN SUSPENDED FOR SIX MONTH AS OF 091011 FOR DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE. HER DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS CANCELLED ON 111411 FOR EXPIRED DRIVER'S LICENSE. THE DEFENDANT DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS ALSO REVOKED FOR180 DAYS ON 100411 FOR DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE. ON 120211HER DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED FOR NON-JUDGMENT SUSPENSION. THE DEFENDANT THEN MADE CONTACT WITH A FRIEND AND ARRANGED FOR A FRIEND TO PICK UP HER VEHICLE, WHICH I THEN LEFT ON SCENE. AT THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED (KNOWINGLY). THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN HANDCUFFED, (DOUBLE LOCKED), BEHIND HER BACK, SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. SHE WAS ALSO ISSUED FLORIDA UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION 5673-GQFX, FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED WITH A COURT DATE 110112 AT1300 HOURS, AT THE CITRUS COUNTY COURTHOUSE LOCATED AT 110 NORTH APOPKA AVENUE IN INVERNESS, AT WHICH TIME THE DEFENDANT SIGNED THE CITATION AND A COPY WAS TURNED OVER TO CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $500.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
