ON 100209, WHILE I RUNNING STATIONARY RADAR ON CRYSTAL STREET IN THE SCHOOL ZONE, I OBSERVED A GREY VEHICLE APPROACH ME AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I VISUALLY ESTIMATED the GREY VEHICLE TO BE GOING APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES PER HOUR (MPH) IN A POSTED 20 MPH SCHOOL ZONE. I ACTIVATED MY RADAR, WHICH WAS ON A STATIONARY SETTING. IT GAVE ME A READING OF 35 MPH. THE VEHICLE PASSED ME AND AS I WENT TO PULL OUT BEHIND IT, THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABRUPT RIGHT HAND TURN ONTO NORTHEAST 10TH AVENUE. HE THEN MADE ANOTHER ABRUPT RIGHT HAND TURN, PASSING THE CRYSTAL RIVER PRIMARY SCHOOL. THE DRIVER SPED UP, PASSING A VEHICLE THAT WAS STOPPED DROPPING OFF CHILDREN AT THE SCHOOL. THE DRIVER PASSED THREE POSTED 20 MPH SCHOOL ZONE SPEED LIMIT SIGNS. I ADVISED DISPATCH THAT I WAS ATTEMPTING TO CONDUCT A TRAFFIC STOP ON A GREY VEHICLE BEARING FLORIDA TAG 854XVT. THE VEHICLE HAD SPED UP TO 43 MPH WHILE STILL IN A POSTED 25 MPH SCHOOL ZONE WHILE I WAS DRIVING BEHIND IT. UPON ACTIVATING MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS, THE VEHICLE TURNED ONTO NORTHEAST 8TH AVENUE AND NORTH 5TH TERRACE AND CAME TO A STOP. I APPROACHED the DRIVER AND ASKED FOR HIS DRIVERS LICENSE, REGISTRATION AND PROOF OF INSURANCE. HE HANDED ME AN EXPIRED REGISTRATION AND AN IDENTIFICATION CARD. I ASKED THE DRIVER WHERE HIS DRIVERS LICENSE WAS, HE ADVISED IT WAS SUSPENDED. I ASKED WHY HIS LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED, HE SAID FOR FAILURE TO PAY A TRAFFIC FINE. I THEN HAD THE DRIVER, IDENTIFIED BY HIS FLORIDA IDENTIFICATION CARD AS JEREMY A LUEDER, EXIT HIS VEHICLE. AFTER CONFIRMING THAT MR LUEDER WAS GIVEN NOTICE BY COURT ON 081309 THAT HIS LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED ON 090209 AND HE HAD RECEIVED A REPLACEMENT IDENTIFICATION CARD ON 091809, I PLACED MR LUEDER UNDER ARREST FOR DRIVING WHILE HIS LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED (WITH KNOWLEDGE). HE WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY WHERE HE WAS GIVEN A $500.00 BOND. I ASKED MR LUEDER WHY HE WAS STILL DRIVING IF HE KNEW HIS LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED, HE STATED that HE WAS GOING TO THE PAWN SHOP TO BUY HIS PARENTS AN ANNIVERSARY PRESENT. HE ALSO STATED THAT AT 1100 HOURS HE HAD TO MEET WITH MS KATHLEEN KENNEY, HIS OTHER PROBATION OFFICER, AND THAT WAS HOW HE GETS TO HIS APPOINTMENTS. I DID HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED BY ADAMS TOWING, PER THE ROTATION SCHEDULE. MR LUEDER WAS ISSUED UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION (UTC) 0153ESH FOR SPEEDING IN A SCHOOL ZONE, 0154ESH FOR DRIVING ON SUSPENDED LICENSE (KNOWINGLY) WITH A COURT DATE OF 102209 AT 1300 HOURS, 0152ESH FOR HAVING AN EXPIRED REGISTRATION AND UTC 0151ESH FOR NO PROOF OF INSURANCE. I HAD KNOWLEDGE THAT THE DRIVER WAS ON FELONY PROBATION FOR GRAND THEFT. NO FURTHER INFORMATION AT THIS TIME. UPON MY ARRIVAL AT THE DETENTION FACILITY, I DID MAKE CONTACT WITH STATE PROBATION OFFICER ICE IN REFERENCE TO THE DEFENDANT, MR LUEDER, BEING ON PROBATION. OFFICER ICE DID ADVISE ME TO VIOLATE HIS PROBATION, REFERENCE HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY COURT CASE NUMBER 2007CF26234 WITH NO BOND. THE CHARGE FOR VIOLATION OF PROBATION WAS PLACED ON MR LUEDER WHILE AT THE DETENTION FACILITY. NO FURTHER ACTION BY THIS DEPUTY. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
