DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HIS 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 METAL SPOON, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTES 893.145 AND 893.147(1)(B) ON 082214 AT APPROXIMATELY 2037 HOURS, I WAS TRAVELING EAST BOUND ON ROOSEVELT BOULEVARD IN THE AREA OF SOUTH BARBOUR STREET IN BEVERLY HILLS. UPON DOING SO, I OBSERVED A WHITE MALE, IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT, MR JEREMY REITER, AND A WHITE FEMALE, MS SYLVIA VRABEL, WALKING NORTH BOUND ON SOUTH BARBOUR STREET. AT THAT TIME, I PULLED MY PATROL VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND INITIATED A CONSENSUAL CONTACT WITH BOTH THE DEFENDANT AND MS VRABEL. UPON SPEAKING WITH THEM, I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE HAD ANY DRUGS OR WEAPONS IN HIS POSSESSION AND MINDED IF I PATTED HIM DOWN. WHILE STATING THIS, I OBSERVED A LARGE BULGE IN THE DEFENDANT'S WAISTLINE AREA UNDERNEATH HIS SHIRT, WHICH WAS CONSISTENT WITH THAT OF POSSIBLY BEING A WEAPON. UPON ASKING the DEFENDANT IF HE MINDED LIFTING the FRONT OF HIS SHIRT UP, HE DID WHERE HE EXPOSED A PINK HARD CASE. UPON ASKING THE DEFENDANT WHAT WAS IN THE CASE, HE ADVISED ME THAT HE WAS "AN ADDICT" AND THAT HE KEPT NEEDLES AND OTHER THINGS SUCH AS PILLS IN THE CASE. UPON ASKING HIM TO REMOVE THE CASE FROM HIS WAISTBAND, HE DID SO WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT LOCATED IN THE CASE WAS A CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE, WHICH CONTAINED A SMALL AMOUNT OF A CLEAR CRYSTAL LIKE SUBSTANCE, WHICH WAS LATER FIELD TESTED POSITIVE FOR CRYSTAL METHAMPHETAMINE. FURTHERMORE, THE CASE CONTAINED TWO USED SYRINGES, A METAL SPOON, A PLASTIC STRAW CONTAINING RESIDUE AND SMALL pieces OF COTTON, WHICH ARE ALL CONSISTENT WITH THAT OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA COMMONLY USED IN TAKING METHAMPHETAMINE. AT THAT TIME, I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT HE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR THE ABOVE LISTED CHARGES. HE WAS THEN HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK AND SEATED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. PRIOR TO LEAVING the SCENE, MS VRABEL ADVISED THAT SHE WAS AWARE THE DEFENDANT WAS IN POSSESSION OF THE METHAMPHETAMINE AND DRUG PARAPHERNALIA HOWEVER, DID NOT USE NARCOTICS HERSELF. WHILE EN ROUTE TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY, I READ THE DEFENDANT HIS MIRANDA RIGHTS WHERE THE DEFENDANT WAIVED HIS RIGHTS. UPON SPEAKING WITH THE DEFENDANT, HE ADVISED HE FREQUENTLY USES METHAMPHETAMINE AND HAD JUST BEEN GIVEN THE METHAMPHETAMINE FOUND IN HIS POSSESSION EARLIER ON 082214. THE DEFENDANT ALSO ADVISED THAT HE WAS CURRENTLY UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF METHAMPHETAMINE AND HAD SMOKED IT APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES PRIOR TO BEING STOPPED BY THIS DETECTIVE. THE DEFENDANT ALSO ADVISED THAT the METHAMPHETAMINE WAS FOR HIS PERSONAL USE AND HE does NOT SELL NARCOTICS. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY, HE WAS TURNED OVER TO CORRECTIONS STAFF. THE DEFENDANTâS BOND WAS SET AT $3,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. the METHAMPHETAMINE WAS LATER WEIGHED WITH AN APPROXIMATE WEIGHT OF 0.3 GRAMS. ALL NARCOTICS AND DRUG PARAPHERNALIA WAS LATER PACKAGED AND TURNED INTO EVIDENCE. |
