| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: FERGUSON, R. ADAM 0505 (AR07005442) DID UNLAWFULLY AND KNOWINGLY HAVE IN HIS ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: CANNABIS, COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS MARIJUANA, IN AN AMOUNT OF TWENTY GRAMS OR LESS, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.13(6)(B.) ON 100307 WHILE CONDUCTING ROUTINE PATROL IN THE AREA OF US HIGHWAY 19 AND NORTHWEST THIRD AVENUE IN CRYSTAL RIVER, TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND, I COMPLETED A U-TURN AND BEGAN TRAVELING NORTHBOUND. AT THAT TIME, I OBSERVED A GOLD BUICK BEARING TAG 365-DRN PULL ON TO US HIGHWAY 19 AND STOP ON THE ROADWAY ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. I INITIATED MY LIGHTS AND PULLED IN BEHIND THE VEHICLE. I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER/DEFENDANT, MR JIMI BURKETT, WHO PROVIDED ME WITH HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE. DURING THE TRAFFIC STOP, I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF THERE WAS ANYTHING ILLEGAL IN THE VEHICLE AND IF HE WOULD ALLOW FOR A CONSENSUAL SEARCH, TO WHICH HE ADVISED HE WOULD NOT. I NOTIFIED DISPATCH AND CANINE DEPUTY ROWAND RESPONDED TO THE SCENE. UPON THE ARRIVAL OF CANINE DEPUTY ROWAND, AND PRIOR TO THE COMPLETION OF THE TRAFFIC STOP, DEPUTY ROWAND DEPLOYED CANINE TUCK . DEPUTY ROWAND ADVISED THAT CANINE TUCK HAD ALERTED ON THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE. AT THAT TIME, I ASKED THE DEFENDANT AND HIS PASSENGER TO EXIT THE VEHICLE AND STAND BY WITH CRYSTAL RIVER POLICE DEPARTMENT OFFICER CALLAHAN AT THE FRONT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE WHILE A SEARCH OF THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE WAS CONDUCTED. WHILE SEARCHING THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT OF THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE, I DISCOVERED A PLASTIC BAGGIE, CONTAINING APPROXIMATELY FIVE GRAMS OF MARIJUANA, IN THE FRONT RIGHT PANTS POCKET OF A PAIR OF TAN PANTS WHICH WERE LOCATED ON THE REAR DRIVER SIDE SEAT. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT WHO THE CLOTHES IN THE REAR SEAT OF THE VEHICLE BELONGED TO, TO WHICH HE STATED THEY WERE HIS. I HELD UP THE PAIR OF TAN PANTS THAT THE MARIJUANA HAD BEEN LOCATED IN SO THAT THE DEFENDANT COULD SEE THEM AND AGAIN HE ADVISED THOSE WERE IN FACT HIS PANTS. WHEN I HELD UP THE BAGGIE OF MARIJUANA, THE DEFENDANT ADVISED THAT HE HAD FORGOTTEN IT WAS IN THERE BUT STATED THE BAGGIE AND PANTS WERE HIS. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK, SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR FURTHER PROCESSING. UPON ARRIVAL, HE WAS CHARGED WITH ONE COUNT OF POSSESSION OF MARIJUANA IN AN AMOUNT UNDER TWENTY GRAMS. PER THIS DEPUTY'S DISCRETION, BOND WAS SET AT NO BOND. THE DEFENDANT WAS PROCESSED, PHOTOGRAPHED AND RELEASED ON HIS OWN RECOGNIZANCE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
