\tSUBMITTED BY: ROSS, JAMAL 1339 (AR15-17063) \tdid then and there unlawfully carry a concealed weapon or electric weapon or device on or about HIS person, to-wit: USED 25 CALIBER BLACK IN COLOR, ARMI TANFOGLIO GIUSEPPE (BRAND), MODEL GT 27 PAT, SERIAL NUMBER M60563, SEMI-AUTOMATIC PISTOL, in violation of Florida Statute NUMBER 790.01(2), AND DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HIS ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: 5.5 PILLS COLNAZEPAM, 1 MILLIGRAM, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE NUMBER 893.13(6)(A). ON 110115, AT APPROXIMATELY 0723 HOURS, I WAS DISPATCHED TO 9521 NORTH ALDER AVENUE IN CRYSTAL RIVER, IN REFERENCE TO A WELLBEING CHECK ON AN UNCONSCIOUS DRIVER BEHIND the WHEEL OF A VEHICLE. UPON ARRIVAL ON SCENE, I OBSERVED A BLUE IN COLOR FORD PICKUP TRUCK BEARING FLORIDA TAG NUMBER BFSG15 PARKED IN FRONT OF THE LISTED LOCATION. UPON APPROACHING THE VEHICLE FROM the PASSENGERS SIDE, I OBSERVED THAT THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE WAS STILL ON AND BOTH WINDOWS WERE DOWN. UPON LOOKING INSIDE THE VEHICLE, I OBSERVED A WHITE ADULT MALE SLEEPING IN the DRIVER'S SEAT WITH THE KEYS STILL IN THE IGNITION. I THEN KNOCKED ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE'S DOOR AND the DRIVER, WHO WAS LATER IDENTIFIED AS the defendant, MR JOHN JOSEPH KELLEY, VI, WOKE UP. I THEN ASKED the DRIVER IF HE WOULD STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE, TO WHICH HE ADVISED YES AND PROCEEDED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. I THEN ASKED the DRIVER IF HE HAD ANY DRUGS OR WEAPONS IN HIS POCKETS, TO WHICH HE ADVISED NO. I THEN ASKED the defendant IF I COULD PAT HIM DOWN FOR OFFICER'S SAFETY and HE SAID HE DID NOT MIND. UPON PATTING The defendant DOWN, I FELT A HARD OBJECT IN HIS LEFT POCKET WHICH RESEMBLED THE SHAPE OF A GUN. I ASKED the defendant WHAT the OBJECT WAS THAT I FELT. HE STATED, ''I DON'T KNOW.'' I THEN REMOVED A BLACK IN COLOR .25 CALIBER SEMIAUTOMATIC FIREARM, SERIAL NUMBER M60563, THAT HAD THREE ROUNDS in the MAGAZINE AND ONE IN the CHAMBER. I PLACED THE FIREARM IN the BED OF the TRUCK. I THEN ASKED the defendant IF I COULD CONTINUE TO SEARCH HIM, TO WHICH HE REPLIED YES. I RECOVERED A PRESCRIPTION BOTTLE THAT READ IT WAS PRESCRIBED TO MELISSA PENDL AND THE BOTTLE CONTAINED 60 CLONAZEPAM 1 MILLIGRAM TABLETS. I ASKED the defendant WHO WAS MELISSA AND WHY THE PILL BOTTLE WAS IN HIS POCKET. HE REPLIED MELLISSA WAS HIS GIRLFRIEND AND HE DID NOT KNOW HOW THE PILL BOTTLE GOT THERE. I ASKED the defendant WHY the FIREARM WAS IN HIS POCKET AND IF HE HAD A CONCEALED WEAPONS LICENSE, TO WHICH HE REPLIED HE DID NOT KNOW HOW IT GOT THERE AND HE DID NOT HAVE A CONCEALED WEAPONS LICENSE. I ASKED the defendant HOW HE HAD ARRIVED AT THIS LOCATION. HE STATED THAT he DID NOT KNOW. HE DID NOT REMEMBER ANYTHING FROM LAST NIGHT, BUT HE BELIEVED HE WAS DRIVING IN the AREA LOOKING FOR A FRIEND AND GOT LOST. THE defendant ASKED ME WHAT COUNTY WAS HE IN. I REPLIED CITRUS COUNTY. I ASKED THE defendant IF I COULD SEARCH HIS VEHICLE, TO WHICH HE REPLIED YES. UPON SEARCHING the VEHICLE, I OBSERVED AN OPEN CASE OF 24-PACK BUDWEISER AND 8-PACK BUDWEISER. I OBSERVED THAT THERE WAS APPROXIMATELY 14 CLOSED CONTAINERS OF BEER REMAINING WITHIN BOTH BOXES. AT THAT TIME, I DETAINED the defendant PENDING FURTHER INVESTIGATION. I OPENED the PLASTIC CONTAINER and OBSERVED THAT IT CONTAINED 5.5 LIGHT GREEN CIRCULAR SHAPED PILLS WITH ''M'' AND ''C/14'' INSCRIBED ON THEM WHICH WERE IDENTIFIED THROUGH DRUGS.COM AS COLNAZEPAM, ONE MILLIGRAM, WHICH IS A SCHEDULE 4 NARCOTIC. I THEN CONTACTED DISPATCH TO CONDUCT A WEAPONS check ON the FIREARM AND A PERSONS CHECK ON THE defendant. DISPATCH ADVISED THAT THE FIREARM WAS NOT REGISTERED TO ANYONE and the defendant DID NOT HAVE A CONCEALED WEAPONS LICENSE. I THEN ADVISED the defendant, MR JOHN JOSEPH KELLEY, VI, THAT he IS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR ONE COUNT CARRYING A CONCEALED WEAPON WITHOUT A CONCEALED WEAPONS LICENSE AND ONE COUNT OF POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE. THE defendant WAS PLACED IN HANDCUFFS (DOUBLE LOCKED) IN THE BACK AND SECURED IN the REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. THE defendant WAS TRANSPORTED TO the CITRUS COUNTY JAIL FOR BOOKING. THE defendant'S TOTAL BOND WAS SET AT $4,000.00, $2000.00 BOND FOR EACH CHARGE, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE OWNER OF the VEHICLE, MS HEATHER SWAIN, WAS CONTACTED IN REGARDS TO RECOVERING HER VEHICLE. THE defendant'S PROPERTY, A BLACK IN COLOR WALLET CONTAINING A SINGLE TWENTY DOLLAR BILL, WAS TURNED OVER TO THE CITRUS COUNTY JAIL STAFF. THE PILLS AND FIREARM WERE LATER TURNED IN TO EVIDENCE. WHILE AT the JAIL, I INTERVIEWED MS MELISSA PENDL, WHO WAS STILL INCARCERATED AT THAT TIME OF THIS REPORT. I ASKED MS PENDL IF AT ANY POINT IN TIME DID SHE AUTHORIZE ANYONE TO POSSESS HER MEDICATION, AND she REPLIED NO. MS PENDL FURTHER STATED PRIOR TO HER BEING ARRESTED ON 102315 SHE LEFT HER BAG OF MEDICATION AT HER FRIEND ADAM'S HOUSE, AND she ALSO ADVISED THAT HER BOYFRIEND WORKED FOR ADAM. AFTER RESEARCHING MS PENDL'S HISTORY, I DISCOVERED THAT SHE AND the defendant, MR KELLEY, WERE ARRESTED ON 102315, IN REFERENCE TO THE SAME INCIDENT. SEE CASE NUMBER 2015-139358. |
