| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: west, roy 0421 (ar10114674) did knowingly, willfully and feloniously be in the actual or constructive possession of a controlled substance, to-wit: the defendant did have in his possession three bags containing methadone hydroxide pills with the intent to sell, in violation of Florida Statutes 893.13(6)(A). DID GIVE A FALSE IDENTIFICATION WHILE TRYING TO DISGUISE HIMSELF, WITH THE INTENT OF TRYING TO OBSTRUCT THE SERVING OF A WARRANT, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE, 843.03. ON 050510, AT APPROXIMATELY 1728 HOURS I WAS DISPATCHED TO AREA OF 4233 SOUTH HIGHLANDS AVENUE IN INVERNESS, IN REFERENCE TO A REPORTED DOMESTIC DISTURBANCE. WHILE EN ROUTE, THE COMPLAINANT STATED THAT THE DEFENDANT WAS IN THE HOUSE WITH A LOADED GUN AND A POSSIBLE WARRANT. UPON MY ARRIVAL, I OBSERVED A WHITE MALE WALKING OUT OF THE RESIDENCE GOING TO THE SIDE OF THE RESIDENCE. THE COMPLAINANT THEN PULLED UP IN A VEHICLE AND ADVISED THIS DEPUTY THAT THE SUBJECT WALKING FROM THE RESIDENCE WAS NOT THE ONE CAUSING THE PROBLEM. SHE ADVISED THE DEFENDANT WAS STILL IN THE RESIDENCE. FROM MY VANTAGE POINT, I OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT AT THE FRONT DOOR OF THE RESIDENCE. I OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT BEGIN TO WALK BACK INTO THE RESIDENCE AS I APPROACHED. I ADVISED THE defendant TO STEP OUTSIDE, AT WHICH TIME HE DID COMPLY. FOR MY CONCERN ABOUT THE WEAPON, I HAD THE defendant PLACE HIS HANDS ON THE WALL SO I COULD QUICKLY PAT HIM DOWN. THE DEFENDANT WOULD NOT COOPERATE AND KEPT TURNING AROUND. AT THAT TIME, I PLACED HANDCUFFS ON THE defendant BEHIND HIS BACK. I THEN QUICKLY DID A PAT DOWN SEARCH WHICH CONFIRMED THERE WAS NO WEAPON. I THEN ASKED FOR THE defendant'S NAME WHICH HE REFUSED TO GIVE. AT THAT POINT, WE REMOVED THE DEFENDANT'S WALLET FROM HIS BACK POCKET. UPON MY ASKING HIS NAME AGAIN, THE DEFENDANT STATED HE WAS FROM MASSACHUSETTS, AND THAT HIS IDENTIFICATION WAS IN HIS WALLET. I DID LOCATE A MASSACHUSETTS IDENTIFICATION CARD IN THE FRONT SLEEVE OF THE WALLET. THE defendant ADVISED THAT WAS HIS IDENTIFICATION, AT WHICH TIME THE FEMALE COMPLAINANT SAW US PREPARING TO RUN HIS MASSACHUSETTS IDENTIFICATION, AND ADVISED US THAT THE DEFENDANT UTILIZES HIS BROTHER'S IDENTIFICATION. UPON CLOSER EXAMINATION OF THE WALLET, A FLORIDA IDENTIFICATION CARD WAS LOCATED ALONG WITH A SECOND MASSACHUSETTS'S DRIVER'S LICENSE. IT WAS CLEAR THAT THE FLORIDA IDENTIFICATION CARD HAD THE PHOTOGRAPH OF THE DEFENDANT. UPON RUNNING HIS NAME THROUGH TELETYPE, IT DID COME BACK WITH A POSITIVE HIT IN REFERENCE TO A WARRANT OUT OF OUR COUNTY. MY COMPLETE SEARCH OF THE defendant RESULTED IN THE LOCATION OF THREE SEPARATE BAGGIES WITH DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF METHADONE HYDROXIDE PILLS. ONE BAG CONTAINED FIVE PILLS, ONE CONTAINED TEN PILLS, AND ONE CONTAINED FIFTEEN PILLS. I OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT TRYING TO PULL THESE BAGS OUT OF HIS BACK POCKET WHILE WE WERE RUNNING HIS NAME. AFTER CONFIRMING THE IDENTITY OF THE PILLS THROUGH THE PILL IDENTIFICATION WEB SITE, I ADVISED THE defendant I WOULD BE PLACING HIM UNDER ARREST FOR THE POSSESSION OF CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES WITH THE INTENT TO SELL, AND FOR GIVING A FALSE IDENTIFICATION WHILE TRYING TO DISGUISE HIMSELF WITH THE INTENT TO OBSTRUCT THE SERVING OF A WARRANT. THE defendant WAS SECURED IN THE BACK OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING WHERE HIS BOND WAS SET At $10,500.00 total bond PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
