ON 042111 WHILE TRAVELING NORTH ON HIGHWAY 491, I WAS FOLLOWING SILVER HONDA, 2-DOOR BEARING FLORIDA TAG NUMBER ALB-Q81. I RAN THE TAG THROUGH FCIC/NCIC AND DISCOVERED THE TAG HAD EXPIRED DECEMBER, 2010. I CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP AT THE INTERSECTION OF HIGHWAY 491 AND JERWAYNE. AS I APPROACHED THE VEHICLE, I OBSERVED THE DECAL ON THE TAG HAD EXPIRATION DATE OF OCTOBER, 2011. I THEN APPROACHED THE VEHICLE AND ASKED THE DRIVER FOR HIS LICENSE and REGISTRATION. THE DEFENDANT PROVIDED ME with A REGISTRATION AND STATED HE DID NOT HAVE HIS LICENSE. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE DID NOT HAVE IT WITH HIM OR IF HE DID NOT HAVE ONE. HE ADVISED HE DOES NOT HAVE ONE. WHEN I ASKED HIM WHY IT WAS SUSPENDED HE STATED IT WAS SUSPENDED FOR FAILURE TO PAY TRAFFIC FINES AND THAT HE HAD PAID THE TRAFFIC FINES, AT WHICH TIME, THEY REINSTATED HIS LICENSE, BUT THEN RE-SUSPENDED HIS LICENSE BECAUSE HE DID NOT COMPLETE TRAFFIC COURSE. I ASKED HIM ABOUT the DECAL ON THE LICENSE PLATE AND HE STATED HE GOT IT FROM HIS MOM. I CONFIRMED THE DEFENDANT'S IDENTITY THROUGH "DAVID" PROGRAM AND THEN CONFIRMED THE DEFENDANT'S LICENSE WAS STILL SUSPENDED THROUGH FCIC/NCIC AND "DAVID" SYSTEM. I THEN RAN the DECAL NUMBER THROUGH NCIC/FCIC AND DISCOVERED THAT IT WAS ASSIGNED TO A LEXUS UTILITY VEHICLE. THE DECAL WAS NOT REPORTED STOLEN. I THEN ADVISED THE DEFENDANT HE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED, KNOWINGLY AND FOR ATTACHING DECAL NOT ASSIGNED TO the LICENSE. THE DEFENDANT WAS HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK and TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING and PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANT TOTAL BOND WAS SET AT $1,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* "If you are a person with a disability who needs any accommodation in order to participate in this proceeding, you are entitled, at no cost to you, to the provision of certain assistance.
