| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: WEATHERFORD, DAVID 0710 (AR13-4213) 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 20 GRAMS OR LESS, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.13(6)(B). ON 012313, I WAS CONDUCTING A SECURITY CHECK OF the CIRCLE K LOCATED AT 400 SOUTH SUNCOAST BOULEVARD IN CRYSTAL RIVER WHEN I OBSERVED A WHITE MALE SLEEPING IN the FRONT SEAT OF HIS VEHICLE IN the PARKING LOT. I MADE CONTACT WITH the STORE CLERK WHO ADVISED HE HAD ARRIVED APPROXIMATELY ONE HOUR AGO AND NEVER CAME INSIDE the STORE AND JUST WENT TO SLEEP. UPON MAKING CONTACT WITH the SUBJECT THE DEFENDANT LATER TO BE IDENTIFIED AS MR JOSHUA BATTERSON HE ADVISED ME HE HAD FALLEN ASLEEP. I NOTICED AN OPEN BEER TO BE SITTING in the CENTER CONSOLE. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT TO STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE, which HE DID. MR BATTERSON THEN GRANTED ME PERMISSION TO SEARCH the INTERIOR OF HIS VEHICLE. UPON DOING SO I LOCATED A CIGARETTE CUP ASHTRAY IN HIS CENTER CONSOLE. UPON LOOKING INSIDE I LOCATED WHAT APPEARED TO BE A PARTIAL MARIJUANA CIGARETTE. UPON FIELD TESTING THE MARIJUANA CIGARETTE IT DID IN FACT TEST POSITIVE FOR MARIJUANA. THE DEFENDANT STATED HE DID NOT KNOW THE MARIJUANA CIGARETTE WAS THERE AND IT MUST BELONG TO SOMEONE ELSE. AT THAT TIME, I ADVISED MR BATTERSON HE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, MARIJUANA LESS THAN 20 GRAMS. THE DEFENDANT WAS UNCOOPERATIVE IN HELPING ME LOCATE SOMEONE TO TAKE POSSESSION OF HIS DOG THAT WAS INSIDE the VEHICLE. AT THAT TIME THE DOG and THE DEFENDANTâS VEHICLE WAS LEFT ON SCENE PER HIS REQUEST AND ANIMAL CONTROL WAS NOTIFIED. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING WHERE HIS BOND WAS SET AT $500.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE DEFENDANTâS ANIMAL WAS TURNED OVER TO ANIMAL CONTROL. THE VEHICLE WAS SECURED AND LEFT ON SCENE AT THE DEFENDANTâS REQUEST. |
