| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: MILLER, DAVID 1337 (AR15-17607) DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HER ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: ONE CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE CONTAINING APPROXIMATELY 1.3 GRAMS OF HEROIN, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.13(6)(A). DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HER ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: ONE SMALL PLASTIC BAGGIE, ONE CELLOPHANE WRAPPER AND ONE BURNT MARIJUANA CIGARETTE WITH A TOTAL APPROXIMATE WEIGHT OF 2.1 GRAMS OF 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 121415, WHILE CONDUCTING TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT ALONG NORTH CARL G ROSE HIGHWAY, I OBSERVED A 2008 WHITE DODGE FOUR-DOOR VEHICLE BEARING FLORIDA LICENSE PLATE NUMBER J750JX THAT APPEARED TO BE TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED HEADING SOUTHBOUND ON NORTH CARL G ROSE HIGHWAY. AT THAT TIME, WHILE PASSING EAST BRAVE LANE, I POSITIONED BY PATROL VEHICLE BEHIND THIS VEHICLE AND BEGAN PACING THE VEHICLE UNTIL PASSING EAST LAKE PARK DRIVE, WHICH WAS APPROXIMATELY 1-1/2 MILES, SOUTHBOUND ON CARL G ROSE HIGHWAY TRAVELING AT A RATE OF SPEED OF 59 MILES PER HOUR IN A 50 MILE PER HOUR ZONE. AT THAT TIME, I ACTIVATED MY OVERHEAD EMERGENCY LIGHTS TO INITIATE A TRAFFIC STOP OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE THEN ENTERED THE CUMBERLAND FARMS GAS STATION AT THE INTERSECTION OF NORTH FLORIDA HIGHWAY AND NORTH CARL G ROSE HIGHWAY. K-9 DEPUTY WILLIAMS (0730) ALSO ARRIVED AS BACKUP DEPUTY. I THEN APPROACHED THE VEHICLE ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHERE I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER, MS SAMANTHA TUCKER. I IMMEDIATELY ADVISED MS TUCKER OF EXCEEDING THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT, WHICH SHE ADVISED SHE UNDERSTOOD. THE VEHICLE HAD FOUR TOTAL OCCUPANTS; THE DRIVER, MS SAMANTHA TUCKER, THE FRONT PASSENGER, MS LAUREN WOOD, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER/DEFENDANT MS JOSSIEAN MARIE ALICEA RIVERA AND THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE PASSENGER, MS HALIE RODDENBERRY. BOTH REAR PASSENGERS BECAME NOTICEABLY ANXIOUS AND BEGAN MOVING AROUND IN THE REAR SEAT. AT THAT TIME, I RETRIEVED THE DRIVER'S, MS TUCKER, INFORMATION AND PROPER PAPERWORK FOR THE VEHICLE AND ALL PASSENGERS' NAMES AND DATES OF BIRTH. I THEN ASKED MS TUCKER IF THERE WERE ANY WEAPONS OR NARCOTICS IN THE VEHICLE, WHICH SHE REPLIED NO, BUT WOULD NOT GIVE CONSENT TO A SEARCH OF THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. I THEN RAN ALL SUBJECTS THROUGH FCIC/NCIC WHILE K-9 DEPUTY WILLIAMS DEPLOYED HIS CANINE, SAMSON, FOR AN EXTERIOR SEARCH OF THE FREE AIRSPACE AROUND THE VEHICLE. K-9 DEPUTY WILLIAMS THEN ADVISED THIS DEPUTY THAT CANINE SAMSON GAVE A POSITIVE ALERT ON THE VEHICLE. IT WAS THEN DISCOVERED ALL OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE WERE NEGATIVE FOR ANY WARRANTS AND MS TUCKER HAD A VALID DRIVER'S LICENSE. THE OCCUPANTS WERE INSTRUCTED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE ONE BY ONE. ALL SUBJECTS WERE ASKED IF THEY HAD ANY WEAPONS OR CONTRABAND IN THEIR POSSESSION, WHICH ALL ADVISED NO. AFTER ALL SUBJECTS EXITED THE VEHICLE, THEY WERE VISIBLY OBSERVED FOR ANY WEAPONS, WHICH MET WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. I THEN CONDUCTED A SEARCH OF THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH YIELDED NEGATIVE RESULTS. DEPUTY EICHHORN (1365) THEN RESPONDED TO THIS TRAFFIC STOP TO CONDUCT A PAT DOWN SEARCH OF EACH VEHICLE OCCUPANT DUE TO ALL OF THE OCCUPANTS BEING FEMALE. DEPUTY EICHHORN ADVISED SHE FOUND WHAT APPEARED TO BE HEROIN AND CANNABIS LOCATED ON REAR DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER/DEFENDANT, MS JOSSIEAN MARIE ALICEA RIVERA. SEE DEPUTY EICHHORN'S SUPPLEMENT FOR FURTHER. K-9 DEPUTY WILLIAMS THEN TESTED THE ITEMS FOUND TO WHICH HE ADVISED THIS DEPUTY THAT THEY TESTED POSITIVE FOR BOTH HEROIN AND MARIJUANA. K-9 DEPUTY WILLIAMS ADVISED THE TOTAL APPROXIMATE WEIGHT OF THE HEROIN WAS 1.3 GRAMS AND THE TOTAL APPROXIMATE WEIGHT OF THE CANNABIS WAS 2.1 GRAMS. SEE K-9 DEPUTY WILLIAMS SUPPLEMENT FOR FURTHER. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST AT THAT TIME, HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE-LOCKED) BEHIND HER BACK AND PLACED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT WAS TRANSPORTED TO CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. MS TUCKER WAS ISSUED WRITTEN WARNING, NUMBER 404876B, FOR EXCESS SPEED VIOLATION. BOND WAS SET AT $3000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
