| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: SCHANEL, CHARLES 0252 (AR09111390) HESSE, NICHOLAS 0689 DID, KNOWING HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE OR DRIVING PRIVILEGE HAD BEEN CANCELLED, SUSPENDED OR REVOKED, DRIVE A MOTOR VEHICLE UPON THE HIGHWAYS OF THIS STATE WHILE SUCH LICENSE OR PRIVILEGE WAS CANCELLED, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUE 322.34(2)(A) ON 101109 AT APPROXIMATELY 2330 HOURS, I CONDUCTED A LAWFUL TRAFFIC STOP ON A RED GMC PICKUP TRAVELING NORTH ON STATE ROAD 200, BEARING FLORIDA TAG T498WL, FOR FAILURE TO DIM HEADLIGHTS. WHILE TRAVELING SOUTH BOUND ON STATE ROAD 200, I OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT'S RED GMC PICKUP WITH HIS HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS ACTIVATED. I FLASHED MY HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS AT THE DRIVER APPROXIMATELY THREE TIMES TO REMIND HIM THAT HIS HIGH BEAM LIGHTS WERE ON. HOWEVER THE DEFENDANT DID NOT DIM HIS HEADLIGHTS. AFTER CONDUCTING MY TRAFFIC STOP, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT WHO ADVISED HE WAS MR JOSUE APONTE. UPON REQUEST THE DEFENDANT ADVISED THAT HE DID NOT HAVE HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE ON HIM AND THAT HE WAS VISITING FROM CONNECTICUT, AND PROVIDED A DATE OF BIRTH OF 090473. THE DEFENDANT THEN PROVIDED CURRENT REGISTRATION AND PROOF OF INSURANCE FOR THE VEHICLE. I THEN ADVISED HIM TO REMAIN SEATED IN HIS VEHICLE. I RETURNED TO MY PATROL VEHICLE AND CONDUCTED A DRIVER'S LICENSE WANTS AND WARRANTS CHECK, WHICH REVEALED THAT THE DEFENDANT HELD A LICENSE OUT OF CONNECTICUT, WHICH WAS CURRENTLY SUSPENDED AS OF 080806. I THEN APPROACHED THE DEFENDANT WHO ADVISED THAT HE KNEW HIS LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED DUE TO NON PAYMENT OF TRAFFIC FINES, AND ADVISED THAT HE INTENDED TO HAVE IT TAKEN CARE OF. I THEN HAD THE DEFENDANT EXIT THE VEHICLE, WHERE HE WAS SEARCHED AND HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED). THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN PLACED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. WHILE ON SCENE, THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE WAS TURNED OVER TO SCALLY'S TOWING TO BE IMPOUNDED. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE DEFENDANTS BOND WAS SET AT $500.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE DEFENDANT WAS ISSUED A FLORIDA UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION, CITATION NUMBER 1945-FIR FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED WITH KNOWLEDGE. THE DEFENDANT WAS ALSO ISSUED TWO CIVIL CITATIONS FOR FAILURE TO EXHIBIT DRIVER'S LICENSE ON DEMAND (1946-FIR), AND FAILURE TO DIM HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS (1947-FIR). *NOT-EXEMPT* |
