| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: VENTIMIGLIA, LISA 0621 (AR 15-16803) DID UNLAWFULLY AND KNOWINGLY HAVE IN HIS ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: 2.9 GRAMS CANNABIS, AND TWO ROUND PLASTIC CONTAINERS CONTAINING CANNABIS ''WAX'' WEIGHING 12 GRAMS EACH (INCLUDING CONTAINER), COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS MARIJUANA, IN AN AMOUNT OF 20 GRAMS OR LESS, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.13(6)(B). ON 101315, I RESPONDED TO 3656 EAST RIDGECREST COURT, INVERNESS, REFERENCE A DOMESTIC DISTURBANCE. UPON ARRIVAL, I OBSERVED A WHITE FEMALE LATER IDENTIFIED AS MS TAELAR MUNSON, WALKING FROM THE FRONT YARD INTO THE HOUSE. AS I APPROACHED THE FRONT DOOR FROM THE OPEN CAR PORT, THE DEFENDANT, MR JUSTIN ANTHONY PASTORE AND MS MUNSON EXITED THE HOUSE. THE DEFENDANT SPONTANEOUSLY YELLED'' IT WAS JUST A VERBAL; WE ARE JUST ARGUING, NOTHING PHYSICAL HAPPENED.'' THE DEFENDANT THEN OPENED THE DRIVER'S DOOR OF THE 1999 CHEVROLET LUMINA, GETTING IN TO THE DRIVER SEAT, STATING HE DID NOT ''HAVE TIME FOR THIS, HE WAS LATE FOR WORK.'' I ORDERED THE DEFENDANT OUT OF THE VEHICLE TWO TIMES TO WHICH HE RESPONDED ''NO, I'M GOING TO WORK.'' I DREW MY TASER, HOLDING IT IN A LOW READY POSITION AND FOR THE THIRD TIME I ORDERED THE DEFENDANT OUT OF THE VEHICLE TO WHICH HE COMPLIED. THE DEFENDANT WAS HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE-LOCKED) AND ESCORTED TO MY PATROL VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT WAS ADVISED HE WAS BEING DETAINED WHILE I INVESTIGATED THE DOMESTIC DISTURBANCE. I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT THAT I WAS GOING TO PAT HIM DOWN FOR WEAPONS. HE ADVISED I MAY FIND SOME POT ON HIM. DURING THE PAT DOWN I DID FEEL A PLASTIC BAGGIE IN HIS LEFT FRONT POCKET, WHICH THROUGH MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE I KNEW TO BE MARIJUANA. HE ALSO HAD TWO ROUND PLASTIC CONTAINERS; EACH CONTAINING CANNABIS ''WAX'' WHICH WAS TESTED UTILIZING AN AGENCY ISSUED FIELD TEST KIT, YIELDING POSITIVE RESULTS FOR MARIJUANA. A VAPOR SMOKING DEVICE WAS ALSO LOCATED IN THE LEFT FRONT POCKET. THE DOMESTIC DISTURBANCE, CASE NUMBER 15-134255 WAS CLEARED AS VERBAL ONLY I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT HE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR POSSESSION OF MARIJUANA LESS THAN 20 GRAMS. A SEARCH OF AEGIS REVEALED THE DEFENDANT HAD A PREVIOUS ARREST FOR THE SAME CHARGES; SEE CASE NUMBER 12-75225. THE DEFENDANT REFUSED TO SPEAK WITH THIS DEPUTY, BUT WAS SPONTANEOUSLY VERBAL THROUGHOUT MY INVESTIGATION AND THE TRANSPORT TO CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. HE CONTINUOUSLY REPEATED THAT I HAD BETTER THINGS TO DO THAN TO ARREST HIM FOR A DRUG THAT SHOULD BE LEGALIZED ANYWAY AND NOW HE WOULD PROBABLY LOOSE HIS JOB. THE DEFENDANT WAS TURNED OVER TO CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE VAPOR SMOKING DEVICE, CANNABIS ''WAX', AND THE MARIJUANA WERE TURNED IN TO EVIDENCE. THE DEFENDANTâS BOND WAS SET AT $1,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
