| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: HESSE, BRYAN 0755 (AR12-3339) DID, KNOWING her DRIVERâS 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 STATUTE 322.34(2). ON 103012 AT APPROXIMATELY 2000 HOURS WHILE CONDUCTING TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT in the CITY OF CRYSTAL RIVER ON HIGHWAY US 19, I OBSERVED A VEHICLE TRAVELING NORTHBOUND WHICH APPEARED TO BE TRAVELLING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I VISUALLY ESTIMATED THE SPEED AT 55 MILES PER HOUR (MPH). I ACTIVATED MY RADAR AND UPON HEARING A CLEAR AUDIBLE TONE THE RADARâS READOUT WAS 57 MPH. WHILE THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO TRAVEL NORTH IN MY DIRECTION THE SPEED GRADUALLY INCREASED TO 60 MPH. I THEN TURNED MY VEHICLE AROUND AND PROCEEDED TO INITIATE A TRAFFIC STOP in the SWEETBAY PARKING LOT JUST OFF OF HIGHWAY 19. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER, MS KATRENA JENNINGS, WHO STATED THAT she WAS ON HER WAY TO the HOSPITAL BECAUSE SHE WAS ILL. UPON ASKING MS JENNINGS FOR HER DRIVERâS LICENSE, REGISTRATION AND PROOF OF INSURANCE SHE HANDED ME AN ILLINOIS IDENTIFICATION CARD AND STATED THAT she HAD LEFT HER DRIVERâS LICENSE IN THE MOTEL ROOM WHERE she WAS STAYING. UPON ENTERING HER NAME INTO NCIC/FCIC IT WAS DETERMINED THAT she HAD A SUSPENDED DRIVERâS LICENSE OUT OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS AND THAT IT HAD BEEN SUSPENDED FOR OVER ONE YEAR. I THEN WENT BACK TO THE VEHICLE. I ASKED MS JENNINGS TO STEP OUT AND SPEAK WITH ME AT THE FRONT OF MY PATROL CAR. MS JENNINGS STATED THAT SHE DID NOT have A LICENSE BACK AT THE MOTEL ROOM AND SHE KNEW THAT HER LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED, BUT SHE WAS VERY ILL AND HUNGRY AND AFRAID TO GO TO JAIL. SHE STATED THAT WHEN HER LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED SHE STARTED TO PAY the NECESSARY FINES, HOWEVER COULD NOT AFFORD TO GET IT REINSTATED AND HAD LEFT the STATE OF ILLINOIS TO COME DOWN TO FLORIDA KNOWING THAT HER LICENSE WAS NOT VALID. AT THAT TIME, MS JENNINGS WAS PLACED IN HANDCUFFS (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HER BACK AND SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE THAT SHE WAS DRIVING IS REGISTERED TO HER BOYFRIENDâS UNCLE, WHO WAS LATER CONTACTED. ONCE ON SCENE, THE VEHICLE WAS RELEASED TO HIM. THE DEFENDANT WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANT WAS CHANGED WITH ONE COUNT DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED/REVOKED, KNOWINGLY. THE DEFENDANTâS BOND WAS SET AT $500.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
