| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: CIANCIA, TERRY 0575 (AR08104520) did, knowing HER 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 Statute 322.34(2)(a). AND DID OBSTRUCT BY DISGUISE IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 843.03. AT 1620 HOURS ON 080308 I OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT OPERATING A 1993 WHITE GEO METRO THREE DOOR, BEARING FLORIDA TAG 313HWK, HEADED SOUTHBOUND ON HIGHWAY 19 APPROACHING THE INTERSECTION OF FORT ISLAND TRAIL. I RAN THE VEHICLE TAG PRIOR TO THE DEFENDANT STOPPING AT THE INTERSECTION AND WAS ADVISED VIA TELETYPE THAT THE DRIVER'S DRIVING PRIVILEGES WERE SUSPENDED. THE DEFENDANT WAS STOPPED AT THE INTERSECTION OF HIGHWAY 19 AND FORT ISLAND TRAIL, AT WHICH TIME SHE PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT OF CODY'S RESTAURANT. I APPROACHED the DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE AND ASKED FOR HER DRIVERS LICENSE, AT WHICH TIME SHE ADVISED SHE DID NOT HAVE ONE WITH her. I ASKED HER NAME AND DATE OF BIRTH SO THAT I COULD RUN HER DRIVERS LICENSE THROUGH D.A.V.I.D., TO WHICH THE DEFENDANT SUPPLIED ME WITH THE NAME OF "CHRISTY DAWN FRANKLIN," DATE OF BIRTH 021280. A FLORIDA DRIVERS LICENSE CHECK REVEALED THAT CHRISTY DAWN FRANKLIN DID HAVE A FLORIDA DRIVERS LICENSE AND THAT IT WAS VALID. WHILE I WAS RUNNING A DRIVERS LICENSE CHECK THROUGH D.A.V.I.D., THE DEFENDANT APPROACHED ME AND HANDED ME A COPY OF A UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION (UTC) ISSUED TO CHRISTY DAWN FRANKLIN, UTC NUMBER 4431SLL, ISSUED ON 072408 BY TROOPER M EYES. WHILE HANDING ME THE COPY OF THE CITATION, THE DEFENDANT STATED, "I JUST GOT A CITATION A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO AND THIS IS A COPY OF IT". UPON TAKING THE CITATION FROM THE DEFENDANT, I AGAIN ASKED HER THIS WAS HER CORRECT NAME AND SHE REPLIED THAT IT WAS. WHEN THE PICTURE FROM D.A.V.I.D. CAME ON SCREEN FOR CHRISTY DAWN FRANKLIN, I CLEARLY NOTICED THAT THE PICTURE DID NOT MATCH THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME. THE DEFENDANT DID NOT KNOW THAT I PREVIOUSLY HAD HER CORRECT NAME AND DATE OF BIRTH THE ENTIRE TIME. I PULLED HER CORRECT NAME, KELLEY SUNSHINE STEWART, UP ON D.A.V.I.D., AND SHOWED HER THE PICTURE THAT CAME UP WITH THE DRIVERS LICENSE AND ASKED HER WHO THAT WAS. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED THAT WAS HER SISTER. SHE ALSO STATED THAT CHRISTY DAWN FRANKLIN WAS HER OTHER SISTER. AT THAT POINT, I LOOKED AT THE DEFENDANT AND ASKED HER FLAT OUT IF HER DRIVERS LICENSE PRIVILEGE WAS SUSPENDED FOR FAILURE TO PAY TRAFFIC FINES NO LESS THAN SIX TIMES. REALIZING I KNEW WHO SHE WAS, SHE DID ADMIT THAT HER TRUE NAME WAS KELLEY SUNSHINE STEWART, AND HER DATE OF BIRTH WAS 091676. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST AT THAT TIME FOR DRIVING AND OPERATING A VEHICLE ON SUSPENDED LICENSE, KNOWINGLY. THE DEFENDANT WAS HANDCUFFED AND PLACED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY, WHERE HER BOND WAS SET AT $500.00. THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE WAS LEFT AT SCENE AT HER REQUEST, AND WITH THE RESTAURANT management'S APPROVAL.. THE DEFENDANT, UPON ARRIVAL AT THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY, WAS ALSO ISSUED A CITATION WITH A MANDATORY COURT DATE OF 082108 AT 1300 HOURS. SHE WAS ALSO CHARGED WITH OBSTRUCTION BY DISGUISE FOR GIVING ME A FALSE NAME AND A COPY OF A CITATION CLAIMING THAT IT WAS HER. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
