| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: BONURA, MATTHEW 0334 (AR10116323) DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HER ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION WITH THE INTENT TO USE, OR DID UNLAWFULLY USE, AN OBJECT INTENDED OR DESIGNED FOR USE IN STORING, CONCEALING OR INJECTING, INGESTING, INHALING OR OTHERWISE INTRODUCING INTO THE HUMAN BODY, A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: GLASS PIPE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA'S STATE STATUTES 893.147(1). ON 081410 AT APPROXIMATELY 2250 HOURS, I WAS DISPATCHED TO 13982 OZELLO TRAIL IN CRYSTAL RIVER, IN REFERENCE TO SUBJECTS IN THE PARKING LOT SMOKING MARIJUANA. UPON ARRIVAL TO THE BUSINESS, I PARKED MY PATROL VEHICLE OUT OF SIGHT AND WALKED UP TO THE NORTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING WHERE I OBSERVED A WHITE PONTIAC 4-DOOR PASSENGER VEHICLE WITH TWO FEMALE OCCUPANTS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. AS I WAS APPROACHING THESE TWO SUBJECTS, I OVERHEARD DEFENDANT ONE, MS MEGAN JONES, STATE I CAN'T BELIEVE I AM DOING THIS IN FRONT OF MY MOTHER; I NEVER SMOKE IN FRONT OF HER. I THEN STOOD RIGHT BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FRAME OUT OF SIGHT AND WATCHED THE DEFENDANT BREAKING UP THE MARIJUANA, PUTTING IT IN A PILE ON THE ARM REST, TO BE USED IN A GLASS PIPE SMOKING DEVICE. I ALSO OBSERVED A CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE CONTAINING A GREEN LEAFY SUBSTANCE WHICH WAS BELIEVED TO BE MARIJUANA DUE TO THE OVERWHELMING SMELL OF MARIJUANA COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE PASSENGER, DEFENDANT TWO, MS KERRY BOOTH, THEN OBSERVE ME STANDING THERE. SHE THEN ATTEMPTED TO CONCEAL THE PIPE BEHIND HER SEAT. DEFENDANT ONE OBSERVED ME STANDING IN HER DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WHERE SHE LET OUT A YELL AS IF SHE WAS SHOCKED TO SEE ME. I THEN INFORMED DEFENDANT ONE TO PLACE THE MARIJUANA THAT WAS ON THE ARM REST BACK INTO THE CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE CONTAINING THE REST OF THE MARIJUANA. I THEN ASKED DEFENDANT ONE TO HAND ME THE BAG, TO WHICH SHE DID. DEFENDANT ONE DID ADMIT TO THE BAGGIE BEING HERS. I THEN SECURED THE BAG OF MARIJUANA INTO MY LEFT SIDE CARGO POCKET. I HAD DEFENDANT ONE STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE HANDCUFF HER, BEHIND HIS BACK, (DOUBLE LOCKED), I THEN HAD DEPUTY SULLIVAN TAKE CONTROL OF DEFENDANT ONE. I RETRIEVED THE BLUE GLASS SMOKING PIPE FROM WHERE I HAD OBSERVED DEFENDANT TWO PLACE IT. I THEN HELD UP THE BLUE SMOKING PIPE AND ASKED WHO THIS BELONGED TO. AT THAT TIME DEFENDANT TWO ADVISED THAT IT BELONGED TO HER. I THEN PLACED DEFENDANT TWO IN HANDCUFFS, BEHIND HER BACK, (DOUBLE LOCKED), AND SECURED HER IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. THE SITUATION OUTSIDE THE BAR BEGAN TO DETERIORATE DUE TO FAMILY MEMBERS OF BOTH DEFENDANT'S COMING OUTSIDE AND BECOMING VERBALLY AGGRESSIVE TOWARDS DEPUTY SULLIVAN AND I, STATING THAT IT WAS RIDICULOUS THAT THEY WERE GOING TO CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY OVER THE MARIJUANA. I THEN ATTEMPTED TO EXPLAIN THE PROCESS OF WHAT THEY WOULD NEED TO DO TO GET BOTH DEFENDANTS OUT OF CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. THIS WAS MET WITH A NEGATIVE RESPONSE. I RETRIEVED A PACK OF ROLLING PAPERS THAT WAS ALSO LYING ON THE CENTER CONSOLE. I THEN ASKED DEPUTY SULLIVAN TO TRANSPORT DEFENDANT ONE TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. I TRANSPORTED DEFENDANT TWO TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. UPON ARRIVAL TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY, THE CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE WAS IDENTIFIED AS BEING MARIJUANA BASED ON MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE. WHILE AT THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY I WAS ABLE TO WEIGH IT AND IT WEIGHED IN AT APPROXIMATELY 6.5 GRAMS. ALL EVIDENCE THAT WAS COLLECTED WILL BE TURNED IN TO EVIDENCE. DEFENDANT TWO WAS CHARGED WITH ONE COUNT OF POSSESSION OF PARAPHERNALIA WITH A BOND OF $500.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
