I CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP ON THIS VEHICLE IN REFERENCE TO A DEFENDANT FROM A DOMESTIC BATTERY WHO WAS A PASSENGER IN SAID VEHICLE. UPON CONFIRMING THE IDENTITY OF THIS DRIVER/DEFENDANT, WHO DID NOT HAVE ANY FORM OF IDENTIFICATION ON HIM, THE DEFENDANT IDENTIFIED HIMSELF AS MR KERRY R RICHARDSON. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED THAT HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED FOR DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OUT OF THE STATE OF VIRGINIA AND THAT HE HAD BEEN ON PROBATION FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED OUT OF HERNANDO COUNTY. I CONFIRMED THIS INFORMATION THROUGH A CHECK OF FCIC/NCIC WHERE IT SHOWED THE DEFENDANT AS A HABITUAL FELONY OFFENDER. THE DEFENDANT HAD BEEN INDEED BEEN ARRESTED IN HERNANDO COUNTY IN 2007, WHERE HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS REVOKED FOR DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE IN VIRGINIA. THE DEFENDANT WAS ALSO WANTED OUT OF GEORGIA FOR DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE AND CHILD ENDANGERMENT WITH A FAILURE TO APPEAR (FTA) ON A VIOLATION OF PROBATION (VOP) ON 091610 , BUT GEORGIA WILL NOT EXTRADITE OUT OF STATE. I THEN PLACED THE DEFENDANT UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) AND SECURED HIM IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY (CCDF) FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. PRIOR TO LEAVING THE SCENE, THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT UNSECURED WITH THE KEYS UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT PER THE OWNER'S REQUEST. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $10,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE DEFENDANT WAS ISSUED A CRIMINAL UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION (UTC) CITATION NUMBER 8616ROZX WITH A COURT DATE TO BE SET BY THE CLERK OF COURTS OFFICE.
