SUBMITTED BY: GLAZE, RYAN 0299 (AR11124187) THE DEFENDANT DID KNOWINGLY DISPLAY, CAUSE OR PERMIT TO BE DISPLAYED, AND HAVE IN HIS POSSESSION A SUSPENDED DRIVER'S LICENSE, KNOWING THAT SUCH LICENSE HAS BEEN SUSPENDED, TO WIT: SUSPENDED ON 101711 FOR COURT FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 322.32(1) AND THE DEFENDANT DID UNLAWFULLY AND KNOWINGLY HAVE IN HIS ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: CANNABIS, COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS MARIJUANA, IN AN AMOUNT UNDER TWENTY GRAMS, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.13(6)(B). ON 123011 AT 1847 HOURS, I CONDUCED A traffic stop on a 2003 blue IN COLOR mitsUBISHI four door VEHICLE bearing FLORIDA TAG aqwh09 FOR HAVING AN INOPERATIVE RIGHT TAIL LAMP. WE WERE TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND FROM THE INTERSECTION OF WEST GROVER CLEVELAND BOULEVARD AND COUNTY ROAD 491 WHERE THE VIOLATION WAS OBSERVED. THE VEHICLE STOPPED ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE ROAD AT THE INTERSECTION OF HALO HILLS TERRACE AND COUNTY ROAD 491 IN LECANTO. I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER, MS CHRISTINA DALTON, WHO WAS ALSO THE WITNESS. I ADVISED HER WHY I HAD STOPPED HER VEHICLE, TO WHICH SHE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT HER PASSENGER SIDE TAIL LAMP WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I REQUESTED HER DRIVER'S LICENSE, THE VEHICLE REGISTRATION AND PROOF OF INSURANCE WHICH SHE PROVIDED. I ALSO REQUESTED THE DRIVER'S LICENSE OF THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER/DEFENDANT, MR KEVIN CARVER AND HE COMPLIED AND PROVIDED ME WITH HIS FLORIDA DRIVER'S LICENSE. I RETURNED TO MY PATROL VEHICLE AND RAN THE DRIVER'S LICENSES. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT MR CARVER'S DRIVERS LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED ON 111711 FOR COURT FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS BUT MS DALTON'S DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS VALID. I MADE CONTACT WITH MR CARVER A SECOND TIME AND ASKED HIM IF HE KNEW THAT HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED, TO WHICH HE ADVISED HE DID AND HAD RECEIVED NOTICE IN THE MAIL. CANINE DEPUTY RITLI RESPONDED TO MY TRAFFIC STOP AND ASSISTED. I THE PLACED MR CARVER IN HANDCUFFS (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK AND ADVISED HIM HE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR POSSESSION OF A SUSPENDED LICENSE. CANINE AJAX ALERTED TO THE ODOR OF DRUGS. SEE CANINE DEPUTY RITLI'S SUPPLEMENT REPORT FOR FURTHER INFORMATION. CANINE DEPUTY RITLI SEARCHED THE VEHICLE AND LOCATED A PARTIALLY SMOKED "MARIJUANA BLUNT" WITHIN THE ASHTRAY OF THE CENTER CONSOLE WHICH WAS FACING THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. CANINE DEPUTY RITLI SHOWED ME THE MARIJUANA HE HAD LOCATED. DUE TO MY TRAINING, KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE, I DETERMINED THE SUBSTANCE TO BE CANNABIS WHICH WAS LATER PACKAGED AND TURNED IN TO EVIDENCE. DEFENDANT CARVER WAS ISSUED a FLORIDA uniform traffic citation, citation number 5232-FGW4, FOR KNOWINGly POSSESSING A SUSPENDED DRIVER'S LICENSE. MS DALTON WAS ISSUED WRITTEN warning number 274143B, FOR FAULTY EQUIPMENT, INOPERATIVE RIGHT TAIL LAMP.
