ON 021616, I WAS TRAVELING NORTH ON HIGHWAY 41 AND NOTICED IN FRONT OF ME IN THE RIGHT LANE THERE WAS A LIGHT GREEN TOYOTA RAV4 BEARING FLORIDA LICENSE PLATE NUMBER BHYE56. AN AMBULANCE APPROACHED THE VEHICLE FROM THE REAR WITH LIGHTS AND SIRENS ON AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT YIELD. AFTER THE AMBULANCE PASSED, I PULLED BEHIND THE VEHICLE, RAN THE LICENSE PLATE AND DISCOVERED THAT IT HAD EXPIRED ON 121515. I THEN CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP, WHICH OCCURRED ON SOUTH FLORIDA AVENUE AND EAST FORT COOPER ROAD. IN THE DRIVERS SEAT OF THE VEHICLE WAS MR ANTHONY PACHECO, LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DRIVER. IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF THE VEHICLE WAS MS KRISTEN HANSEN, WHO WAS LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT. UPON MAKING CONTACT WITH THE TWO OCCUPANTS, THE DRIVER ADVISED THAT HE WAS AWARE THAT HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED AND HE WAS ONLY DRIVING THE DEFENDANT, DUE TO THE FACT THAT SHE WAS INTOXICATED AND UNABLE TO DRIVE. I CONFIRMED THE DRIVER'S STATEMENT UTILIZING ''DAVID'' (DRIVER AND VEHICLE INFORMATION DATABASE), WHICH STATED THAT MR PACHECO'S DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED AS OF 100614. I ASKED THE DRIVER IF HE WOULDNâT MIND STEPPING OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER COMPLIED AND I CONDUCTED A PAT DOWN FOR SAFETY, WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT AND DURING OUR CONVERSATION I ASKED THE DEFENDANT FOR PERMISSION TO SEARCH THE VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT CONSENTED TO THE SEARCH. THE DEFENDANT WAS ASKED TO STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND SHE WAS PATTED DOWN FOR SAFETY, YIELDING NEGATIVE RESULTS. DEPUTY HUNTER (0441) STOOD BY WITH THE OCCUPANTS WHILE I CONDUCTED A SEARCH OF THE VEHICLE. IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, WAS A GREEN PURSE. INSIDE THE PURSE WAS A SMALL BROWN CASE CONTAINING FOUR YELLOW XANAX BARS AND TWO BLUE XANAX PILLS. THERE WERE ALSO THREE WHITE PILLS WHICH WERE IDENTIFIED AS A SCHEDULE IV PAIN KILLER. ALSO IN THE PURSE WAS A PLASTIC BAGGIE CONTAINING AN UNKNOWN AMOUNT OF ORANGE CRUSHED PILLS. ON THE FLOORBOARD OF THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT, WHERE THE DEFENDANT WAS SITTING, THERE WAS A GLASS PIPE. THIS PARTICULAR GLASS PIPE CONSISTED OF TWO BULBS CONNECTED BY GLASS STRAWS AND WAS ABOUT HALF FILLED WITH A PINK IN COLOR LIQUID. ALONG WITH THE PIPE THERE WAS ALSO A BLUE CLOTH BAG ON THE FLOORBOARD. THE BLUE CLOTH BAG CONTAINED A DIGITAL SCALE, THREE SYRINGES AND A PLASTIC BAG WITH METHAMPHETAMINE RESIDUE INSIDE. IN THE CENTER CONSOLE THERE WAS A GLASS PIPE COATED WITH METHAMPHETAMINE RESIDUE. IN THE TRUNK COMPARTMENT OF THE VEHICLE THERE WERE TWO PACKAGES OF DIFFERENT SIZED SMALL PLASTIC BAGGIES COMMONLY USED FOR THE SELLING OF NARCOTICS. THIS CONCLUDED MY SEARCH OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN READ MIRANDA RIGHTS VIA PREPRINTED AGENCY CARD. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED THAT THE GREEN PURSE ON THE PASSENGER SEAT OF THE VEHICLE WAS HERS AND SHE DID NOT KNOW WHERE ANY OF THE OTHER ITEMS CAME FROM. SHE ALSO ADVISED THAT SHE HAD A PRESCRIPTION FOR THE PILLS, BUT THIS COULD NOT BE VERIFIED AND SHE DID NOT DISPLAY ANY PROOF. BOTH PIPES AND THE PLASTIC BAGGIE CONTAINING RESIDUE WERE TESTED FOR METHAMPHETAMINE WITH AGENCY APPROVED TEST KITS YIELDING POSITIVE RESULTS. THE DRIVER WAS ISSUED A WARNING FOR THE EXPIRED LICENSE PLATE AND FAILURE TO YIELD TO AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR ONE COUNT OF POSSESSION OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA. SHE WAS HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HER BACK, SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $1,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
