| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: SCHANEL, CHARLES 0252 (12-55451) AR426 THE DEFENDANT, MS KRISTINA QUIS, DID, KNOWING her DRIVERâS 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 STATE STATUTE 322.34(2)(A). ON 032312, AT APPROXIMATELY 1400 HOURS, WHILE CONDUCTING TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT ON THE INTERSECTION OF NORTH ELKCAM BOULEVARD AND G MARTINELLI BOULEVARD, I OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT, MS KRISTINA QUIS, RUN A STOP SIGN at the ABOVE INTERSECTION, A TRAFFIC STOP WAS CONDUCTED AT THE INTERSECTION OF NORTH ELKCAM BOULEVARD AND SPRING LAKE DRIVE. CONTACT WAS MADE WITH THE DEFENDANT, AND I ADVISED HER ON THE REASON FOR THE STOP. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED THAT SHE WAS IN A RUSH AND WAS NOT PAYING ATTENTION. THE DEFENDANT THEN PROVIDED ME WITH HER FLORIDA DRIVERâS LICENSE. AFTER RUNNING A CHECK TO FCIC/NCIC AS WELL AS D.A.V.I.D., IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE DEFENDANTâS DRIVERâS LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY, ON 03202012, FOR FAILURE TO PAY A TRAFFIC FINE. I THEN REINITIATED CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT, AND ASKED HER IF SHE HAD ANY INFORMATION REGARDING HER DRIVERâS LICENSE. THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT SHE BELIEVED IT TO BE SUSPENDED AT ONE POINT, HOWEVER, SHE PAID THE TICKET FINE LATE, AND THAT SHE DID NOT BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE SUSPENDED OF THIS DATE. THE DEFENDANT EXPLAINED THAT IN JANUARY OF 2012, SHE WAS ISSUED A UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION FOR SPEEDING, FROM THE DUNNELLON POLICE DEPARTMENT. SHE STATED THAT SHE DID PAY THE FINE LATE, BUT WAS TOLD BY THE COURTS THAT HER DRIVERâS LICENSE WOULD MOST LIKELY BE SUSPENDED. HOWEVER, THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT DUNNELLON POLICE DEPARTMENT PROVIDED HER WITH A FORM THAT WOULD STATE OTHERWISE. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF SHE HAD PROOF OF THE ABOVE AND IF SHE WAS CARRYING THIS FORM STATING OTHERWISE, TO WHICH SHE STATED NO. I ASKED IF SHE COULD PROVIDE ANY DOCUMENTATION PROVING THIS, AND SHE STATED NO. THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT IN THE BEGINNING OF MARCH, SHE OBTAINED ANOTHER SPEEDING TICKET FROM FLORIDA HIGHWAY PATROL, AND WAS CURIOUS WHICH TICKET SHE WAS ACCUSED OF NOT PAYING. I ADVISED HER THAT HER DRIVERâS LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED ON 032012 FOR FAILURE TO PAY TRAFFIC FINES, POSSIBLY RELATING TO TICKET 5491GPD. SHE PROVIDED ME WITH THE TRAFFIC CITATION SHE RECEIVED FROM FLORIDA HIGHWAY PATROL WHICH DID NOT MATCH THAT NUMBER. I ADVISED THAT THAT WAS MOST LIKELY DUNNELLON POLICE DEPARTMENTâS CASE. IT WAS APPARENT THAT THE DEFENDANT DID KNOW HER LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED, AND HAD SINCE THEN HAD BEEN GIVEN A UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION BY FLORIDA HIGHWAY PATROL AND PULLED OVER TODAY. THE DEFENDANT WAS ADVISED THAT SHE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR ONE COUNT OF DRIVING ON A SUSPENDED DRIVERâS LICENSE. SHE THEN ADVISED ME THAT IT WAS POSSIBLE FOR HER BROTHER AND HER BOYFRIEND TO PICK UP HER VEHICLE TO AVOID TOWING COSTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OVER TO THESE TWO INDIVIDUALS. THE DEFENDANT WAS SEAT BELTED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DEFENDANT FACILITY WITH NO FURTHER INCIDENT AND ISSUED 334715B WARNING FOR VIOLATION OF A PATROL DEVICE, NAMELY RUNNING A STOP SIGN. SHE WAS ALSO ISSUED A UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION 8156-FRY FOR THE CRIMINAL CHARGE OF DRIVING WHILE LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED WITH A COURT DATE SET FOR 041212 AT 1300 AT THE CITRUS COUNTY COURTHOUSE. BOND WAS PLACED AT $500 PER BOND SCHEDULE. |
