| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: STRICKLAND, JASON 0583 (AR10113258) DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HIS ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: COCAINE, WHICH WAS LYING IN BETWEEN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND FLOORBOARD NEAR THE DOOR JAM OF THE VEHICLE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.13(6)(A). ON 021110, AT approximately 0237 HOURS I WAS SITTING STATIONARY IN MY VEHICLE ON NORTH FLORIDA avenue, JUST SOUTH OF EASTBOUND NORVELL BRYANT HIGHWAY, WHERE I OBSERVED A VEHICLE APPROACHING MY LOCATION. I ESTIMATED THE VEHICLE'S SPEED TO BE AT 45 MILES PER HOUR (MPH) IN A 35 MPH ZONE. I ACTIVATED MY FRONT RADAR ANTENNAE WHICH ADVISED ME THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ACTUALLY TRAVELING 47 MPH IN A 35 MPH ZONE. I THEN INITIATED A U-TURN AND CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP ON THE SILVER IN COLOR, FOUR DOOR SEDAN, AT the INTERSECTION OF NORTH FLORIDA avenue AND NORTH CARL G ROSE HIGHWAY. AT THAT TIME I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE AT WHICH TIME I ADVISED HIM THE REASON I STOPPED HIM AND GAINED THE DRIVER'S LICENSE, VEHICLE REGISTRATION AND PROOF OF INSURANCE. AT WHICH TIME I ASKED THE DRIVER IF THERE WAS ANYTHING ILLEGAL IN THE VEHICLE AND IF HE WOULD ALLOW ME TO SEARCH HIS VEHICLE AFTER I COMPLETED MY TRAFFIC STOP. THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE ADVISED ME THERE WAS nothing ILLEGAL IN HIS VEHICLE, TO HIS KNOWLEDGE, and THAT HE DID NOT MIND ME SEARCHING HIS VEHICLE. AT THAT TIME I THEN RETURNED TO MY PATROL VEHICLE WHERE I ISSUED the DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE A WRITTEN WARNING FOR HIS SPEED AND THEN RETURNED HIS VEHICLE INFORMATION AND DRIVER'S LICENSE TO HIM. I ASKED THE DRIVER AGAIN IF HE WOULD MIND IF I SEARCHED HIS VEHICLE, WHERE HE ADVISED HE DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT. AT THAT TIME I THEN HAD the DRIVER AND THE defendant, WHO WAS LOCATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, EXIT THE VEHICLE. AT WHICH TIME THE defendant THEN WALKED TOWARD THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. WHERE HE THEN PUT HIS HANDS IN HIS POCKET AND KEPT WALKING AROUND TOWARD THE FRONT BUMPER OF THE VEHICLE HE WAS RIDING IN. AT WHICH TIME I THEN TOLD THE defendant TO STEP TO THE FRONT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE, WHICH HE COMPLIED. AT THAT TIME BOTH SUBJECTS ADVISED THEY DID NOT MIND ME SEARCHING THEIR PERSON. A SEARCH WAS COMPLETED ON THEIR PERSONS. I THEN SEARCHED THE DRIVER SIDE, FRONT AND REAR SEATS OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER SEARCHING THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE I THEN MOVED TO the PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, WHERE I OBSERVED A VERY SMALL CLEAR ZIP-LOCK BAGGIE CONTAINING A WHITE POWDERY SUBSTANCE, LYING IN BETWEEN THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. AT THAT TIME I THEN WALKED BACK TO THE defendant WHERE I THEN DETAINED HIM IN HANDCUFFS DOUBLE LOCKED BEHIND HIS BACK AND SECURING HIM IN the REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. I THEN RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE WHERE I THEN PUT ON LATEX GLOVES AND RETRIEVED THE SMALL PLASTIC BAGGIE CONTAINING the WHITE POWDERY SUBSTANCE AND ALSO RETRIEVED A FIELD TEST KIT FOR COCAINE WHERE A SMALL AMOUNT OF THE WHITE POWDERY SUBSTANCE WAS RETRIEVED FROM THE BAGGIE AND PLACED INTO THE TEST KIT. WHERE IT REVEALED A BLUISH IN COLOR TINT WHICH IS A POSITIVE SIGN OF COCAINE. I THEN SECURED THE SMALL BAGGIE WITH THE WHITE POWDERY SUBSTANCE IN THE FRONT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE, WHERE I THEN RETURNED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHERE the defendant WAS SITTING AND COMPLETED MY SEARCH. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE defendant AND ADVISED HIM HE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR POSSESSION OF COCAINE. AT THAT TIME I READ THE defendant HIS MIRANDA WARNINGS FROM A PRE PRINTED CARD, WHICH the defendant ADVISED HE UNDERSTOOD HIS RIGHTS AND WAS WILLING TO TALK TO ME. THE defendant ADVISED THAT HE HAD COME FROM GRIFF'S BAR EARLIER TONIGHT AND HE ALSO ADVISED HE DID NOT BUY the COCAINE FROM GRIFF'S. THE defendant ALSO REFUSED TO COOPERATE WITH ANY DETECTIVES IN POSSIBLY BEING A CONFIDENTIAL INFORMANT. AT THAT TIME THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE WAS RELEASED ON HIS OWN RECOGNIZANCE AND THE defendant WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO citrus county detention facility FOR FURTHER PROCESSING. WHILE AT THE DETENTION FACILITY, THE defendant'S BOND WAS SET AT $5,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE, AND THE COCAINE WAS LATER TURNED IN TO EVIDENCE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
