| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: WEATHERFORD, D KEAGON 0710 (AR10118029) KNOWING her DRIVER'S 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.) ON 112010 I WAS TRAVELING ON EAST ON WEST VENABLE STREET BEHIND A GREEN FORD MUSTANG, AT WHICH TIME I RAN TAG NUMBER AIEK23 WHICH CAME BACK TO A TWO DOOR TEAL FORD MUSTANG REGISTERED TO A SCOTT BAKER WITH A TAG EXPIRED ON 111010. THE VEHICLE MADE A RIGHT TURN ON TO NORTH SUNCOAST BOULEVARD AND PULLED INTO THE TURNING LANE TO MAKE A LEFT TURN INTO THE BEALLS PLAZA. I INITIATED MY OVERHEAD LIGHTS TO CONDUCT A TRAFFIC STOP ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE BEALLS PLAZA WHERE A WHITE FEMALE, LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT, MS LANA CASH, JUMPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE WITH HER HANDS RAISED, YELLING "WHAT DID I DO? I NEVER DO ANYTHING AND YOU ALWAYS PULL ME OVER." I ORDERED MS CASH BACK INTO HER VEHICLE AND ADVISED HER THAT THE TAG ON THE VEHICLE WAS EXPIRED. MS CASH SUPPLIED ME WITH HER DRIVER'S LICENSE, THE VEHICLE REGISTRATION WHICH WAS EXPIRED, AND PROOF OF INSURANCE. UPON RUNNING MS CASH'S DRIVER'S LICENSE THROUGH NCIC/FCIC IT CAME BACK AS SUSPENDED BY COURT ORDER. THE DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAY SAFETY AND MOTOR VEHICLES (DHSMV) RECORD SHOWS THAT AS OF 093010 MS CASH WAS MARKED A HABITUAL TRAFFIC OFFENDER FOR SIX YEARS. I ASKED MS CASH WHY HER DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED, TO WHICH SHE STATED SHE KNEW IT WAS SUSPENDED BUT DID NOT KNOW WHY. SHE STATED "I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PEOPLE AT THE DRIVER'S LICENSE PLACE ARE DOING." I ASKED MS CASH TO STEP OUT OF HER VEHICLE, AT WHICH TIME SHE WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST. SHE WAS HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HER BACK AND SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. WHEN ASKED WHAT SHE WANTED TO DO WITH THE VEHICLE SHE WAS DRIVING, SHE STATED HER BOYFRIEND WAS STANDING ON THE SIDEWALK, THAT IT WAS HIS VEHICLE AND THAT SHE WAS COMING TO GET HIM. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TURNED OVER TO HER BOYFRIEND, THE REGISTERED OWNER. MS CASH WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR FURTHER PROCESSING. UPON ARRIVAL, MS CASH WAS BOOKED, PROCESSED AND HELD ON A BOND OF $2,000.00, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BOND SCHEDULE. SHE WAS ISSUED A FLORIDA UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION, CITATION NUMBER 4964-GHX7, FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED, KNOWINGLY, WITH A MANDATORY COURT APPEARANCE DATE OF 120910 AT 1300 HOURS AT THE CITRUS COUNTY COURTHOUSE. SHE WAS ALSO ISSUED WRITTEN WARNING NUMBER 312543B, FOR OPERATING A MOTOR VEHICLE WITH AN EXPIRED TAG.
