ON 021510 AT APPROXIMATELY 2040 HOURS, I WAS DRIVING NORTHBOUND ON HIGHWAY 19 IN THE AREA OF SNUG HARBOR DRIVE. I THEN OBSERVED A 1999 CHEVY TRACKER, GREEN IN COLOR, TRAVELING NORTHBOUND IN FRONT OF ME, BEARING FLORIDA TAG NUMBER 450XHG. UPON RUNNING THE TAG, IT CAME BACK TO A 1993 GRAY FOUR DOOR BMW. AT THAT TIME, I CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE CRYSTAL RIVER MALL. UPON MAKING CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER/DEFENDANT, MR LAWRENCE ANDERSON, I ASKED HIM FOR HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE, REGISTRATION AND PROOF OF INSURANCE. AT THAT TIME, HE REPLIED THAT HE DID NOT HAVE A DRIVER'S LICENSE, AND THAT IT WAS SUSPENDED. HE THEN HANDED ME HIS FLORIDA IDENTIFICATION CARD. UPON RUNNING HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE IN FCIC/NCIC, IT SHOWED THAT IT WAS CANCELLED AS OF 110309. IT ALSO SHOWED SEVEN SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY FOR FAILURE TO PAY TRAFFIC FINES, THE LAST ONE BEING ON 012810. AT THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK AND PLACED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. DEPUTY DAVIS AND HIS CANINE (CONAN) THEN ARRIVED ON SCENE. UPON CONDUCTING A WALK, CANINE CONAN ALERTED ON THE VEHICLE. AT THAT TIME, A SEARCH WAS CONDUCTED WHICH REVEALED A CAN OF BARBISOL SHAVING crème WHICH HAD THE BOTTOM CUT OUT OFF TO REVEAL A HIDDEN COMPARTMENT, FOUR SPOONS WITH A WHITE RESIDUE, AND THREE NEEDLES. TWO OTHER SUBJECTS WERE ALSO ARRESTED, SEE CASE NUMBER 10020618. AT THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION CENTER, WHERE HIS BOND WAS SET AT $500.00 FOR DRIVING ON A LICENSE SUSPENDED, AND $500.00 FOR DRIVING AN UNREGISTERED VEHICLE FOR A TOTAL BOND OF $1,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE.
