| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: HORTON, TIMOTHY 0614 (AR17-23253) \tDID, KNOWING HER DRIVER'S LICENSE OR DRIVING PRIVILEGE HAD BEEN CANCELLED, SUSPENDED OR REVOKED AS A HABITUAL TRAFFIC OFFENDER, DRIVE A MOTOR VEHICLE UPON THE HIGHWAYS OF THIS STATE WHILE SUCH LICENSE OR PRIVILEGE WAS CANCELLED, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATUTE, 322.34(5) ON 040117, AT APPROXIMATELY 0838 HOURS, I WAS CONDUCTING TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT IN THE AREA OF NORTH SUNCOAST BOULEVARD AND WEST VENABLE STREET IN CRYSTAL RIVER, FLORIDA. AT THAT TIME, I OBSERVED A 2006 SILVER NISSAN ULTIMA FLORIDA BEARING TEMPORARY TAG, BX13162, TRAVELING NORTHBOUND ON NORTH SUNCOAST BOULEVARD. I OBSERVED SAID VEHICLE THEN TRAVEL THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I WAS TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND AT THAT TIME, AND ESTIMATED THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 62 MILES PER HOUR IN A POSTED 45 MILES PER HOUR SPEED ZONE. AS I APPROACHED THE LIGHT/INTERSECTION AT WEST VENABLE STREET AND NORTH SUNCOAST BOULEVARD, I ACTIVATED MY FRONT RADAR UNIT (STALKER DSR SERIAL DS30655) AND RECEIVED A HIGH DOPPLER TONE FOR THE VEHICLE WHICH VERIFIED THE VEHICLE SPEED AT 63 MILES PER HOUR. I THEN CONDUCTED A TURN AROUND AT WEST SUNCOAST BOULEVARD AND WEST VENABLE AFTER IT PASSED MY LOCATION. AT THAT TIME, THE VEHICLE WAS STILL TRAVELING NORTHBOUND IN THE INSIDE TRAFFIC LANE OF NORTH SUNCOAST BOULEVARD. DURING THIS TIME, I NEVER LOST SIGHT OF SAID VEHICLE. I THEN INITIATED A TRAFFIC STOP ON THE VEHICLE AT NORTH SUNCOAST BOULEVARD AND WEST PURE LANE. AT THAT TIME I HAD THE DRIVER PULL INTO THE ARBYS PARKING LOT LOCATED AT 490 NORTH SUNCOAST BOULEVARD. I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE WHO IDENTIFIED HERSELF AS MS LINDA FAY STANLEY. I ADVISED MS STANLEY OF THE REASON FOR THE TRAFFIC STOP, AND OBSERVED HER DAUGHTER, MS CHARLENE STANLEY, SEATED IN THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I ALSO OBSERVED TWO SMALL CHILDREN SEATED IN THE REAR PASSENGER SEATS SECURED IN CAR SEATS. I REQUESTED MS STANLEYâS DRIVERâS LICENSE, REGISTRATION AND PROOF OF INSURANCE. AT THAT TIME, MS STANLEY ADVISED THAT SHE DID NOT HAVE HER DRIVERâS LICENSE, DUE TO IT BEING SUSPENDED FOR FAILURE TO PAY TRAFFIC INFRACTIONS. AT THAT TIME, I CONDUCTED A DRIVERâS LICENSE CHECK FOR MS STANLEY, AT WHICH TIME IT REVEALED HER DRIVERâS LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED WITH MULTIPLE SUSPENSIONS. THE LATEST DATE OF SUSPENSION OCCURRED ON 091916 AND WAS REVOKED FOR 60 MONTHS AS A HABITUAL TRAFFIC VIOLATOR. IT FURTHER REVEALED THE MOST RECENT SUSPENSION OCCURRED ON 031617 FOR CRIMINAL FAILURE TO PAY. I AGAIN MADE CONTACT WITH MS STANLEY AND INSTRUCTED HER TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE RETRIEVED FROM THE SCENE BY ITS OWNER. AT APPROXIMATELY 0945 HOURS, THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE ARRIVED ON SCENE AND RETRIEVED HIS VEHICLE. MS STANLEYâS CHILDREN WERE TURNED OVER TO THE CUSTODY OF HER FAMILY. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR HABITUALLY DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED/REVOKED. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED IN HANDCUFFS BEHIND HER BACK (DOUBLE LOCKED) AND SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE FOR TRANSPORT TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. THE DEFENDANT WAS EXTREMELY CO-OPERATIVE DURING THE COURSE OF MY INVESTIGATION. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE DETENTION FACILITY, THE DEFENDANT WAS TURNED OVER TO DETENTION STAFF FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANTâS BOND WAS SET AT $2,000.00 FOR THE ABOVE LISTED CHARGE. THE DEFENDANT WAS ISSUED UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION, A7YQ0TE, FOR UNLAWFUL SPEED (63 MILES PER HOUR IN A 45 MILES PER HOUR ZONE) WITH A FINE OF $256.00 PAYABLE WITHIN 60 DAYS. THE DEFENDANT WAS ALSO ISSUED UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION, A7YQ0UE, FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED/REVOKED FOR HABITUAL TRAFFIC OFFENDER, WITH A MANDATORY COURT DATE OF 042017 AT 1300 HOURS AT THE CITRUS COUNTY COURTHOUSE. |
