ON 081310 AT APPROXIMATELY 1537 HOURS, I WAS EAST BOUND ON HIGHWAY 44, AT WHICH TIME, I OBSERVED A WHITE TOYOTA BEARING FLORIDA LICENSE 1055FB WITH A TAG SHOWING EXPIRED IN 2010. AN FCIC CHECK WAS CONDUCTED SHOWING THE DECAL EXPIRED ON 072810. A TRAFFIC STOP WAS CONDUCTED ON HIGHWAY 491, AT WHICH TIME, CONTACT WAS MADE with THE DRIVER, WHO WAS IDENTIFIED AS MS ANGELA LEVELS. UPON ASKING FOR HER DRIVER'S LICENSE AND REGISTRATION, I WAS ADVISED THAT SHE DID NOT HAVE ONE AND THAT HER DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED. CONTACT WAS MADE WITH FRONT PASSENGER , MS LISA WARD, AND SHE PROVIDED ME A FLORIDA IDENTIFICATION CARD AND ALSO ADVISED HER LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED. THE REAR PASSENGER WAS IDENTIFIED AS MR MARTY TAYLOR WHO COULD NOT PRODUCE ANY IDENTIFICATION BUT ALSO ADVISED HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED. A REQUEST FOR A K-9 WAS MADE AND WHILE ISSUING THE DRIVER A CITATION FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED (DWLS), DEPUTY TACKETT ARRIVED ON SCENE AND CONDUCTED A K-9 WALK AROUND THE EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, THE K-9 ALERTED ON A PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. CONTACT WAS THEN MADE WITH THE DRIVER AND SHE WAS ADVISED OF THE K-9 ALERT AND IMMEDIATELY ADVISED THAT THERE WAS MARIJUANA WITHIN THE VEHICLE. THIS MARIJUANA WAS TURNED OVER TO THIS DEPUTY AND ALL THREE OCCUPANTS WERE ASKED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. A SEARCH OF THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE WAS THEN CONDUCTED, AT WHICH TIME, I DISCOVERED A PACK OF NEWPORT CIGARETTES IN A PLASTIC BAG ON THE FLOOR OF THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER. THIS PERSON, MS LISA WARD, HAD PREVIOUSLY EXITED THE VEHICLE CARRYING TWO PLASTIC BAGS AND SHE HAD BEEN ASKED TO REENTER THE VEHICLE. BOTH OF THESE BAGS WERE AT HER FEET WHEN SHE EXITED THE VEHICLE. INSIDE THE BOX OF NEWPORT CIGARETTES WERE WHAT APPEARED TO BE FIVE CRACK COCAINE ROCKS. MIRANDA WAS READ TO MS LISA WARD AND HER BOYFRIEND, MR MARTY TAYLOR. AT THIS TIME, I WAS ADVISED BY MS LISA WARD THAT MR MARTY TAYLOR HAD MADE THE PURCHASE OF CRACK COCAINE. MS WARD ALSO ADVISED SHE HAD SMOKED CRACK COCAINE A FEW DAYS EARLIER BUT BELIEVED THAT MR MARTY TAYLOR HAD PUT THE CRACK COCAINE IN HER CIGARETTE PACK. MR MARTY TAYLOR FIRST ADVISED THAT THE CRACK COCAINE WAS NOT HIS BUT THROUGH FURTHER QUESTIONING ADVISED HE HAD BEEN TO THE AREA OF THE CITGO GASOLINE STATION AND HAD MADE THE PURCHASE OF CRACK COCAINE FOR $80. HE ALSO ADVISED HE HAD BEEN INSIDE THE STORE AND PURCHASED A GLASS TUBE AND ADVISED THAT IT WAS THEIR INTENT TO USE THE GLASS TUBE TO SMOKE THE COCAINE WHEN THEY ARRIVED HOME. CONTACT WAS AGAIN MADE WITH MS LISA WARD WHO FURTHER ADVISED THAT THE INTENT OF HERSELF AND HER BOYFRIEND WAS TO SMOKE THE CRACK COCAINE, THAT SHE WAS AWARE OF THE PURCHASE. AT THIS TIME, SHE WAS PLACED IN HANDCUFFS AND WALKED TO MY PATROL VEHICLE, AT which TIME, SHE ADVISED SHE HAD A GLASS PIPE IN HER CROTCH which WAS THE ONE PURCHASED BY MR MARTY TAYLOR AND THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE USED TO SMOKE THE CRACK COCAINE. DEPUTY WEBB ARRIVED SHORTLY THEREAFTER AND REMOVED A GLASS TUBE FROM DEFENDANT WARD'S CROTCH AREA AND THIS WAS TURNED OVER TO THIS DEPUTY. BOTH MR TAYLOR AND MS WARD WERE HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. BOTH PARTIES BOND WAS SET AT $1,500. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
