| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: ANSTEAD. LAURA 0459 (AR09107381) REFUSE TO SIGN A CITATION PRESENTED TO THE DEFENDANT, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE, 318.14(3) ON 012609, I RESPONDED TO DELTONA BOULEVARD NEAR THE INTERSECTION OF WEST CITRUS SPRINGS BOULEVARD IN CITRUS SPRINGS IN REFERENCE TO A VEHICLE PARKED IN THE ROADWAY. UPON MY ARRIVAL, I DID OBSERVE A WHITE FOUR DOOR OLDSMOBILE, BEARING FLORIDA TAG NUMBER T32-9RN, PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT AND REAR TIRES IN THE ROADWAY AND THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AND REAR TIRES ON THE RIGHT OF WAY. I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER/DEFENDANT, A BLACK FEMALE, WHO WAS LATER IDENTIFIED BY HER FLORIDA DRIVER LICENSE NUMBER W-426-545-73-869-0, AS MS MARILYN WALKER. I REQUESTED THE DEFENDANT EXIT HER VEHICLE AND SPEAK WITH ME AT THE REAR OF HER CAR DUE TO THE FACT THAT I WAS STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD BLOCKING TRAFFIC BY TRYING TO SPEAK WITH HER WHILE SHE WAS STILL SEATED IN HER VEHICLE. DEPUTY A CANFIELD WAS ALSO ON SCENE AS I SPOKE WITH THE DEFENDANT. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT WHY SHE WAS PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TO WHICH SHE ADVISED SHE WAS STILL WAITING FOR A FRIEND. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT WE, THE CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE, HAD BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT DUE TO MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FROM PASSERSBY SINCE 1100 HOURS ON 012609. EACH TIME THE DEFENDANT MOVED TO A NEW LOCATION BUT STAYED CLOSE TO THE CITRUS SPRINGS MIDDLE SCHOOL. THROUGHOUT THE DAY, THE DEFENDANT MAINTAINED SHE WAS WAITING FOR A FRIEND BECAUSE SHE NEEDED MONEY. DURING THIS CONTACT, I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT THAT HER VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE ROADWAY, TO WHICH SHE STATED SHE WAS DOING NOTHING WRONG AND THAT SHE KNEW HER RIGHTS. I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT SEVERAL TIMES THAT SHE NEEDED TO MOVE HER VEHICLE, HOWEVER, THE DEFENDANT REFUSED. AFTER CONTINUALLY REFUSING, DEPUTY CANFIELD ISSUED THE DEFENDANT CITATION NUMBER 7393-FYK WHICH THE DEFENDANT REFUSED TO SIGN. DEPUTY CANFIELD AND I EXPLAINED TO THE DEFENDANT THAT THE FINE WAS $141.00 AND ALSO ADVISED HER SEVERAL TIMES THAT IF SHE REFUSED TO SIGN THE CITATION SHE WOULD BE TAKEN TO JAIL. AT THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT AGAIN REFUSED TO SIGN THE CITATION AND SHE WAS ISSUED A SECOND CITATION NUMBER 7394-FYK, FOR REFUSING TO SIGN A CITATION, WITH A MANDATORY COURT APPEARANCE DATE OF 021209 AT 1300 HOURS AT THE CITRUS COUNTY COURTHOUSE. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HER BACK, SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF A PATROL VEHICLE, AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. UPON ARRIVAL, HER BOND WAS SET AT $250.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
