SUBMITTED BY: POLLARD, RANDALL 0677 (AR09110621) DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HIS ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: NINE METHADONE 10 MILLIGRAM PILLS, FIVE OXYCODONE 15 MILLIGRAM PILLS, 50 TRIMDOL, AND NINE GALAPINTINS IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.13(6)(A). DID UNLAWFULLY AND KNOWINGLY HAVE IN HIS ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: CANNABIS, COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS MARIJUANA, IN AN AMOUNT OF 20 GRAMS OR LESS, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.13(6)(B). ON 082309, I RESPONDED TO 3826 SOUTH SUNCOAST BOULEVARD, IN HOMOSASSA, IN REFERENCE TO A WHITE MALE AND WHITE FEMALE WHO WERE ASLEEP IN A NISSAN FRONTIER IN the PARKING LOT IN FRONT OF WAL-MART. UPON ARRIVAL, I OBSERVED A NISSAN PICK UP WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR OPEN. I COULD ALSO HEAR the STEREO SYSTEM FROM THAT VEHICLE FROM OVER 50 FEET AWAY. I APPROACHED THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND UPON LOOKING THROUGH THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW, I OBSERVED A WHITE MALE UNCONSCIOUS LYING BACK IN HIS DRIVER SEAT. the SUBJECT HAD HIS HANDS SITTING IN HIS LAP, AND INSIDE OF HIS LEFT HAND I OBSERVED A CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE CONTAINING A GREEN LEAFY SUBSTANCE WHICH THROUGH MY TRAINING EXPERIENCE I RECOGNIZED AT THAT TIME TO BE MARIJUANA. I ATTEMPTED TO WAKE the SUBJECT BY KNOCKING ON HIS WINDOW, WHICH MET WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. I THEN OPENED the DRIVER SIDE DOOR and WOKE THE SUBJECT/DEFENDANT UP BY SHAKING HIM. AFTER WAKING THE DEFENDANT, I ASKED HIM TO STEP OUT OF HIS VEHICLE, AND AT THAT TIME PLACED HIM UNDER ARREST FOR POSSESSION OF MARIJUANA. DURING THE ARREST, THE DEFENDANT IDENTIFIED HIMSELF AS, MR MATTHEW BOENS. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE-LOCKED) AND SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. UPON SEARCH INCIDENT TO ARREST, I LOCATED A SMALL WHITE BOTTLE WITH the LABEL DESTROYED THAT CONTAINED NINE METHADONE 10 MILLIGRAM (MG) TABLETS, AND FIVE OXY CODONE 15 MG TABLETS IN HIS RIGHT FRONT POCKET. THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT HE HAD A PRESCRIPTION FOR THESE MEDICATIONS BUT COULD NOT PROVE THAT. THE DEFENDANT HAD ALSO NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY they WERE NOT IN THEIR PRESCRIBED BOTTLES. I THEN REMOVED THE DEFENDANT'S GIRLFRIEND, MS KRISTI VEIRA, FROM the VEHICLE AS WELL, AND SEARCHED THAT SAME VEHICLE. UPON SEARCHING the VEHICLES CENTER COUNSEL, I ALSO LOCATED 50 TRIMDOLE 50 MG TABLETS ALONG WITH NINE GALAPINTINS. THE DEFENDANT ALSO STATED THAT HE HAd PRESCRIPTIONS FOR THE GALLAPINTINS and TRIMDOL, BUT COULD NOT PROVIDE PROOF AT THIS TIME. I THEN REMOVED THE BAGGIE OF MARIJUANA FROM the DRIVER SEAT which WAS WHERE the DEFENDANT PLACED IT BEFORE GETTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I THEN PLACED ALL FOUND NARCOTICS ON THE FRONT OF THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE. MYSELF and DEPUTY GRAMLICH PERFORMED A PRESUMPTIVE FIELD TEST ON the GREEN LEAFY SUBSTANCE, WHICH YIELDED POSITIVE FOR MARIJUANA. THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE WAS LEFT IN THE PARKING LOT OF WAL-MART. WAL-MART PERSONNEL ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD BE TOWING this VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT'S GIRLFRIEND MS VEIRA CONSENTED TO A CONSENSUAL SEARCH OF HER PURSE AND ITEMS, WHICH WAS CONDUCTED BY DEPUTY GRAMLICH. UPON CONDUCTING THIS SEARCH DEPUTY GRAMLICH LOCATED A METAL LIKE PILL BOTTLE WHICH CONTAINED HALF A XANAX BAR and A NOSE PIERCING RING. MS VEIRA WAS ARRESTED FOR THAT OFFENSE AS WELL. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE DETENTION FACILITY, THE MARIJUANA WAS WEIGHED ON A TRIPLE BEAM BALANCE, AND the MARIJUANA IN the PLASTIC BAGGIE WEIGHED 2.5 GRAMS, AND the MARIJUANA WITHOUT THE PLASTIC BAGGIE WEIGHED 1.5 GRAMS. ALL ITEMS THAT WERE TAKEN FROM the DEFENDANT WILL BE PLACED INTO EVIDENCE AT EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER (EOC). THE DEFENDANT WAS ALSO ISSUED A UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION, NUMBER 9692ESG, FOR A SOUND MAKING DEVICE HEARD FROM MORE THAN 25 FEET. THE DEFENDANT'S TOTAL BOND WILL BE SET AT $5,500.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
