JAMES PIXLEY AND REQUESTED HIS DRIVERS LICENSE VEHICLE REGISTRATION AND PROOF OF INSURANCE. MR. PIXLEY STATED THAT HIS DRIVERS LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED FOR CHILD SUPPORT AND TRAFFIC FINES AND HE DID NOT HAVE THE REGISTRATION OR PROOF OF INSURANCE. AT THAT TIME, YOUR AFFIANT ASKED THE OTHER OCCUPANTS IF THEY WOULD PROVIDE A FORM OF IDENTIFICATION TO WHICH THEY ALL STATED THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY IDENTIFICATION, HOWEVER ALL PROVIDED THEIR NAMES AND DATES OF BIRTH. THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER WAS IDENTIFIED AS MR. MATTHEW HUGGINS, AND THE REAR SEAT PASSENGERS WHO WERE EXITING AS YOUR AFFIANT APPROACHED THE VEHICLE WERE IDENTIFIED AS MS JACLYN JAEGER AND MR.
