SUBMITTED BY: SNEDEKER, TIMOTHY 1402 (AR16-20533) DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HER ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: HYDROCODONE TABLETS, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE, 893.13(6)(A). DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HER ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION WITH THE INTENT TO USE, OR DID UNLAWFULLY USE, AN OBJECT INTENDED OR DESIGNED FOR USE IN STORING, CONCEALING OR INJECTING, INGESTING, INHALING OR OTHERWISE INTRODUCING INTO THE HUMAN BODY, A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: A BLUE CIRCULAR STRAW APPROXIMATELY THREE INCHES LONG, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE, 893.147(1). DEFENDANT DID ALLOW AN UNAUTHORIZED DRIVER TO OPERATOR THE DEFENDANT'S MOTOR VEHICLE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE, 322.36. ON 081016, AT 0930 HOURS, I RESPONDED AS BACK UP FOR DEPUTY STRICKLAND (0583) IN REFERENCE TO HIS TRAFFIC STOP. UPON ARRIVAL, I OBSERVED DEPUTY STRICKLAND PLACE HIS DEFENDANT IN THE REAR OF HIS PATROL VEHICLE, AT WHICH TIME I APPROACHED THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT, IDENTIFIED AS MS MEAGHEN RYAN, FOR HER DRIVER'S LICENSE. I THEN PROCEEDED BACK TO MY VEHICLE TO RUN THE INFORMATION THE DEFENDANT HAD PROVIDED ME. THIS RESULTED IN HER DRIVER'S LICENSE COMING BACK AS VALID. I THEN APPROACHED THE VEHICLE AGAIN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, AND ASKED DEFENDANT RYAN IF SHE HAD KNOWLEDGE THAT THE DRIVER OF HER VEHICLE HAD A SUSPENDED DRIVER'S LICENSE, TO WHICH SHE STATED YES. I THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT TO STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND CONDUCTED A SEARCH OF HER PERSON FOR WEAPONS OR CONTRABAND WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. THE DEFENDANT WAS HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HER BACK AND SEATED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT THEN REQUESTED THAT HER PURSE BE RETRIEVED FROM HER VEHICLE FOR TRANSPORT TO THE DETENTION FACILITY. I RETRIEVED THE DEFENDANT'S PURSE FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND PLACED IT IN THE FRONT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE FOR TRANSPORT WITH THE DEFENDANT. UPON ARRIVAL, I CONDUCTED A SEARCH OF THE DEFENDANT'S PURSE FOR CONTRABAND. THIS REVEALED AN IBUPROFEN PILL BOTTLE CONTAINING THREE (3) WHITE OVAL SHAPED PILLS WITH RED DOTS, ALONG WITH THE NAME ''WATSON'' ON ONE SIDE AND THE NUMBERS, ''3202'' ON THE OTHER SIDE. I THEN CONDUCTED A PILL IDENTIFIER CHECK WHICH RESULTED IN INDENTIFYING THE PILLS AS HYDROCODONE PILLS. ALSO DURING THE SEARCH, I LOCATED A BLUE CIRCULAR STRAW APPROXIMATELY THREE (3) INCHES LONG, CONTAINING A WHITE RESIDUE. I RETRIEVED A METHAMPHETAMINE TEST KIT, AT WHICH TIME I SWABBED THE INSIDE OF THE STRAW AND PLACED IT INSIDE THE TEST KIT. THE SUBSTANCE DID TEST POSITIVE FOR METHAMPHETAMINE. I CONDUCTED A BRIEF INTERVIEW WITH THE DEFENDANT IN REFERENCE TO THE PILLS AND STRAW THAT WERE LOCATED INSIDE HER PURSE. THE DEFENDANT ADMITTED THAT THE PILLS WERE HYDROCODONE, AND THAT SHE USED THE PILLS AND THE STRAW TO INGEST THE SUBSTANCE FOR RECREATIONAL PURPOSES AND HAD NO PRESCRIPTION. THE PILLS WERE PROPERLY PACKAGED AND LATER PLACED INTO EVIDENCE ALONG WITH THE STRAW. THE DEFENDANT WAS TURNED OVER TO DETENTION STAFF FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING, WHERE HER BOND FOR THE CHARGE OF POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE WAS SET AT $2,000.00; HER BOND FOR THE POSSESSION OF PARAPHERNALIA WAS SET AT $500.00 AND HER BOND FOR ALLOWING UNAUTHORIZED DRIVER TO OPERATE HER VEHICLE WAS SET AT $500.00, FOR A TOTAL BOND OF $3,000.00. THE DEFENDANT WAS ALSO ISSUED UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION, A1P2PVP, FOR ALLOWING UNAUTHORIZED DRIVER TO OPERATE HER VEHICLE. |
