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: ROLLING PAPERS, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTES 893.145 AND 893.147(1)(B) ON 052315, WHILE SITTING ON LAZY TRAIL IN CRYSTAL RIVER, I OBSERVED A VEHICLE TRAVELING EASTBOUND ON WEST SEVEN RIVERS FARM STREET. I OBSERVED THE VEHICLE AS IT APPROACHED the STOP SIGN AND OBSERVED IT FAIL TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP PRIOR TO PROCEEDING NORTHBOUND ON LAZY TRAIL. AT THAT TIME, I PULLED BEHIND THE VEHICLE AND FOLLOWED IT DOWN LAZY TRAIL TO BASILICO STREET WHERE I PACED IT TRAVELING AT 47 MPH IN A 35 MPH ZONE. THE VEHICLE THEN TURNED SOUTHBOUND ON CITRUS AVENUE. UPON COMING TO DUNKLIN STREET, I CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP ON THE VEHICLE. UPON APPROACHING THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND MAKING CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER (LATER IDENTIFIED AS DEFENDANT ONE), HE IDENTIFIED HIMSELF AS MR SHANNON GOLDEN. HE SPONTANEOUSLY STATED HE DID NOT HAVE A DRIVER'S LICENSE. I ASKED HIM IF HE DID NOT HAVE HIS CARD ON HIM. HE STATED NO SIR; I DO NOT HAVE A DRIVER'S LICENSE AT ALL. WHILE SPEAKING TO THE DRIVER, CANINE DEPUTY LABORDA (0735) ARRIVED ON SCENE. I REQUESTED HE CONDUCT AN EXTERIOR SNIFF OF THE VEHICLE with HIS CANINE. THE PASSENGER PROVIDED A DRIVER'S LICENSE WHICH IDENTIFIED HER AS MS MELISSA HENNESSEY (DEFENDANT TWO). DEPUTY SCHAFFER (0652) WAS STANDING AT THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE TO KEEP EYES ON the OCCUPANTS WHILE DEPUTY LABORDA RETRIEVED HIS CANINE. WHILE HE WAS DOING SO, DEFENDANT HENNESSEY STEPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE QUICKLY, TURNING HER BACK TO DEPUTY SCHAFFER, AND APPEARED TO PUT SOMETHING INSIDE HER MOUTH. DEPUTY SCHAFFER DID OBSERVE HER HAND GOING TO HER MOUTH AND SHE REFUSED TO TURN HER HEAD TO HIM. DEPUTY SCHAFFER REQUESTED SHE OPEN HER MOUTH TO SHOW HIM WHAT WAS INSIDE. AT THAT TIME I OBSERVED DEFENDANT HENNESSEY TO SHUT HER MOUTH TIGHTER AND SWALLOW BEFORE COMPLYING WITH DEPUTY SCHAFFER'S REQUEST. AT THAT TIME, DEPUTY SCHAFFER DETAINED HER PENDING FURTHER INVESTIGATION. DEPUTY LABORDA WALKED his CANINE AROUND THE VEHICLE. AFTER DOING SO, HE ADVISED HIS CANINE HAD ALERTED TO THE VEHICLE AND A HAND SEARCH MAY BE CONDUCTED. SHORTLY AFTER, DEPUTY LABORDA, WHO WAS SEARCHING THE VEHICLE, FOUND MARIJUANA IN A PURSE BELONGING TO DEFENDANT HENNESSEY. THE PURSE ALSO CONTAINED NUMEROUS OTHER ITEMS BELONGING TO DEFENDANT HENNESSEY. DEFENDANT HENNESSEY WAS ADVISED SHE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HER BACK. I RAN DEFENDANT GOLDEN'S DRIVER'S LICENSE THROUGH THE DRIVER AND VEHICLE INFORMATION DATABASE SYSTEM (DAVID) WHICH SHOWED HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS REVOKED ON 020708 FOR FAILURE TO PAY TRAFFIC FINES. IT WAS REVEALED HE HAS HAD FIVE PREVIOUS DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED CHARGES. I ADVISED DEFENDANT GOLDEN HE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST. DEFENDANT GOLDEN WAS THEN HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK AND PLACED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. DEFENDANT HENNESSEY WAS PATTED DOWN FOR CONTRABAND PRIOR TO BEING PLACED IN DEPUTY SCHAFFER'S PATROL VEHICLE. UPON SEARCHING HER RIGHT FRONT POCKET, ANOTHER BAGGIE OF MARIJUANA WAS FOUND WITH ROLLING PAPERS. BOTH DEFENDANTS WERE TRANSPORTED TO CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. A CRIMINAL HISTORY CHECK WAS COMPLETED ON DEFENDANT GOLDEN WHICH SHOWED FOUR PREVIOUS DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED OR REVOKED CONVICTIONS ON 072907, 122707, 051308, AND 030407. DEFENDANT GOLDEN WAS ISSUED UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION NUMBER A1BU2ZP FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED OR REVOKED with A MANDATORY COURT DATE OF 061115 AT 1300 HOURS AT CITRUS COUNTY COURT HOUSE. DEFENDANT GOLDEN WAS ALSO ISSUED WRITTEN WARNING NUMBER 361792B FOR RUNNING A STOP SIGN AND WRITTEN WARNING NUMBER 361793B FOR UNLAWFUL SPEED. the MARIJUANA AND ROLLING PAPERS WEIGHED APPROXIMATELY THREE GRAMS. THEY WERE PACKAGED AND TURNED IN TO EVIDENCE AT EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER BY DEPUTY SCHAFFER. DEFENDANT HENNESSEY WAS RELEASED ON HER OWN RECOGNIZANCE. |
