| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: WEST, ROY 0421 (AR10114938) DID, KNOWING HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE OR DRIVING PRIVILEGE HAD BEEN CANCELLED, SUSPENDED OR REVOKED, DRIVE A MOTOR VEHICLE UPON THE HIGHWAYS OF THIS STATE WHILE SUCH LICENSE OR PRIVILEGE WAS CANCELLED, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 322.34(2)(A). ON 032610, AT APPROXIMATELY 1530 HOURS A CRASH DID OCCUR AT THE INTERSECTION OF 44 AND CROFT AVENUE IN INVERNESS. AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH, THE VICTIM AND THE SUSPECT GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND MADE CONTACT REFERENCE THE CRASH. THE SUSPECT AND THE VICTIM THEN AGREED TO RELOCATE TO AN AREA THAT WAS OFF THE ROAD AND AWAY FROM TRAFFIC TO EXCHANGE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. THE SUSPECT AND THE VICTIM THEN MOVED TO AN AREA LOCATED AT 44 AND BEA AVENUE, WHERE THEY BOTH AGAIN GOT OUT OF THEIR VEHICLES TO EXCHANGE INFORMATION. AT THAT TIME, THE SUSPECT REFUSED TO PROVIDE THE VICTIM WITH ANY INFORMATION REFERENCE HIMSELF OR THE VEHICLE'S INSURANCE TO THE VICTIM, AND INSTEAD GAVE the VICTIM THE VEHICLE'S OWNER (WENDY FIELDS) INFORMATION WITH A TELEPHONE NUMBER. THE VICTIM ADVISED THAT THE SUSPECT HAD A CHILD CRYING IN THE VEHICLE HE WAS DRIVING. THE VICTIM PROCEEDED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE SUSPECT'S VEHICLE TO LOOK INSIDE, WHERE HE OBSERVED A 12 YEAR OLD BOY. AT THAT TIME THE SUSPECT THEN JUMPED IN HIS VEHICLE AND LEFT THE AREA HEADING SOUTHBOUND ON BEA AVENUE. THE 91 YEAR OLD VICTIM THOUGHT THAT HE HAD ENOUGH INFORMATION FOR HIS INSURANCE COMPANY AND PROCEEDED TO TAKE HIS SICK WIFE HOME. HE LATER MADE CONTACT WITH OUR AGENCY IN REFERENCE TO THIS CASE. ON 051910, I DID ATTEMPT TO MAKE CONTACT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WITH THE SUSPECT WHO HIDES HIS VEHICLE BEHIND HIS FENCED IN RESIDENCE. ON 052010 I DID WAIT DOWN THE ROAD FROM THE SUSPECT'S RESIDENCE AT WHICH TIME I DID OBSERVE THE SUSPECT DRIVING AND MADE CONTACT WITH HIM IN HIS DRIVEWAY IN REFERENCE TO THIS CRASH. THE SUSPECT ADVISED THAT HE WAS DRIVING AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH, HOWEVER, HE WAS BARELY MOVING WHEN HE STRUCK THE VICTIM. HE ADVISED HIS FOOT SLIPPED OFF THE BRAKES WHICH RESULTED IN HIS STRIKING THE VICTIM FROM BEHIND. HE ADVISED THAT HE THEN GOT SCARED DUE TO NOT HAVING A DRIVER'S LICENSE. I ADVISED THE SUSPECT THAT I WAS PLACING HIM UNDER ARREST FOR DRIVING ON A SUSPENDED LICENSE KNOWINGLY, AND LEAVING THE SCENE OF A CRASH WITHOUT GIVING INFORMATION. I ALSO ISSUED HIM A WRITTEN CITATION FOR CARELESS DRIVING CAUSING A CRASH AND FOR FAILURE TO INFORM LAW ENFORCEMENT. THE SUSPECT WAS ALSO ISSUED A CITATION FOR FAILURE TO CHANGE HIS ADDRESS ON HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE OR IDENTIFICATION. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN HANDCUFFED WITH A BELLY CHAIN DUE HIS HAVING A RECENT INJURY TO HIS WRIST. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING WHERE HIS TOTAL BOND WAS SET AT $10,500.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
