| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: POLLARD, RANDALL 0677 (AR10115608) 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 Statute 322.34(2). ON 070110 AT APPROXIMATELY 0225 HOURS I WAS DRIVING SOUTHBOUND ON NORTH SUNCOAST BOULEVARD IN THE AREA OF FORT ISLAND TRAIL. UPON OBSERVING A DARK GREEN HARLEY DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLE, WHICH WAS LOCATED IN THE PASSING LANE HEADING SOUTHBOUND ALSO, I RAN THE TAG ON THAT MOTORCYCLE, TO WHICH IT CAME BACK EXPIRED ON 051410. AT THAT TIME I CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP ON THAT MOTORCYCLE AT THE ADDRESS OF 794 NORTH SUNCOAST BOULEVARD. AT WHICH TIME I MADE CONTACT with the DRIVER and IDENTIFIED myself AND THE AGENCY I WORKED FOR. I THEN ASKED THE DRIVER, NOW IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT, MR MICHAEL SHEREN, IF HE KNEW HIS REGISTRATION WAS EXPIRED TO WHICH HE STATED, "I AM NOT GOING TO LIE TO YOU, I DID KNOW MY REGISTRATION WAS EXPIRED". I THEN ASKED MR SHEREN FOR HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE, TO WHICH HE STATED HE DID NOT HAVE ONE. MR SHEREN THEN STATED THAT HIS LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED FOR FAILURE TO PAY TRAFFIC FINES. AT THAT TIME I OBTAINED MR SHEREN'S INFORMATION THROUGH OUR D.A.V.I.D. SYSTEM, TO WHICH IT SHOWED HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED ON 112607 IN the STATE OF OHIO FOR A DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE CHARGE. IT ALSO SHOWED MR SHEREN WAS CONVICTED OF DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED OR REVOKED ON 050208 IN the STATE OF MICHIGAN. MR SHEREN DID NOT HAVE A MOTORCYCLE ENDORSEMENT, DUE TO THE FACT THAT HE HELD A FLORIDA IDENTIFICATION CARD ONLY. AT THAT TIME I INFORMED ME SHEREN I WOULD BE PLACING HIM UNDER ARREST FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED OR REVOKED WITH KNOWLEDGE. MR SHEREN WAS THEN HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK, PLACED IN the REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. MR SHEREN WAS ALSO ISSUED TWO CRIMINAL TRAFFIC CITATIONS, THE FIRST BEING CITATION NUMBER 7886-FRY-9, FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED OR REVOKED WITH KNOWLEDGE, WITH A MANDATORY COURT DATE OF 072210 AT 1300 HOURS. HE WAS ALSO ISSUED CITATION NUMBER 7887-FRY-X, FOR DRIVING A MOTORCYCLE WITH NO MOTORCYCLE ENDORSEMENT, WITH A MANDATORY COURT DATE OF 072210 AT 1300 HOURS. MR SHEREN WAS ALSO ISSUED A UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION, NUMBER 7888-FRY-X, FOR EXPIRED REGISTRATION WITH A FINE OF $113.00, PAYABLE WITHIN 30 DAYS. MR SHEREN'S COPIES OF EACH CITATION WILL BE PLACED INTO HIS PROPERTY AT THE COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. MR SHEREN'S HARLEY DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLE WAS LEFT IN the BUSINESS PARKING LOT AT 794 NORTH SUNCOAST BOULEVARD, AT HIS REQUEST. COPIES OF THE CITATIONS ISSUED TO MR SHEREN WILL BE TURNED IN TO RECORDS AT THE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
