submitted by: TULLY, JAMES 1342 (AR16-21719) \t\t FLORES, DAVID 1439 DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HIS ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: FOUR BUPRENORPHINE HYDROCHLORIDE (8MG), A SCHEDULE III CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.13(6)(A). DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HIS 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: TINFOIL WITH BURNT HEROIN RESIDUE AND STRAWS WITH BURNT HEROIN RESIDUE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.147(1). ON 112216, I WAS CONDUCTING TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT IN THE AREA OF NORTH CARL G ROSE HIGHWAY AND LECANTO HIGHWAY, WHEN I OBSERVED A RED DODGE DURANGO WITH AN INOPERABLE TAG LIGHT HEADING SOUTHBOUND ON NORTH CARL G ROSE HIGHWAY. I ATTEMPTED TO GET BEHIND THE VEHICLE AS IT TURNED SOUTHBOUND ON NORTH LECANTO HIGHWAY. UPON POSITIONING MY MARKED AGENCY PATROL VEHICLE BEHIND THE VEHICLE, BEARING FLORIDA LICENSE PLATE 6868UE, I CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP ON THAT VEHICLE AT NORTH LECANTO HIGHWAY AND NORTH DAWSON DRIVE. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER, LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT, MR MICHAEL DAVID SULLIVAN, AND THE PASSENGER, LATER IDENTIFIED AS MS NICOLE MARIE JOHNSON. I INTRODUCED MYSELF AS DEPUTY TULLY WITH THE CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFFâS OFFICE AND INFORMED THE DEFENDANT THE REASON FOR THE TRAFFIC STOP, TO which HE STATED HE UNDERSTOOD. I THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT FOR HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE, VEHICLE REGISTRATION, AND PROOF OF INSURANCE, TO WHICH HE PROVIDED. AFTER RUNNING THE VEHICLE INFORMATION THROUGH FCIC/NCIC, IT REVEALED THAT THE DEFENDANTâS VEHICLEâS REGISTRATION WAS EXPIRED. AT THAT TIME, DEPUTY DONCOURT (1396) ARRIVED ON SCENE AND I REQUESTED K-9 DEPUTY RITLI (0426) TO RESPOND TO MY LOCATION. UPON K-9 DEPUTY RITLIâS ARRIVAL, HE DEPLOYED HIS K-9 PARTNER, K-9 KHAOS, FOR AN EXTERIOR SNIFF OF ILLEGAL NARCOTICS IN THE VEHICLE. AFTER DEPLOYING HIS K-9 PARTNER, K-9 DEPUTY RITLI INFORMED ME THAT HIS K-9 PARTNER ALERTED TO THE VEHICLE; SEE K-9 DEPUTY RITLIâS SUPPLEMENT. AT THAT TIME, I HAD THE DEFENDANT AND MS JOHNSON EXIT THE VEHICLE, WHERE A PAT DOWN SEARCH WAS CONDUCTED ON BOTH SUBJECTS. A SEARCH WAS THEN CONDUCTED OF THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. A PILL WITH THE IMPRINT âM 924â WAS LOCATED ON THE DRIVERâS SIDE FLOORBOARD. I RESEARCHED DRUGS.COM AND LEARNED THAT THE PILL WAS BUPRENORPHINE HYDROCHLORIDE (8MG), A SCHEDULE III CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE. I ALSO LOCATED SEVERAL PIECES OF TINFOIL WITH BURNT HEROIN RESIDUE, ALONG WITH SEVERAL STRAWS THAT ALSO HAD BURNT HEROIN RESIDUE INSIDE THE VEHICLE. INSIDE MS JOHNSONâS PURSE A STRAW WITH RESIDUE AND TWO BURNT CANNABIS JOINTS WERE LOCATED. THE DRUG PARAPHERNALIA WAS FIELD TESTED UTILIZING AN AGENCY ISSUED TEST KIT, WHICH TESTED POSITIVE FOR THE PRESENCE OF HEROIN. THE CANNABIS WAS ALSO FIELD TESTED UTILIZING AN AGENCY ISSUED TEST KIT, WHICH TESTED POSITIVE FOR THE PRESENCE OF CANNABIS. I THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE HAD ANY MORE ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES IN THE VEHICLE OR ON HIS PERSON, TO WHICH HE ADVISED THAT HE HAD MORE PILLS IN HIS LEFT SOCK. THE DEFENDANT THEN REMOVED HIS LEFT SHOE AND SOCK AND THREE MORE WHITE PILLS FELL ON THE GROUND FROM HIS SOCK. THE PILLS WERE THEN RESEARCHED BY THE MARKINGS âM 924â ON DRUGS.COM, WHICH WERE DISCOVERED TO BE BUPRENORPHINE HYDROCHLORIDE (8MG), A SCHEDULE III CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE. AT THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT WAS ADVISED THAT HE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE AND POSSESSION OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED IN HANDCUFFS (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK AND SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT WAS ISSUED WRITTEN WARNING, WARNING NUMBER 343252B, FOR THE EXPIRED LICENSE PLATE. HE WAS ALSO ISSUED WRITTEN WARNING, WARNING NUMBER 343251B, FOR THE INOPERABLE TAG LIGHT. THE DEFENDANTâS VEHICLE WAS SECURED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AT HIS REQUEST. MS JOHNSON WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST BY DEPUTY DONCOURT; SEE DEPUTY DONCOURTâS REPORT. THE NARCOTICS AND DRUG PARAPHERNALIA WERE COLLECTED BY DEPUTY DONCOURT TO BE TURNED IN TO EVIDENCE. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY, THE DEFENDANT WAS TURNED OVER TO STAFF FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANTâS BOND WAS SET AT $2,000.00 FOR POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE AND $1,000.00 FOR POSSESSION OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA. THE DEFENDANTâS TOTAL BOND WAS SET AT $3,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
