| Date of birth: | Nov 7, 1966 |
| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: ALEXANDER, DAWN 0561 (AR0106265) did, knowing HER 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)(a). ON 111408, MYSELF AND DEPUTY CRIDLAND WERE CONDUCTING TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT IN THE AREA OF NORTHEAST 6TH STREET AND HIGHWAY 19 IN THE CITY OF CRYSTAL RIVER. I WAS FACING TOWARDS THE MALL ENTRANCE EXIT ON NORTHWEST 6TH STREET WHEN I OBSERVED A WHITE TWO DOOR CHEVY FAIL TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT THE STOP SIGN. THE VEHICLE TRAVELED TO THE TRAFFIC LIGHT ON NORTHEAST 6TH STREET AND HIGHWAY 19. AS SHE PROCEEDED TO GO THROUGH THE GREEN LIGHT I BACKED OUT AND GOT BEHIND HER AND INITIATED A TRAFFIC STOP. THE VEHICLE PULLED OVER AT 19 AND THE PARKING LOT OF THE BEST WESTERN HOTEL. DEPUTY CRIDLAND WAS BEHIND ME. I THEN APPROACHED THE VEHICLE AND ASKED THE DRIVER FOR HER LICENSE REGISTRATION AND PROOF OF INSURANCE. SHE HANDED ME A DRIVERS LICENSE IDENTIFYING HER AS MS MICHELE SMITH AND A REGISTRATION THAT EXPIRED ON 110707. SHE ADVISED ME THAT SHE HAD INSURANCE, BUT THAT SHE DID NOT HAVE HER INSURANCE CARD ON HER. I PROCEEDED BACK TO MY VEHICLE AND RAN AN FCIC/NCIC CHECK ALONG WITH A CHECK OF HER VEHICLE TAG THAT EXPIRED ON 110708. IT ALSO ADVISED ME THAT SHE HAD AN EXPIRED TAG AND SUSPENDED LICENSE FOR NOT CARRYING INSURANCE ON HER VEHICLE. I THEN PLACED MS SMITH UNDER ARREST because "DAVID" ADVISED THAT SHE DID RECEIVE NOTICE ON 101008. SHE WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. WHILE EN ROUTE MS SMITH ADVISED ME that SHE DID HAVE INSURANCE AND THAT HER HUSBAND WAS NOW THE PRIMARY CARRIER AND THAT SHE HAD SENT HER TAG IN TO BE RENEWED, BUT HAS NOT RECEIVED THE NOTICE BACK YET. I DID LOOK IN "DAVID" AND VERIFIED THAT HER HUSBAND DOES HAVE INSURANCE AS OF 111108, AND I ADVISED MS SMITH THAT SHE NEEDED TO PRODUCE PROOF WHEN SHE GOES TO HER COURT DATE. SHE ADVISED THAT SHE WOULD CONTINUE TO CALL GEICO because SHE HAD TALKED TO THEM TWICE. ONCE WHEN SHE RECEIVED NOTICE THAT HER LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED AND ONCE ON 111008 WHEN SHE KNEW THAT IT WAS THE DAY OF THE SUSPENSION. SHE ADVISED ME THAT GEICO ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD SEND ANOTHER NOTICE TO THE STATE. I ADVISED HER TO BRING IN HER DOCUMENTATION TO COURT. I ISSUED HER CITATION NUMBER 2041-ECH FOR DRIVING ON A SUSPENDED LICENSE AND SHE WAS GIVEN A COURT DATE OF 120408 AT 1300 HOURS. HER VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM THE SCENE BY ADAM'S TOWING. MS SMITH SAID THAT SHE HAS BEEN ARRESTED PRIOR FOR DRIVING ON A SUSPENDED LICENSE, BUT THE CHARGES WERE DROPPED. IT DID SHOW IN "DAVID" THAT SHE HAD BEEN ARRESTED PRIOR FOR DRIVING ON A SUSPENDED LICENSE. I REDUCED THE BOND TO $250.00 DUE TO HER SAYING SHE HAD INSURANCE. NO FURTHER INFORMATION AT THIS TIME. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
