DEPUTY RITLI LOCATED A SILVER ICE CREAM SCOOPER IN THE CENTER CONSOLE WHICH CONTAINED A WHITE POWDERY RESIDUE INSIDE THE SCOOPER. THE WHITE POWDERY SUBSTANCE WAS CONSISTENT WITH COCAINE. I THEN FIELD TESTED THE WHITE RESIDUE WHICH YIELDED A POSITIVE RESULT TO COCAINE. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED, BEHIND HER BACK, (DOUBLE LOCKED), SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING.
