| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: CALLAHAN, CRAIG 0643 (AR10116134) DID UNLAWFULLY AND KNOWINGLY HAVE IN HER ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: CANNABIS, COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS MARIJUANA, IN AN AMOUNT OF 20 GRAMS OR LESS, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.13(6)(B). DID, KNOWING HER DRIVER'S LICENSE OR DRIVING PRIVILEGE HAD BEEN CANCELLED, SUSPENDED OR REVOKED, DRIVE A MOTOR VEHICLE UPON HIGHWAYS OF THIS STATE WHILE SUCH LICENSE OR PRIVILEGE WAS CANCELLED, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE, 322.34(2)(A). DID HAVE IN HER 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: THE DEFENDANT DID ATTEMPT TO CONCEAL A PARTIALLY BURNT BRILLO PAD COMMONLY USED FOR THE INGESTION OF CRACK COCAINE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.147(1). ON 080110, AT APPROXIMATELY 0927 HOURS, I WAS SITTING STATIONARY IN THE AREA OF TOWER TRAIL IN FLORAL CITY ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHILE DOING SO I OBSERVED A BLACK CHEVY IMPALA TRAVELING EASTBOUND ON TOWER TRAIL WHICH PASSED ME. UPON OBSERVING THE DRIVER /DEFENDANT, LATER IDENTIFIED AS MS NANCY WOLF, AS SHE PASSED, I COULD SEE THROUGH HER DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW THAT SHE WAS NOT WEARING A SEAT BELT. AT THAT TIME I POSITIONED MY VEHICLE BEHIND THE DEFENDANT, ACTIVATED MY EMERGENCY OVERHEAD EQUIPMENT AND CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP IN THE AREA OF SOUTH GREAT OAKS DRIVE AND EAST WALNUT LANE. UPON MAKING CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT, I REQUESTED HER DRIVER'S LICENSE AND REGISTRATION. UPON DONG SO, SHE HANDED ME A FLORIDA IDENTIFICATION CARD AND STATED TO ME WITHOUT BEING PROMPTED THAT SHE DOES NOT HAVE A DRIVER'S LICENSE BECAUSE IT IS SUSPENDED. SHE FURTHER ADVISED ME THAT THE REASON HER DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED WAS DUE TO HER FAILURE TO PAY MULTIPLE TRAFFIC CITATIONS. I THEN RETURNED TO MY PATROL VEHICLE AND RAN THE DEFENDANT'S INFORMATION THROUGH FCIC/NCIC WHICH CONFIRMED THAT HER DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS INDEED CURRENTLY SUSPENDED. UP0N RETURNING TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, I OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT STUFFING A SMALL PIECE OF CHARRED BRILLO IN HER BRA. UPON OBSERVING THE BRILLO, I IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZED THROUGH MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE IT WAS CONSISTENT WITH THAT OF PARAPHERNALIA COMMONLY USED TO INGEST CRACK COCAINE. UPON THE DEFENDANT OBSERVING ME STANDING BY HER DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW, SHE IMMEDIATELY BECAME NERVOUS AND CONTINUED IN HER ATTEMPT TO CONCEAL THE BRILLO IN HER BRA. AT THAT TIME I IMMEDIATELY GRABBED THE DEFENDANT'S HANDS AS SHE TENSED HER MUSCLES AND PULLED AWAY FROM ME IN A CONTINUED ATTEMPT TO CONCEAL THE PARAPHERNALIA. I WAS THEN ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE DEFENDANT AND REMOVED HER FROM HER VEHICLE WHERE I PLACED HER IN HANDCUFFS, DOUBLE LOCKED, BEHIND HER BACK. I THEN ADVISED HER THAT I WAS PLACING HER UNDER ARREST. A SHORT TIME LATER DEPUTY VENTIMIGLIA ARRIVED ON SCENE AS BACK UP. UPON DEPUTY VENTIMIGLIA ARRIVING ON SCENE, THE DEFENDANT NOTICED A FEMALE DEPUTY WAS PRESENT AND THEN STATED TO ME THAT SHE ALSO HAD CANNABIS IN HER BRA. UPON DEPUTY VENTIMIGLIA SEARCHING THE DEFENDANT REFERENCE TO HER ARREST, A SMALL CLEAR PLASTIC SANDWICH BAGGY CONTAINING A GREEN LEAFY SUBSTANCE WHICH IS KNOWN TO ME THROUGH MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE TO BE CANNABIS WAS LOCATED IN THE DEFENDANT'S BRA AREA. PRIOR TO LEAVING SCENE THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY SCALLY'S TOWING. AT THAT TIME THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY WHERE HER TOTAL BOND WAS SET AT $1,500.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE CANNABIS WAS LATER WEIGHED AND DETERMINED TO HAVE AN APPROXIMATE WEIGHT OF THREE GRAMS. ALL CANNABIS AND PARAPHERNALIA WERE LATER TURNED INTO EVIDENCE. THE DEFENDANT WAS ALSO ISSUED A UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION NUMBER 1147 ESH (9) FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED KNOWINGLY WITH A MANDATORY COURT APPEARANCE AT 081910 AT 1300 HOURS. THE DEFENDANT WAS ALSO ISSUED A WRITTEN WARNING FOR FAILURE TO WEAR HER SAFETY BELT. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
