DID UNLAWFULLY RESIST, OBSTRUCT OR OPPOSE DEPUTY MILLER, WHO WAS THEN AND THERE IN THE LAWFUL EXECUTION OF A LEGAL DUTY, OR EXECUTION OF LEGAL PROCESS, TO WIT: THE DEFENDANT RAN ON FOOT AFTER I CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP ON HIM, WITHOUT OFFERING OR DOING VIOLENCE TO THE PERSON OF SUCH OFFICER, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 843.02. DID, KNOWING HIS DRIVERâS 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 STATE STATUTE 322.34(2)(A). ON 042117 WHILE CONDUCTING ROUTINE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT WITHIN MY ZONE, I OBSERVED A WHITE MALE DRIVING A MOTORIZED SCOOTER SOUTHBOUND ON SOUTH JEFFERSON STREET, IN BEVERLY HILLS, WITHOUT A LICENSE PLATE. UPON APPROACHING SOUTH JEFFERSON STREET AND ROSE AVENUE, I ACTIVATED MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS TO CONDUCT A TRAFFIC STOP FOR THE MOTORIZED SCOOTER NOT HAVING A LICENSE PLATE. THE SCOOTER CONTINUED SOUTHBOUND ON SOUTH JEFFERSON STREET AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED AND UPON REACHING THE NEXT INTERSECTION OF SOUTH JEFFERSON STREET AND SOUTH PLAZA STREET, THE DEFENDANT LATER IDENTIFIED AS MR NICHOLAS LATRAVERSE FELL OFF OF HIS SCOOTER AND BEGAN TO RUN ON FOOT SOUTHBOUND FROM THAT LOCATION. AT THAT TIME, I INITIATED A FOOT PURSUIT SOUTHBOUND FROM THAT LOCATION AND THE DEFENDANT WAS APPREHENDED SHORTLY AFTER IN THE SIDE YARD OF 34 CROWLEY COURT, IN BEVERLY HILLS. AT THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED IN HANDCUFFS, DOUBLE-LOCKED, BEHIND HIS BACK AND DETAINED FOR MY SAFETY. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN ESCORTED TO DEPUTY INDORATO'S (0712) VEHICLE AND I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF THERE WAS ANYTHING ILLEGAL ON HIS PERSON OR IN HIS BACKPACK, THE DEFENDANT THEN STATED HE HAD A SACK OF WEED LOCATED ON HIS PERSON. UPON SEARCHING THE DEFENDANT'S PERSON, I LOCATED TWO BLACK SCALES AND ONE BLACK PIPE THAT WAS COMMONLY USED TO SMOKE MARIJUANA THAT CONTAINED A BURNT RESIDUE, HOWEVER NO OTHER ITEMS WERE FOUND ON HIS PERSON. A SHORT TIME LATER DEPUTY QUINN (1241) ADVISED THAT HE FOUND A PURPLE AND GOLD CROWN ROYAL BAG IN THE BACKYARD WHERE THE DEFENDANT HAD RAN TO LOCATED AT 34 CROWLEY COURT. INSIDE THE PURPLE AND GOLD CROWN ROYAL BAG WAS A CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE CONTAINING A GREEN LEAFY SUBSTANCE THAT I COULD IDENTIFY THROUGH MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE TO BE MARIJUANA WAS LOCATED. A RED AND WHITE ALTOID CONTAINER WAS ALSO LOCATED AND INSIDE THE ALTOID CONTAINER WAS A CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE CONTAINING A CLEAR CRYSTAL-LIKE SUBSTANCE THAT THROUGH MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE I COULD IDENTIFY TO POSSIBLY BE METHAMPHETAMINE. ALSO LOCATED WITHIN THE PURPLE AND GOLD CROWN ROYAL BAG WAS A CLEAR PURPLE PLASTIC BAGGIE THAT CONTAINED MULTIPLE PILLS AND A WHITE AND BLACK RUBBER CONTAINER THAT CONTAINED A BROWN SUBSTANCE. AT THAT TIME, THE CRYSTAL LIKE SUBSTANCE WAS FIELD TESTED UTILIZING AN AGENCY ISSUED FIELD TEST KIT, WHICH YIELDED A POSITIVE RESULT FOR THE PRESENCE OF METHAMPHETAMINE. THE GREEN LEAFY SUBSTANCE WAS ALSO FIELD TESTED UTILIZING AN AGENCY ISSUED FIELD TEST KIT, WHICH YIELDED POSITIVE A RESULT FOR MARIJUANA. THE BURNT RESIDUE ON THE BLACK SMOKING PIPE WAS FIELD TESTED, UTILIZING AN AGENCY ISSUED FIELD TEST KIT, WHICH YIELDED A POSITIVE REACTION FOR THE PRESENCE OF MARIJUANA. THE BROWN SUBSTANCE LOCATED WITHIN THE BLACK AND WHITE RUBBER CONTAINER, WAS TESTED UTILIZING AN AGENCY ISSUED FIELD TEST KIT WHICH YIELDED A POSITIVE RESULT FOR THE PRESENCE OF MARIJUANA. THE RESIDUE ON BOTH SCALES WAS TESTED UTILIZING AN AGENCY ISSUED FIELD TEST KIT AND BOTH YIELDED POSITIVE FOR THE PRESENCE OF MARIJUANA. I THEN WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE PILLS THAT WERE LOCATED WITHIN THE PURPLE PLASTIC BAGGIE ON PILLS.COM. THE PILLS LOCATED WITHIN THE BAGGIE WERE TEN WHOLE AND TWO ONE HALF PILLS OF 1MG ALPRAZOLAM, WHICH IS A SCHEDULE FOUR NARCOTIC, THREE 30MG MORPHINE SULFATE EXTENDED RELEASE PILLS, WHICH IS A SCHEDULE TWO NARCOTIC, AND ONE 30 MG MORPHINE SULFATE SR PILL WHICH IS A SCHEDULE TWO NARCOTIC. I THEN RAN THE DEFENDANT'S IDENTIFICATION CARD THROUGH THE CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE TELETYPE, AT WHICH TIME IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE DEFENDANT'S DRIVER'S LICENSE HAD BEEN SUSPENDED ON 031416. AT THAT TIME, I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT THAT HE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR TWO COUNTS OF POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, ONE COUNT OF POSSESSION OF CANNABIS, UNDER 20 GRAMS, ONE COUNT DRUG PARAPHERNALIA, ONE COUNT OF RESISTING LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER WITHOUT VIOLENCE, AND ONE COUNT OF DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED, KNOWINGLY. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANT WAS ISSUED A CRIMINAL FLORIDA UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION A1BU9MP FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED, KNOWINGLY, WITH A MANDATORY COURT DATE OF 051117 AT 1300 HOURS. THE DEFENDANT WAS ALSO GIVEN A VERBAL WARNING FOR OPERATING AN UNREGISTERED MOTOR VEHICLE UPON THE ROADWAY. THE DEFENDANT WAS CHARGED WITH TWO COUNTS OF POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE WITH A BOND AMOUNT OF $2,000.00 FOR EACH COUNT ($4,000.00), PER THE BOND SCHEDULE, ONE COUNT OF POSSESSION OF CANNABIS, LESS THAN 20 GRAMS WITH A BOND AMOUNT OF $1,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE, ONE COUNT OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA WITH A BOND AMOUNT OF $1,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE, ONE COUNT OF RESISTING A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER WITHOUT VIOLENCE, WITH A BOND AMOUNT OF $1,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE AND ONE COUNT OF DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED, KNOWINGLY, WITH A BOND AMOUNT OF $500.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE DEFENDANT'S TOTAL BOND WAS SET AT $7,500.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. I COLLECTED ALL ILLEGAL ITEMS IN THIS CASE AND LATER TURNED THEM IN TO CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE EVIDENCE. NO FURTHER ACTION TAKEN AT THIS TIME. |
