Probable cause affidavit: SUBMITTED BY: RAMOS, ROBALDO 0515 (AR08106608) did then and there unlawfully carry a concealed weapon or electric weapon or device on or about HIS person, to-wit: A SMITH & WESSON .38 SPECIAL, in violation of Florida Statute 790.01(1), AND DID unlawfulLY have in his care, custody, possession, or control any firearm, ammunition, or electric weapon or device, or to carry a concealed weapon, including a tear gas gun or chemical weapon or device, if that person has been Convicted of a felony, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 790.23(1)(A). ON 120808, I WAS DISPATCHED TO 2290 WEST AUSTIN DRIVE, CITRUS SPRINGS, IN REFERENCE TO A DISTURBANCE IN PROGRESS. WHILE EN ROUTE, DISPATCH ADVISED THERE WAS A WHITE MALE WEARING A BLUE PLAID SHIRT ARGUING WITH A WHITE FEMALE. DISPATCH CONTINUED TO ADVISE THAT THE MALE AND FEMALE WERE STILL ARGUING AND THE COMPLAINANT HAD ADVISED DISPATCH THAT FIVE GUNSHOTS HAD JUST BEEN HEARD. PRIOR TO MY ARRIVAL, DISPATCH ADVISED THAT BOTH PARTIES WERE NOW IN FRONT OF THE RESIDENCE LOADING PILLOWS INTO A WHITE VEHICLE. UPON MY ARRIVAL, I OBSERVED A WHITE FEMALE AND A WHITE MALE WHO FIT THE DESCRIPTION THAT THE COMPLAINANT HAD PROVIDED. I ADVISED THEM THERE HAD BEEN A CALL TO 9-1-1 REFERENCE THEM ARGUING, AND THEY BOTH ADVISED THEY HAD NOT BEEN ARGUING AND NOTHING WAS GOING ON. I ASKED BOTH PARTIES FOR IDENTIFICATION SO I KNEW WHO I WAS TALKING TO AND SO THAT I COULD COMPLETE A FIELD INTERVIEW REPORT. THE MALE SUBJECT WAS IDENTIFIED AS MR PATRICK BARTON (DEFENDANT) BY HIS FLORIDA DRIVER'S LICENSE, AND THE FEMALE WAS IDENTIFIED AS MS TERRY STAFFORD (CO-DEFENDANT) BY HER FLORIDA DRIVER'S LICENSE. I PROVIDED TELETYPE WITH THEIR DRIVER'S LICENSE NUMBERS SO THAT A WANTS AND WARRANTS CHECK COULD BE CONDUCTED REFERENCE THE SUBJECTS. AS I WAS AWAITING A RESPONSE FROM TELETYPE, I ASKED THE CO-DEFENDANT (MS TERRY STAFFORD) TO SPEAK WITH ME BY MY PATROL VEHICLE. I ASKED THE CO-DEFENDANT WHAT WAS GOING ON, AND SHE STATED THEY HAD JUST BEEN ARGUING. AS I WAS TALKING TO THE CO-DEFENDANT, I COULD SMELL A STRONG ODOR OF AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE EMITTING FROM HER BREATH AND PERSON. I THEN ASKED THE CO-DEFENDANT TO WAIT BY MY PATROL VEHICLE SO THAT I COULD SPEAK WITH MR BARTON. I ASKED MR BARTON WHAT WAS GOING ON, AND HE REPLIED NOTHING. I ASKED HIM WHY THE CO-DEFENDANT HAD TOLD ME THEY HAD BEEN ARGUING, AND HE SAID HE DID NOT KNOW. AS I WAS TALKING TO MR BARTON, I COULD ALSO SMELL A STRONG ODOR OF AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE EMITTING FROM HIS BREATH AND PERSON. I ASKED MR BARTON IF HE HAD BEEN DRINKING, AND HE STATED HE HAD BEEN DRINKING A LITTLE. I THEN ASKED MR BARTON IF HE WOULD MIND IF I PATTED HIM DOWN FOR ANY WEAPONS SINCE THERE HAD BEEN GUNSHOTS HEARD COMING FROM THE RESIDENCE, AND HE REPLIED HE HAD NO PROBLEM WITH ME PATTING HIM DOWN. I HAD MR BARTON PLACE HIS HANDS ON THE CO-DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE WHICH WAS PARKED NEXT TO ME. ONCE BOTH HIS HANDS WERE ON TOP OF THE VEHICLE, I ASKED IF HE HAD ANY WEAPONS OR ANYTHING THAT WOULD STICK ME, AT WHICH TIME, HE STATED HE HAD A WEAPON. HE THEN STARTED TO REACH WITH HIS RIGHT HAND TOWARDS HIS RIGHT FRONT JEAN POCKET, AT WHICH TIME, I GRABBED HIS RIGHT WRIST AND PLACED HIS HAND BACK ON TOP OF THE VEHICLE AND TOLD HIM NOT TO REACH FOR IT, AS I WOULD REMOVE IT. ONCE I LET GO OF HIS RIGHT WRIST, MR BARTON AGAIN ATTEMPTED TO REACH FOR THE WEAPON IN HIS FRONT RIGHT JEAN POCKET. I AGAIN GRABBED HIS RIGHT WRIST AND PLACED IT ON TOP OF THE VEHICLE AND I THEN REACHED IN HIS FRONT RIGHT POCKET AND LOCATED A BLUE STEEL REVOLVER, WHICH WAS IN A BROWN HOLSTER. I PLACED THE REVOLVER ON THE GROUND, AT WHICH TIME, MR BARTON STATED THE WEAPON WAS NOT LOADED. I THEN ADVISED MR BARTON THAT HE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR POSSESSION OF A CONCEALED WEAPON. I THEN HANDCUFFED HIM BEHIND HIS BACK (DOUBLE LOCKED), AND PLACED HIM IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE TELETYPE THEN ADVISED ME THAT MR PATRICK BARTON HAD BEEN CONVICTED OF ROBBERY IN CALIFORNIA. I TOOK POSSESSION OF THE FIREARM DESCRIBED AS A SMITH & WESSON .38 SPECIAL, WITH A WOODEN HANDLE (SERIAL # BHH8284). I CHECKED THE FIREARM AND IT WAS NOT LOADED. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE FIREARM HAD A STRONG ODOR OF GUN POWDER AS IF IT HAD JUST BEEN FIRED. I THEN HAD TELETYPE CHECK THE WEAPON IN FCIC/NCIC WHICH CAME BACK CLEAR. IT SHOULD BE NOTED that THE CO-DEFENDANT ADVISED THE FIREARM WAS HERS. THE FIREARM WILL BE PLACED IN EVIDENCE. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THERE WAS A FULL GLASS OF AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE WITH ICE SITTING IN THE CENTER CONSOLE OF THE CO-DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE. CORPORAL CORBIN ALSO LOCATED ANOTHER FULL GLASS OF AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE WITH ICE SITTING ON THE KITCHEN COUNTER. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT WHERE THE SHELL CASINGS TO THE GUN WERE AND HE STATED THEY WERE IN THE TRASH CAN INSIDE THE RESIDENCE. CORPORAL CORBIN CHECKED THE TRASH CAN LOCATED IN THE KITCHEN WHILE I CHECKED the TRASH CAN LOCATED IN THE FLORIDA ROOM. THE TRASH CAN IN THE FLORIDA ROOM HAD A BLACK PIECE OF WOOD ON TOP OF IT AND ONCE I REMOVED THE PIECE OF WOOD, I OBSERVED SEVERAL CASINGS INSIDE THE TRASH CAN. CORPORAL CORBIN PHOTOGRAPHED THE CASINGS INSIDE THE TRASH CAN AND HE THEN REMOVED THEM FROM THE TRASH CAN. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY AND CHARGED WITH POSSESSION OF A CONCEALED FIREARM AND POSSESSION OF A WEAPON BY A CONVICTED FELON, WITH TOTAL BOND SET AT $11,000.00. *NOT-EXEMPT*
