Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: LYNN, KURT 0349 (AR08105367) ON 092308 AT APPROXIMaTeLY 2143 HOURS, I OBSERVED A GREEN PICKUP TRUCK PULL OUT FROM BUFfALO DRIVE ON TO STATE ROAD 200, TURNING SOUTH. THE VEHICLE CROSSED OVER THE CENTER LANE AND APPEARED TO BE TRAVELING INTO THIS DEPUTY'S LANE OF TRAVEL BEFORE MAKING AN ABRUPT CORRECTION AND RE-ENTERING THE CORRECT LANE OF TRAVEL. I IMMEDIATELY ACTIVATED MY LIGHTS AND ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHiCLE DID NOT STOP AND TURNED RIGHT ONTO PONY EXPRESS AND THEN RIGHT AGAIN ON TO PIONEER. THE VEHICLE FINALLY DID COME TO A STOP APPROXimately ONE HUNDRED FEET SOUTH OF PONY EXPRESS LANE. I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER/DEFENDANT AND OBTAINED HIS DRIVER'S LICeNsE AND THE VEHiCLE REGiSTrATION. THE DRIVER SMELLED OF ALCOHOL AND WAS GIVEN FIELD SOBRIETY TASKS. IT WAS DETERMINED THE DRIVER WAS BORDERLINE INTOXICATED, HOWEVER, HE ASSURED ME HE WOULD GET OR OBTAIN A RIDE HOME, TO WHICH I AGREED. I ISSUED THE DRIVER A CITATION FOR FAILURE TO YIeLD RIGHT OF WAY APPROACHING OR ENTERING AN INTERSECTION AND THEN ASKED THE DRIVER FOR CONSENT TO SEARCH. I ASKED THE DRIVER IF HE HAD ANYTHING IN HIS POCKETS AND IF HE WOULD EMPTY HIS POCKETS ON TO THE HOOD OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. AS THE DRIVER WAS EMPTYING HIS POCKETS, HE THREW ONE HALF OF ONE PINK PRESCRIPTION 500 MILLIGRAM TABLET ON TO THE GROUND FROM HIS RIGHT FRONT SHORTS POCKET. this p\tablet WAS LATER IDENTIFIED AS A GENERIC PRESCRIPTION 500 MILLIGRAM VICODIN PILL. THIS WAS IDENTIFIED BY A DRUG IDENTIFICATION WEBSITE AND BOOKLET AND BY A TELEPHONE CALL FROM the DRIVER'S WIFE WHO STATED THAT HE HAS A PROBLEM WITH PAIN AND OBTAINS THE PILLS FROM HIS WIFE AND HER PRESCRIPTION BOTTLE. THE DRIVER CONFIRMED THIS information POST MIRANDA. THE tablet WAS SEIZED AND A PROPERTY RECEIPT wAS ISSUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM THE SCENE BY ADVANCED TOWING. THE DRIVER APOLOGIZED AND ADMITTED TO POSSESSION OF THE tablet. he WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY WITH BOND SET PER SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
