ON 121508 AT APPROXIMATELY 2215 HOURS WHILE CONDUCTING EXTRA PATROL IN THE AREA OF NORTH NIGHTHAWK TERRACE AND WEST RIVER ROAD, I OBSERVED TWO WHITE MALE SUBJECTS WALKING NORTH ON NORTH NIGHTHAWK TERRACE. I MADE CONTACT WITH BOTH WHITE MALE SUBJECTS DUE TO A HIGH AMOUNT OF RESIDENTIAL BURGLARIES AND NARCOTIC ACTIVITY IN THE AREA. UPON MAKING CONTACT, BOTH WHITE MALE SUBJECTS STATED THEY WERE COMING FROM A FRIEND'S HOUSE DOWN THE ROAD AND HEADING BACK TO THEIR RESIDENCE. I ASKED BOTH WHITE MALE SUBJECTS TO PROVIDE ME WITH IDENTIFICATION, AND THEY BOTH HANDED ME FLORIDA IDENTIFICATION CARDS. I CONDUCTED A CRIMINAL HISTORY CHECK ON BOTH WHITE MALE SUBJECTS AND IT WAS REVEALED THAT THE DEFENDANT, LATER IDENTIFIED AS MR PAUL FLOYD SCHOTT, JUNIOR, HAD RECENTLY BEEN RELEASED FROM INCARCERATION ON A CHARGE OF RESIDENTIAL BURGLARY. UPON OBTAINING THIS INFORMATION VIA TELETYPE, BOTH WHITE MALE SUBJECTS WERE ASKED IF THEY HAD ANY ILLEGAL ITEMS ON THEIR PERSONS, TO WHICH THEY BOTH STATED NO. I ASKED FOR CONSENT TO SEARCH THEIR PERSONS FOR ANY ILLEGAL WEAPONS OR NARCOTICS, AT WHICH TIME CONSENT WAS GRANTED. UPON CONDUCTING A SEARCH OF THE DEFENDANT'S PERSON, A BLACK DIGITAL SCALE, ROLLING PAPERS AND TWO GLASS CRACK COCAINE SMOKING PIPES WITH COCAINE RESIDUE INSIDE OF THE PIPES WERE LOCATED IN THE DEFENDANT'S RIGHT REAR JEAN SHORTS POCKET. UPON LOCATING THESE ITEMS OF NARCOTICS PARAPHERNALIA, THE DEFENDANT ADVISED THE ITEMS BELONGED TO HIM AND THAT HE SMOKED CRACK COCAINE SEVERAL TIMES A MONTH. THE NARCOTICS PARAPHERNALIA WAS COLLECTED AND PACKAGED FOR LATER TRIAL PURPOSES AND TURNED IN TO EVIDENCE. A PROPERTY RECEIPT WAS COMPLETED AND SIGNED BY THE DEFENDANT, ACKNOWLEDGING OWNERSHIP OF THE NARCOTICS PARAPHERNALIA. THE PROPERTY RECEIPT WAS ALSO LATER TURNED IN TO EVIDENCE. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK, SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE DETENTION FACILITY, THE DEFENDANT WAS CHARGED WITH ONE COUNT OF POSSESSION OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA WITH BOND SET AT $500.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
