ON 120410 AT APPROXIMATELY 0000 HOURS, I WAS PATROLLING THE AREA OF NE 5TH TERRACE OFF OF HIGHWAY 44 IN CRYSTAL RIVER WHERE I CAME UPON A BLUE IN COLOR DODGE PICKUP TRUCK PARKED IN THE MIDDLE OF NE 5TH TERRACE WITH ITS ENGINE RUNNING. I ALSO OBSERVED A FEMALE OCCUPANT BEHIND THE DRIVER'S SEAT NOT WEARING A SEAT BELT. AS I APPROACHED THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO DRIVE FORWARD. I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER WHERE I OBSERVED TWO OTHER OCCUPANTS IN THE FRONT SEAT. I ASKED THE DRIVER WHAT SHE WAS DOING, TO WHICH SHE ADVISED THAT THEY HAD STOPPED MOMENTARILY TO HELP SOMEONE GET THEIR CAR OFF OF THE ROAD. I THEN ASKED THE DRIVER FOR HER DRIVER'S LICENSE AND MOVED MY PATROL VEHICLE TO BEHIND HER VEHICLE AND CALLED OUT ON A TRAFFIC STOP. WHILE I WAS SPEAKING WITH THE DRIVER, I DID DETECT AN ODOR OF MARIJUANA EMITTING FROM THE VEHICLE. I THEN CALLED FOR THE ASSISTANCE OF K-9 DEPUTY VIGGIANO AND HIS K-9 UNIT. WHILE FILLING OUT THE DRIVER'S WARNINGS, DEPUTY VIGGIANO WALKED HIS K-9 AROUND THE DRIVER'S VEHICLE AND THE K-9 HAD AN ALERT. I THEN OBSERVED A FOURTH HEAD POP UP FROM THE REAR PASSENGER'S SEAT OF THE PICKUP TRUCK. DEPUTY VIGGIANO THEN BEGAN HAVING THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE EXIT AND STAND AT THE FRONT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. DEPUTY VIGGIANO CONDUCTED A PAT DOWN SEARCH OF THE SUBJECTS. DEPUTY VIGGIANO THEN CONDUCTED AN INTERIOR SEARCH AND DISCOVERED A BLACK IN COLOR BACKPACK. DEPUTY VIGGIANO INFORMED ME THAT HE HAD LOCATED A LOADED FIREARM AND MARIJUANA INSIDE THE BAG. HE ADVISED THAT IT WAS LOCATED WHERE THE DEFENDANT, MR QUADREY SWEENEY, WAS SITTING INSIDE THE DODGE PICKUP TRUCK. I THEN SECURED MR SWEENEY IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER AND ASKED HER WHERE SHE HAD PICKED UP THE DEFENDANT, TO WHICH SHE ADVISED THAT THE DEFENDANT SAW MY PATROL VEHICLE COMING AND JUMPED INTO HER VEHICLE. SHE ADVISED THAT WHILE HE WAS INSIDE HER VEHICLE, HE WAS VERY NERVOUS AND FIDGETING. I ASKED HER WHEN THE DEFENDANT GOT INTO HER VEHICLE, IF HE WAS CARRYING ANYTHING, TO WHICH SHE ADVISED THAT HE WAS CARRYING A BLACK BACKPACK. I THEN SHOWED HER THE ONE THAT DEPUTY VIGGIANO HAD RECOVERED FROM HER VEHICLE. SHE STATED THAT WAS THE ONE HE WAS CARRYING. ALSO LOCATED IN THE BLACK BACKPACK WERE TWO TELEPHONE CHARGES. THE DEFENDANT DID HAVE A CELLULAR TELEPHONE ON HIM, WHICH FIT BOTH CHARGERS. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF THE BACK PACK WAS HIS, TO WHICH HE STATED NO. ALSO LOCATED IN THE BACKPACK WERE THREE $100.00 BILLS. ALL PROPERTY WAS COLLECTED. THE DRIVER AND OTHER OCCUPANTS OF THE PICKUP TRUCK WERE ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE SCENE. ALL PROPERTY WAS COLLECTED AND THE DEFENDANT WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY, I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT IF HE HAD ANYTHING ELSE ON HIM THAT IT WOULD BE A FELONY TO BRING IT INSIDE THE DETENTION FACILITY. THE DEFENDANT THEN ADVISED THAT EH HAD ANOTHER SMALL BAG OF WEED AND A SMALL BAG OF CRACK. BOTH ITEMS WERE COLLECTED AND WILL BE TURNED IN TO THE CITRUS COUNTY EVIDENCE DEPARTMENT.
