UPON ARRIVAL I MADE CONTACT WITH SERGEANT MARSHALL AND HE ADVISED THAT HE HAD CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP ON A 2013 NISSAN PICKUP TRUCK RED IN COLOR BEARING TAG NUMBER BRGC76 WHICH WAS OPERATED BY MR. RANDY ALAN BRUMM JR LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT. SERGEANT MARSHALL ADVISED THAT HE OBSERVED THE AFOREMENTIONED VEHICLE FAIL TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT SOUTH WASHINGTON STREET AND JAMES STREET. HE ALSO STATED THAT WHILE FOLLOWING BEHIND THE VEHICLE ON SOUTH WASHINGTON STREET, HE PACED THE VEHICLE AT 38 MPH AND OBTAINED A SAME DIRECTION SPEED RATING OF 38 MPH FROM HIS RADAR UNIT. THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT ON SOUTH WASHINGTON STREET IS 25 MPH AND HE ALSO OBSERVED TWO CARGO LIGHTS ON THAT EMITTED WHITE LIGHT AS THE VEHICLE TRAVELED DOWN SOUTH WASHINGTON STREET. SERGEANT MARSHALL ADVISED THAT HE HAD ALREADY OBTAINED THE DEFENDANTS DRIVERS LICENSE AND VEHICLE REGISTRATION. HE STATED THAT HE ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE HAD ANY ILLEGAL ITEMS INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE TO WHICH THE DEFENDANT ADVISED NO AND ALSO ADVISED THAT HE WOULD NOT PROVIDE CONSENT TO A SEARCH OF THE VEHICLE. AT THAT TIME K-9 DEPUTY INDORATO ARRIVED ON SCENE AND HE WAS REQUESTED TO DEPLOY HIS K-9 CO-PARTNER REPO TO CONDUCT AN EXTERIOR SNIFF OF THE VEHICLE FOR THE ODOR OF NARCOTICS. AT THAT TIME K-9 DEPUTY INDORATO DEPLOYED K-9 REPO TO CONDUCT AN EXTERIOR SNIFF OF THE VEHICLE BEGINNING AT THE CENTER OF THE REAR BUMPER AND PROCEED IN A COUNTER CLOCKWISE ROTATION. K-9 DEPUTY INDORATO ADVISED THAT HIS K-9 CO-PARTNER ALERTED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. AT THAT TIME I REQUESTED THE DEFENDANT TO EXIT THE VEHICLE AND INFORMED HIM THAT THE K-9 HAD ALERTED ON HIS VEHICLE TO THE ODOR OF NARCOTICS. AS THE DEFENDANT EXITED THE VEHICLE I OBSERVED A YELLOW BOX CUTTER STYLE RAZOR KNIFE FALL TO THE GROUND FROM BETWEEN HIS LEGS THAT HE APPEARED TO HAVE BETWEEN HIS LEGS OR HE HAD BEEN SITTING ON IT. AT THAT TIME I ESCORTED THE DEFENDANT TO THE FRONT OF SERGEANT MARSHALLâS PATROL VEHICLE. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE HAS ANY WEAPONS ON HIS PERSON DUE TO THE KNIFE THAT FELL FROM BETWEEN HIS LEGS AS HE EXITED THE VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED THAT HE DID NOT HAVE ANY WEAPONS ON HIS PERSON AT WHICH TIME I ASKED HIM IF HE WOULD BE WILLING TO EMPTY THE CONTENTS OF HIS POCKETS ON TO THE HOOD OF THE PATROL VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED YES AND BUTTER FLIED HIS POCKETS OUT REVEALING THEM TO BE EMPTY. I THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF I COULD CONDUCT A PAT DOWN OF HIS PERSON FOR ANY WEAPONS. THE DEFENDANT STATED YES AND RAISED HIS ARMS UP IN THE AIR. WHILE PATTING THE DEFENDANT DOWN FOR WEAPONS I FELT A BLUNT OBJECT BELOW HIS WAIST BAND ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF HIS GROIN AREA. AT THAT TIME THE DEFENDANT WAS READ HIS MIRANDA WARNINGS VIA A PRE PRINTED MIRANDA CARD. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN ASKED WHAT THE ITEM WAS THAT I FELT BELOW HIS WAIST BAND. THE DEFENDANT REPLIED THAT IT WAS A METHAMPHETAMINE PIPE. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN PLACED UNDER ARREST HANDCUFFED BEHIND HIS BACK (DOUBLE LOCKED). THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN ASKED IF HE HAD ANY OTHER ILLEGAL ITEMS ON HIS PERSON TO WHICH HE ADVISED THAT HE HAD A LARGE AMOUNT OF METHAMPHETAMINES WITH THE PIPE INSIDE OF HIS UNDERWEAR. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED THAT HE WOULD WILLINGLY RETRIEVE THE NARCOTICS FROM HIS UNDERWEAR AT WHICH TIME HE WAS UN HANDCUFFED AND ALLOWED TO DO SO. THE DEFENDANT DID NOT HAVE TO REMOVE ANY CLOTHING OR EXPOSE HIMSELF TO REMOVE THE ITEMS FROM HIS UNDERWEAR. THE DEFENDANT REMOVED A CLEAR GLASS METHAMPHETAMINE PIPE AND A CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE AND PLACED IT ON THE HOOD OF THE PATROL VEHICLE. HE WAS THEN RE- SECURED IN HAND CUFFS BEHIND HIS BACK (DOUBLE LOCKED). UPON FURTHER OBSERVATION OF THE CONTENTS WITHIN THE BAGGIE IT WAS DETERMINED TO BE THREE INDIVIDUAL BAGGIES CONTAINING A CRYSTALLINE SUBSTANCE THAT I WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY AS METHAMPHETAMINES THROUGH MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE. I ALSO OBSERVED ON SMALL PLASTIC BAGGIE THAT CONTAINED THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PILLS. THE PILLS WERE IDENTIFIED BY DRUGS.COM AS ELEVEN (11) METHADONE 10 MG PILLS WHICH WERE WHITE RECTANGULAR PILLS WITH THE SCORE OF âM5771â, ONE (1) HYDROMORPHONE 4 MG PILL WHICH WAS A GREEN ROUND PILL WITH THE SCORE OF âV4811â AND FOUR (4) OXYCODONE 15 MG PILLS WHICH WERE YELLOW ROUND PILLS WITH THE SCORE OF âP4â THE THREE BAGGIES OF METHAMPHETAMINES WERE FIELD TESTED UTILIZING A PRESUMPTIVE FIELD TEST KIT AND EACH BAGGIE YIELDED A POSITIVE RESULT FOR THE PRESENCE OF METHAMPHETAMINES. ONE BAGGIE WEIGHED 12.9 GRAMS, THE SECOND BAGGIE WEIGHED 5.4 GRAMS AND THE THIRD BAGGIE WEIGHED 3.5 GRAMS TOTALING 21.8 GRAMS. THE DEFENDANT ALSO HAD $1,167.00 US CURRENCY IN HIS WALLET WHICH WAS ON HIS PERSON. SERGEANT MARSHALL THEN CONDUCTED A DIGITALLY RECORDED INTERVIEW WITH THE DEFENDANT. SEE SERGEANT MARSHALLâS SUPPLEMENT FOR FURTHER. THE NARCOTICS SEIZED WERE PACKAGED FOR LATER SUBMISSION INTO EVIDENCE. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. UPON ARRIVAL THE DEFENDANT WAS TURNED OVER TO DETENTION FACILITY STAFF AND HE WAS CHARGED WITH ONE COUNT OF TRAFFICKING IN ILLEGAL DRUGS MORE THAN 14 GRAMS, LESS THAN 28 GRAMS, THREE COUNTS OF POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE AND ONE COUNT OF POSSESSION OF PARAPHERNALIA. HE WAS ALSO ISSUED FLORIDA UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION 7225-HBH/9 FOR FELONY POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE WHILE IN PHYSICAL CONTROL OF A MOTOR VEHICLE.
