| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: WEST, ROY 0421 (AR10115095) DID VIOLATE FLORIDA STATE NUMBER 320.02(1), BY DRIVING AN UNREGISTERED MOTOR VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAYS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA. ON 053010, I OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE HEADING EASTBOUND ON STATE ROAD 44. WHEN I RAN THE TEMPORARY TAG THAT APPEARED TO BE ALTERED IT CAME BACK UNREGISTERED AND EXPIRED IN 02/2009. IT DID NOT COME BACK TO ANY VEHICLE. I CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP ON THE VEHICLE AND MADE CONTACT WITH THE THREE OCCUPANTS. THE OCCUPANTS WERE HISPANIC MALES ALL CLAIMING TO NOT SPEAK ENGLISH. I ASKED THE DRIVER FOR HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE AND THE REGISTRATION FOR THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER PROVIDED ME WITH A MEXICAN DRIVER'S LICENSE AND SAID HE DID NOT HAVE THE REGISTRATION AND HE COULD NOT REMEMBER THE OWNER'S NAME. HE STATED THIS TO ME IN BROKEN ENGLISH. I ASKED FOR BACKUP, AT WHICH TIME DEPUTY RAMOS RESPONDED TO MY LOCATION TO TRANSLATE FOR ME. AFTER RUNNING THE VIN NUMBER THROUGH NCIC/FCIC, THE VEHICLE SHOWED THAT IT WAS NOT REGISTERED. IT DID SHOW THAT IT WAS PURCHASED IN APRIL, 2010, BUT NEVER REGISTERED. I PLACED THE DRIVER UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED BEHIND HIS BACK (DOUBLE-LOCKED) AND SECURED IN THE BACK SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. UPON SEARCHING HIS WALLET I LOCATED A PERMANENT RESIDENT IDENTIFICATION CARD WITH HIS PICTURE AND A DIFFERENT NAME OF MARIO ORTEGA-MEJIA, WHICH APPEARED TO BE A FORGERY. UPON MAKING A CLOSER EXAMINATION OF THE DRIVER'S LICENSE IT ALSO APPEARED TO BE A FORGERY. I CONTACTED IMMIGRATION CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT (I.C.E.), WHO ADVISED THAT THE RESIDENT IDENTIFICATION CARD NUMBER WAS AN INVALID NUMBER, BUT COULD NOT ADVISE AS TO THE FAKE DRIVER'S LICENSE. I TRANSPORTED THE DEFENDANT TO THE CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING AND IS CURRENTLY AWAITING FURTHER CONTACT FROM I.C.E., OFFICER RODRIGUEZ. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
