| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: CRUZ, ABNER 0517 (AR08106802) DID UNLAWFULLY AND KNOWINGLY HAVE IN HIS ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: COCAINE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.13(6)(A) ON 121908 WHILE CONDUCTING TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT ON NORTH CITRUS SPRINGS BOULEVARD AND NORTH DELTONA BOULEVARD, I OBSERVED AN ORANGE VEHICLE RUN THE STOP SIGN AT THE ABOVE INTERSECTION. I INITIATED A TRAFFIC STOP WITH MY OVERHEAD LIGHTS ACTIVATED AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP ON NORTH DELTONA BOULEVARD AND WEST ERIC DRIVE. I THEN APPROACHED THE VEHICLE ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER, MR DENNIS EXLEY, AND ADVISED HIM OF THE REASON FOR THE TRAFFIC STOP. I REQUESTED HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE, THE VEHICLE REGISTRATION AND PROOF OF INSURANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO OCCUPIED BY MS MARY ROWETON IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. IN THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT WAS THE DEFENDANT, MR RICHARD FORSLUND. I OBSERVED THAT NEITHER PASSENGER WAS WEARING SEAT BELTS AT WHICH TIME I REQUESTED THEIR IDENTIFICATIONS WHICH NEITHER COULD PROVIDE. THEY DID PROVIDE ME WITH THEIR NAMES AND DATE OF BIRTH I TOOK THE INFORMATION THEY PROVIDED TO ME AND RETURNED TO MY PATROL VEHICLE. AT THAT TIME, CANINE DEPUTY, CORPORAL BRUNK, ARRIVED ON SCENE. I REQUESTED THAT CORPORAL BRUNK WALK HIS CANINE AROUND THE VEHICLE. CORPORAL BRUNK AND CANINE JERRY LEE WALKED AROUND THE VEHICLE AT WHICH TIME, CORPORAL BRUNK ADVISED ME THAT CANINE JERRY LEE HAD ALERTED TO THE ODOR OF NARCOTICS EMANATING FROM THE VEHICLE. I RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE AND REQUESTED THAT ALL OF THE OCCUPANTS EXIT THE VEHICLE. ALL THREE OF THE OCCUPANTS CAME BACK TO MY PATROL VEHICLE, AT WHICH TIME I REQUESTED PERMISSION TO SEARCH THEIR PERSONS. A SEARCH OF THE DRIVER AND THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER MET WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. UPON SEARCHING THE DEFENDANT'S PERSON, I LOCATED A KEY RING AND KEYS IN HIS RIGHT FRONT PANTS POCKET. THE KEY RING AND KEY ALSO HAD A SILVER PILL CONTAINER ATTACHED. UPON OPENING THE PILL CONTAINER, I OBSERVED A SMALL AMOUNT OF A WHITE POWDER RESIDUE ALONG WITH TINY PIECES OF A WHITE ROCK-LIKE SUBSTANCE. AT THAT TIME, I FIELD TESTED THE SUBSTANCE IN THE SILVER PILL CONTAINER WHICH TESTED POSITIVE FOR COCAINE. I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT THAT HE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR POSSESSION OF COCAINE. HE WAS HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK AND SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE FOR TRANSPORT TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE WAS ISSUED A WRITTEN WARNING FOR VIOLATION OF A TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICE, RUNNING A STOP SIGN, AND THE DRIVER AND THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER WERE RELEASED ON SCENE. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE DETENTION FACILITY, THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $5,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
