DID DRIVE A MOTOR VEHICLE UPON A HIGHWAY IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA WITHOUT HAVING A VALID DRIVER'S LICENSE AUTHORIZING HIM TO DO SO, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE NUMBER 322.03(1). ON 052416, AT APPROXIMATELY 2320 HOURS, I OBSERVED A GREEN VAN RUN THROUGH A STOP SIGN AT GROSS STREET AND OST WEST NOT COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. I DROVE BEHIND THE VEHICLE AND INITIATED A TRAFFIC STOP. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER, LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT, MR RICHARD GARRETT, ALONG WITH THE PASSENGER WHO WAS LATER IDENTIFIED AS, MS KIMBERLY HEATER. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT FOR HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE, REGISTRATION AND PROOF OF INSURANCE. THE DEFENDANT STATED HE DID NOT HAVE HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE ON HIM, AND HE COULD NOT FIND THE REGISTRATION TO THE VEHICLE. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE HAD ANY FIREARMS OR CONTRABAND IN THE VEHICLE, WHICH HE REPLIED HE DID HAVE A FIREARM AND IT WAS LOCATED BEHIND THE DRIVER SEAT. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE HAD A CONCEALED WEAPONS PERMIT, WHICH HE STATED NO. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT TO STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE. UPON STEPPING OUT OF THE VEHICLE, THE DEFENDANT ADVISED THE FIREARM WAS SNAGGING ON THE SEATBELT AS HE WAS ATTEMPTING TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE.
