| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: DECARLIS, DAVID FHP2740 (AR11123587) did, knowing HIS driver's license or driving privilege had been cancelled, suspended or revoked AS A HABITUAL TRAFFIC OFFENDER, drive a motor vehicle upon the highways of this state while such license or privilege was cancelled, in violation of Florida Statute 322.34(5). ON 111711 AT 1433 HOURS, I WAS TRAVELING WESTBOUND INSIDE LANE ON STATE ROAD 44 IN CRYSTAL RIVER WHEN I OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT TRAVELING EASTBOUND INSIDE LANE ON STATE ROAD 44 NEAR NORTHEAST 10TH AVENUE. AS WE PASSED I COULD SEE THROUGH THE OPEN WINDOW OF THE DEFENDANT'S PICKUP TRUCK THAT HE WAS NOT WEARING A SEATBELT. I MADE A U-TURN AND CAUGHT UP with THE DEFENDANT AT TURKEY OAK DRIVE, AT which TIME HE TURNED LEFT ONTO TURKEY OAK DRIVE. I SIGNALED THE DEFENDANT OVER AND UPON WALKING UP TO THE VEHICLE, HE IMMEDIATELY INFORMED ME THAT HE KNOWS THAT HE IS SUPPOSED TO WEAR A SEATBELT, HOWEVER, HE JUST GOT FINISHED WORKING ON HEAVY EQUIPMENT AND SHOWED ME HIS HANDS WHICH WERE COVERED IN BLACK SOOT/GREASE FROM THE EQUIPMENT. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT FOR HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE, TO WHICH HE ADVISED THAT HE DID NOT HAVE IT WITH HIM. A COMPUTER CHECK REVEALED THE DEFENDANT'S DRIVER'S LICENSE TO BE SUSPENDED FOR DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE, REFUSAL TO SUBMIT FOR BREATH, URINE OR BLOOD, CANCELLED INDEFINITELY TIMES TWO, REVOKED FIVE YEARS FOR DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE, REVOKED TEN YEARS FOR DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE AND REVOKED FIVE YEARS FOR HABITUAL TRAFFIC VIOLATOR. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST. AT THE DEFENDANT'S REQUEST THE VEHICLE, WHICH IS REGISTERED UNDER THE BUSINESS R & L MOBILE SERVICE, WAS RELEASED TO THE CUSTODY OF THE DEFENDANT'S PASSENGER. DUE TO THE DEFENDANT'S LARGE STATURE, I SECURED HIS HANDS USING TWO PAIR OF HANDCUFFS, BEHIND HIS BACK, DOUBLE LOCKED. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED to the CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY, THE DEFENDANT WAS ISSUED UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION NUMBER 0329SYW4 FOR NOT WEARING A SEATBELT AND UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION NUMBER 0330SYW8 FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED OR REVOKED HABITUAL WITH A MANDATORY COURT DATE OF 120211 AT 0900 HOURS. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $10,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE.
