| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED By: VICK, BRYAN 0684 (AR15-16179) DID POSSESS SCHEDULE I, II OR III DRUGS WITH INTENT TO SELL/MANUFACTURE/DELIVER, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE, 893.13(1)(A)(2). ON 082615, AT APPROXIMATELY 1358 HOURS, I RESPONDED TO 7069 SOUTH THRESHOLD POINT IN HOMOSASSA, IN REFERENCE TO A DISTURBANCE. UPON my ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE COMPLAINANT, MR ROBERT BLAIR III. HE ADVISED THAT HE HAD GOTTEN INTO AN argument with HIS FATHER/SUSPECT, MR ROBERT BLAIR. THE COMPLAINANT STATED THAT ONCE HIS FATHER/SUSPECT WAS AWARE THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT HAD BEEN CONTACTED, HE WALKED INTO THE BACKYARD, PULLED UP A CANNABIS PLANT AND THREW IT INTO THE WOODS BEHIND THE POOL. I THEN RESPONDED TO THE RESIDENCE WHERE I MADE CONTACT WITH THE SUSPECT, MR ROBERT BLAIR, WHO ACKNOWLEDGED that HE HAD GOTTEN INTO AN ARGUMENT WITH HIS SON/COMPLAINANT. I THEN ASKED THE SUSPECT IF THERE WAS ANYTHING ILLEGAL IN HIS BACKYARD, AT WHICH TIME HE STATED THERE WAS NOT AND INVITED ME TO GO AND LOOK. THE SUSPECT WALKED WITH ME INTO THE BACKYARD WHERE I OBSERVED SEVERAL POTTED PLANTS, AS WELL AS SOME THAT WERE PLANTED IN THE GROUND. I OBSERVED ONE HOLE THAT APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN FRESHLY DUG. I THEN WALKED INTO THE WOOD LINE BEHIND THE SWIMMING POOL WHERE I LOCATED A CANNABIS PLANT WHICH APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN FRESHLY UPROOTED AND THROWN INTO THE WOODS. I AGAIN MADE CONTACT WITH THE SUSPECT AND READ HIM MIRANDA RIGHTS VIA PRE-PRINTED AGENCY CARD. I THEN ASKED THE SUSPECT IF HE UNDERSTOOD HIS RIGHTS, AND WITH THOSE RIGHTS IN MIND, DID HE WISH TO SPEAK WITH ME. THE SUSPECT ADVISED THAT HE UNDERSTOOD THEM AND AGREED TO SPEAK WITH ME. I ADVISED THE SUSPECT THAT I HAD LOCATED A CANNABIS PLANT APPROXIMATELY THREE FOOT TALL IN THE BACKYARD. I ADVISED THE SUSPECT THAT I BELIEVED THE CANNABIS PLANT BELONGED TO HIM, TO WHICH HE ACKNOWLEDGED IT DID. HE ADVISED HE WATERS THE PLANT AND HAD PLANTED IT IN POTTING SOIL. HE STATED THAT HE DOES NOT SMOKE CANNABIS, BUT HE GIVES IT TO HIS FRIENDS. THE DEFENDANT WAS HONEST AND FORTHCOMING WITH THIS DEPUTY DURING THIS INVESTIGATION, AND AT NO POINT WAS HE UNCOOPERATIVE. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN ADVISED THAT HE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR CULTIVATION OF CANNABIS AND SEATED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE FOR TRANSPORT TO the CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. UPON ARRIVAL, THE DEFENDANT WAS TURNED OVER TO DETENTION STAFF FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING AND SUBSEQUENTLY RELEASED ON HIS OWN RECOGNIZANCE DUE TO his COOPERATION. THE CANNABIS WAS COLLECTED AND PACKAGED AND LATER SUBMITTED TO the EVIDENCE DIVISION. |
