| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: FWC OFFICER BRANDON ULRICH N707 (AR15-15529) did drive or was in the actual physical control of a veSSEL while under the influence of alcoholic beverages, model glue or any substance controlled under Chapter 893 or Chapter 877.111 to the extent HIS normal faculties were impaired, in violation of Florida Statute 327.35(1)(A). ON SUNDAY JUNE 28, 2015 AT APPROXIMATELY 1856 HOURS, FWC OFFICER CRANE AND I WERE ON FOOT PATROL AT PETEâS PIER BOAT RAMP IN CRYSTAL RIVER. I DID OBSERVE A WHITE MALE IDENTIFIED AS ROBERT L. JAMES (J520772750040) OPERATING VESSEL BEARING REGISTRATION NUMBER FL3039EL. AS JAMES APPROACHED THE DOCK HE SEEMED CONFUSED AND LOST CONTROL OF THE VESSEL. OFFICER CRANE MOTIONED TO THE OPERATOR THAT HE WAS ABOUT TO MAKE CONTACT WITH ANOTHER VESSEL. JAMES PUT HIS VESSEL IN REVERSE AND THEN ATTEMPTED TO APPROACH THE DOCK AGAIN. ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT THE REAR OF JAMES VESSEL TURNED AND WAS DRIFTING TOWARD A NEARBY VESSEL AND I ADVISED JAMES OF THIS AND HE SEEMED CONFUSED AND JUMPED INTO THE WATER AT THE RAMP. JAMES VESSEL STRUCK THE NEARBY VESSEL BEARING REGISTRATION NUMBER FL3506HX AND MADE THREE BLACK SCUFF MARKS ALONG THE SIDE. JAMES SEEMED UNSTEADY ON HIS FEET AND I HELPED HIM DOCK HIS VESSEL TO AVOID FURTHER DAMAGE. WHILE JAMES WAS ATTEMPTING TO LOAD THE VESSEL ONTO THE TRAILER I OBSERVED HIM FUMBLE WITH THE WENCH MECHANISM AND HE WAS USING THE TRAILER TO SUPPORT HIMSELF. IT TOOK JAMES APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES TO LOAD HIS BOAT ON THE TRAILER. I MADE CONTACT WITH JAMES AND ADVISED HIM THAT I WOULD BE CONDUCTING A BOATING SAFETY INSPECTION OF HIS VESSEL. IMMEDIATELY, I NOTICED THAT HE WAS SUNBURNED, HAD BLOODSHOT AND WATERY EYES, AND THAT HE HAD BLOOD ON HIS FACE AND ARM. JAMES STATED THAT HE WAS INVOLVED IN A FIGHT EARLIER THAT DAY AT SHELL ISLAND. I ASKED JAMES TO SHOW ME 2 LIFE JACKETS, FIRE EXTINGUISHER, WHISTLE OR SOUND PRODUCING DEVICE, AND A THROW CUSHION OR LIFE RING. JAMES TOOK 6 LIFE JACKETS FROM INSIDE THE FRONT COMPARTMENT CONTRARY TO ME ONLY ASKING FOR 2. JAMES THEN RETRIEVED THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND THROW CUSHION AND THOUGHT HE HAD COMPLETED THE TASK. I ADVISED JAMES THAT I NEEDED TO SEE A WHISTLE OR SOUND PRODUCING DEVICE. JAMES WALKED AROUND THE INSIDE OF THE VESSEL AND WAS UNSTEADY ON HIS FEET AND USED THE CENTER CONSOLE TO SUPPORT HIMSELF. JAMES COULD NOT LOCATE A WHISTLE ONBOARD. I THEN ASKED JAMES FOR HIS VESSEL REGISTRATION AND A DRIVERâS LICENSE. JAMES HANDED ME HIS REGISTRATION BUT TOLD ME HE DID NOT REMEMBER WHAT ELSE I NEEDED. I ASKED JAMES TO SHOW ME HIS DRIVERâS LICENSE AT WHICH TIME HE HANDED ME HIS FLORIDA ID CARD. BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE AND TRAINING, I BELIEVED JAMES WAS OPERATING WHILE IMPAIRED AND I ASKED HIM IF HE WOULD SUBMIT TO FIELD SOBRIETY EXERCISES. JAMES SAID HE WOULD SUBMIT TO THE EXERCISES. PRIOR TO BEGINNING THE TASKS, JAMES STATED THAT HE WAS AT CRACKERâS RESTAURANT AND HE HAD BEEN DRINKING THROUGHOUT THE DAY. JAMES ALSO STATED THAT HE DID NOT WANT TO BACK THE TRUCK DOWN TO THE RAMP BECAUSE HE KNEW HE WAS IMPAIRED AND DID NOT WANT TO GET A DUI WHICH IS WHY HE WAS OPERATING THE VESSEL INSTEAD. I ASKED JAMES TO BE SEATED ON A NEARBY BENCH AND ASKED HIM IF HE WAS IN A COMFORTABLE, STABLE, SEATED POSITION, TO WHICH HE REPLIED âYESâ. AT THIS POINT I CONDUCTED THE FOLLOWING FIELD SOBRIETY TASKS. THE TASKS WERE BOTH READ ALOUD FROM PREPARED TEXT AND DEMONSTRATED FOR JAMES. I DOCUMENTED THE FOLLOWING INDICATORS OF IMPAIRMENT. \t-HORIZONTAL GAZE NYSTAGMUS \t-LACK OF SMOOTH PURSUIT IN BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT EYE. \t-DISTINCT AND SUSTAINED NYSTAGMUS AT MAXIMUM DEVIATION IN BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT EYE. \t-ONSET OF NYSTAGMUS PRIOR TO 45-DEGREES IN BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT EYE. \t-FINGER TO NOSE \t-EXTENDED THUMBS WHEN TOLD TO ONLY EXTENT INDEX FINGER. \t-DID NOT CLOSE HIS EYES WHEN HE TILTED HEAD BACK. \t-OPENED EYES DURING THE TASK. \t-LEANED BACK AGAINST THE TABLE WHICH WAS FURTHER THAN 45 DEGREES AS INSTRUCTED. \t-USED HIS LEFT HAND ON TASK 5 WHEN INSTRUCTED TO USE HIS RIGHT HAND. \t-HESITATED THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE TASK. \t-DID NOT USE FINGERTIP THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE TASK. \t-DID NOT BRING HAND DOWN ON TASK 5 WHEN INSTRUCTED TO USE HIS RIGHT HAND. \t-PALM PAT \t-STARTED AT WRONG TIME. \t-ROLLED HANDS THROUGHOUT ENTIRE TASK. \t-DID NOT INCREASE SPEED THROUGHOUT ENTIRE TASK. \t-STOPPED TASK BEFORE INSTRUCTED. \t-WALK AND TURN \t-LOSES BALANCE DURING INSTRUCTIONS. \t-STOPS WHILE WALKING ON STEP NUMBER 8. \t-STEPS OFF THE LINE ON STEPS NUMBER 3, 6, AND 9. \t-USED ARMS TO BALANCE THROUGHOUT ENTIRE TASK. \t-PERFORMED AND IMPROPER TURN. \t-ONE LEG STAND \t-SWAYS WHILE BALANCING. \t-USED ARMS TO BALANCE THROUGHOUT ENTIRE TASK. \t-PUTS FOOT DOWN 4 TIMES AND STATES âI CANâT BALANCEâ. BASED ON MY OBSERVATIONS, I ADVISED JAMES I WOULD BE PLACING HIM UNDER ARREST FOR BOATING WHILE IMPAIRED. JAMES WAS HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) AT APPROXIMATELY 1919 HOURS. APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES LATER CITRUS SHERIFFâS DEPUTY KYLE FERGUSON I.D. 1266 RESPONDED TO PROVIDE TRANSPORT TO CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. UPON ARRIVAL TO CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY JAMES WAS READ HIS IMPLIED CONSENT REQUESTING HIM TO SUBMIT TO AN APPROVED TEST OF HIS BREATH TO DETERMINE HIS BREATH ALCOHOL CONTENT. JAMES REFUSED ANY TESTING. AT THIS TIME JAMES WAS CHARGED WITH UNIFORM BOATING CITATION (V473394) FOR OPERATING A VESSEL WHILE IMPAIRED 327.35(1)(A) WITH A COURT DATE TO BE ASSIGNED BY DETENTION FACILITY. JAMES WAS ALSO ISSUED UNIFORM BOATING CITATION (V473395) FOR NOT HAVING A SOUND PRODUCING DEVICE ONBOARD THE VESSEL. NARRATIVE SUBMITTED BY FWC OFFICER BRANDON ULRICH (N707). \t |
