| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: OFFICER CRIMA, GLENN FHP2371 (AR08105363) THE DRIVER OF ANY VEHICLE INVOLVED IN A CRASH RESULTING ONLY IN DAMAGE TO A VEHICLE OR OTHER PROPERTY DRIVEN OR ATTENDED BY ANY PERSON, SHALL IMMEDIATELY STOP SUCH VEHICLE AT THE SCENE OF SUCH CRASH OR AS CLOSE THERETO AS POSSIBLE, AND SHALL, FORTHWITH RETURN TO AND IN EVERY EVENT SHALL REMAIN AT THE SCENE OF THE CRASH UNTIL HE HAD FULFILLED THE REQUIREMENTS OF 316.061(1) UPON MY ARRIVAL AT 1828 HOURS AT THE CRASH SCENE AT FISHBOWL DRIVE AND SHELL POINT IN HOMOSASSA I OBSERVED A WHITE MERCURY FOUR DOOR VEHICLE BLOCKING THE EASTBOUND LANE OF FISHBOWL DRIVE, UP AGAINST A UTILITY POLE. THE DRIVER OF THE MERCURY WAS NOWHERE ON OR NEAR THE SCENE. THE DRIVER/DEFENDANT WAS LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 1500 FEET NORTH OF THE INTERSECTION IN FRONT OF THE MANATEE PUB, WHICH IS WHERE HE HAD JUST LEFT FROM PRIOR TO THE CRASH. WHILE QUESTIONING THE DEFENDANT ABOUT THE CRASH I COULD DETECT THE ODOR OF AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE EMITTING FROM HIS BREATH. THE DEFENDANT WAS STATING TO ME THAT HIS SISTER WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, AND THAT HE WAS A PASSENGER, HOWEVER, HIS SISTER WAS NOWHERE NEAR THE SCENE AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH AND SHE DID STATE SHE WAS NOT IN THE VEHICLE AND THAT HE WAS DRIVING, AS SHE HAD WATCHED HIM LEAVE THE MANATEE PUB. CONTACT WAS MADE WITH A WITNESS AT THE SCENE WHO HAD SEEN THE DEFENDANT BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THE VEHICLE AT THE CRASH SITE. AT THAT TIME THE DEFENDANT BEGAN TO ARGUE WITH HIS SISTER, TELLING HER THAT THEY COULD HAVE BEEN IN THE CLEAR IF SHE HAD "KEPT HER MOUTH SHUT". AT THE CONCLUSION OF MY CRASH INVESTIGATION IT WAS DETERMINED THE DEFENDANT WAS TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND ON SOUTH SHELL POINT AND REAR ENDED A VEHICLE STOPPED AT THE INTERSECTION OF FISHBOWL DRIVE WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. HE CONTINUED SOUTHBOUND, PUSHING THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE WAY, CROSSING FISHBOWL DRIVE, STRIKING A UTILITY POLE HEAD ON. AT THIS TIME MYSELF AND THE DEFENDANT WALKED BACK TO THE CRASH SCENE WHERE HE WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR LEAVING THE SCENE OF A CRASH WITH PROPERTY DAMAGES. THE DEFENDANT WAS HANDCUFFED, DOUBLE LOCKED, AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. FLORIDA HIGHWAY PATROL CASE NUMBER: FHPC08OFF092905. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
