Personal Details

Date of birth: Mar 4, 1953
Probable cause affidavit: SUBMITTED BY: WEST, ROY 0421 (AR09110416) DID DRIVE OR WAS IN ACTUAL PHYSICAL CONTROL OF A VEHICLE WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE, 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 STATE STATUTE 316.193(3)(C)(1). AT APPROXIMATELY 0313 HOURS I WAS DISPATCHED TO THE AREA OF US 19 AND CITRUS AVENUE IN REFERENCE TO A REPORTED VEHICULAR CRASH. UPON MY ARRIVAL, I DID OBSERVE A VEHICLE THAT HAD REAR-ENDED A PICKUP TRUCK. BOTH VEHICLES WERE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF US 19 IN THE INTERSECTION AND THE OCCUPANTS OF BOTH VEHICLES WERE ON THE SIDEWALK. AFTER MAKING CONTACT WITH BOTH DRIVERS, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT VEHICLE "TWO," DRIVEN BY THE SUSPECT, STOMPED ON HIS BRAKES DURING THE GREEN LIGHT, WHICH STOPPED HIM ABRUPTLY, CAUSING VEHICLE "ONE" TO STRIKE THE SUSPECT'S VEHICLE IN THE REAR END. I CONDUCTED A CRASH INVESTIGATION AND AT THE CONCLUSION OF THE CRASH INVESTIGATION, I GAVE THE PAPERWORK BACK TO THE DRIVER OF VEHICLE "ONE," AND WENT TO SPEAK TO THE DRIVER OF VEHICLE "TWO." IN SPEAKING WITH THE DRIVER OF VEHICLE "TWO," I ADVISED HIM I WOULD BE CITING HIM FOR THE CRASH FOR IMPROPER STOPPING. I THEN ADVISED THE SUSPECT THAT I WAS CONDUCTING AN INVESTIGATION IN REFERENCE TO HIM DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE. I ADVISED THE DRIVER THAT I COULD SMELL A STRONG ODOR OF AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE EMANATING FROM HIS BREATH. I ALSO ASKED HIM TO REMOVE HIS DARK SUNGLASSES AND STEP AWAY FROM THE WALL THAT HE WAS USING TO LEAN AGAINST TO KEEP HIS BALANCE. I OBSERVED THE DRIVER DID SWAY WHILE I WAS SPEAKING WITH HIM. IN LOOKING AT HIS EYES, THEY WERE BLOODSHOT AND WATERY. IN SPEAKING WITH THE DRIVER, HE ADVISED ME THAT HE HAD BEEN DRINKING, THAT HE ONLY HAD FOUR OR FIVE BEERS THREE OR FOUR HOURS AGO. AT THAT POINT, I ASKED THE DRIVER IF HE WOULD PARTICIPATE IN FIELD SOBRIETY TASKS, TO WHICH HE STATED HE WOULD. AT THAT TIME, I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE HAD ANY MENTAL OR PHYSICAL DISABILITIES THAT WOULD NOT ALLOW HIM TO PERFORM ANY OF THE SOBRIETY TASKS, TO WHICH HE STATED THAT HE DID NOT. TASK ONE, HORIZONTAL GAZE NYSTAGMUS. PRIOR TO PERFORMING THIS TASK, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE DEFENDANT HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH HIS EYES. DURING THIS TASK, THERE WAS LACK OF SMOOTH PURSUIT IN BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT EYE. ALSO, THERE WAS ONSET OF NYSTAGMUS PRIOR TO FORTY-FIVE DEGREES IN THE LEFT AND RIGHT EYE. THERE WAS DISTINCT NYSTAGMUS AT MAXIMUM DEVIATION IN BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT EYE. TASK TWO, WALK AND TURN. THIS TASK WAS EXPLAINED AND DEMONSTRATED TO THE DEFENDANT. DURING THIS TASK, THE DEFENDANT WAS UNABLE TO KEEP HIS BALANCE, HE WAS ALSO UNABLE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS BECAUSE HE WANTED TO START PRIOR TO COMPLETION OF THE INSTRUCTIONS. AFTER THREE STEPS, THE DEFENDANT LOST HIS BALANCE SO MUCH THAT HE FELL OFF THE LINE AND REFUSED TO PARTICIPATE ANY FURTHER. HE FURTHER ADVISED HE WAS OBVIOUSLY TOO INTOXICATED TO DRIVE AND ASKED ME IF I WOULD LET HIS BOSS TAKE HIS VEHICLE FROM THE SCENE, TO THIS I SAID YES. I THEN ADVISED THE DEFENDANT THAT I WAS PLACING HIM UNDER ARREST FOR DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE. HE WAS HANDCUFFED AND PLACED IN CORPORAL BONURA'S VEHICLE, AT WHICH TIME HE WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY, WHERE HE WAS READ HIS IMPLIED CONSENT AND MIRANDA WARNINGS. THE DEFENDANT AGREED TO SUBMIT TO THE APPROVED TEST OF HIS BREATH, WITH THE TEST RESULTS BEING .185 AND .181 THE DEFENDANT WAS CHARGED WITH DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE (SECOND OFFENSE) WITH A $1,000.00 BOND PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE DEFENDANT WAS ISSUED A FLORIDA DUI UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION, NUMBER 8363XBDX WITH A MANDATORY COURT APPEARANCE OF 082709 AT 1300 HOURS AT THE CITRUS COUNTY COURTHOUSE. THE DEFENDANT WAS ALSO ISSUED UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION, NUMBER 1001RPA8, FOR IMPROPER STOPPAGE WITH A $151.00 FINE, PAYABLE IN THIRTY DAYS AT THE CITRUS COUNTY COURTHOUSE. *NOT-EXEMPT*
