| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: RUBY, SAMUEL 0562 (AR1017894) DID UNLAWFULLY AND KNOWINGLY HAVE IN HIS ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: CANNABIS, COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS MARIJUANA, IN AN AMOUNT OF 20 GRAMS OR LESS, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.13(6)(B). DID DRIVE A MOTOR VEHICLE UPON A HIGHWAY IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA WITHOUT HAVING A VALID DRIVER'S LICENSE AUTHORIZING HIM TO DO SO, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE NUMBER 322.03(1). ON 111210 AT APPROXIMATELY 1425 HOURS I WAS CONDUCTING STATIONARY RADAR ON NORTH CREED AVENUE IN CRYSTAL RIVER. WHILE FACING EASTBOUND ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE ROADWAY I OBSERVED A RED DODGE MINI VAN TRAVELLING AT WHAT APPEARED TO BE 45 MPH IN A 30 MPH ZONE. I ACTIVATED MY RADAR WHICH INDICATED A STRONG DOPPLER TONE AND SHOWED THE DRIVER TRAVELLING 43 MPH. AS THE VEHICLE PASSED I TURNED MY VEHICLE AROUND, ACTIVATED MY OVERHEAD LIGHTS AND CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP ON THE VEHICLE. I APPROACHED THE DRIVER/DEFENDANT WHO WAS TALKING ON HIS CELLULAR TELEPHONE AND WHO APPEARED VERY NERVOUS. I ASKED THE DRIVER/DEFENDANT IF HE KNEW WHY I STOPPED HIM AND HE ADVISED HE MAY HAVE BEEN GOING A LITTLE FAST. AT THAT TIME I ASKED THE DRIVER/DEFENDANT WHY HE WAS NERVOUS. THE DRIVER/DEFENDANT THEN STATED "I WANT TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, I DON'T HAVE A DRIVER'S LICENSE". I ADVISED THE DRIVER/DEFENDANT THAT IT WAS NOTHING TO BE NERVOUS ABOUT AND COULD POSSIBLY BE HANDLED WITH A CITATION. AT THAT TIME THE DRIVER/DEFENDANT STATED AGAIN "I WANT TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, I DO NOT HAVE ANY DRUGS AND THIS IS MY UNCLE'S VAN". I ASKED THE DRIVER/DEFENDANT FOR HIS NAME AND DATE OF BIRTH IN WHICH HE PROVIDED ME WITH THE INFORMATION. UPON RETURNING TO MY PATROL VEHICLE, THE DRIVER/DEFENDANT'S NAME AND DATE OF BIRTH WAS RAN THROUGH D.A.V.I.D. AND HIS IDENTITY WAS CONFIRMED BY HIS PHOTOGRAPH. THE DEFENDANT WAS ISSUED CRIMINAL CITATION NUMBER 8770FRY2 FOR DRIVING WITHOUT A FLORIDA DRIVER'S LICENSE, WITH A COURT DATE OF 120210 AT 1300 HOURS AT THE CITRUS COUNTY COURT HOUSE. THE DEFENDANT WAS ALSO ISSUED WARNING NUMBER 312913B FOR 43 MILES PER HOUR IN A 30 MILE PER HOUR ZONE AND 312914B FOR NO REGISTRATION. WHILE SPEAKING WITH THE DEFENDANT DEPUTY O'MELIAN ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF THERE WAS ANY DRUGS IN THE VEHICLE AND THE DEFENDANT ADVISED NO . DEPUTY O'MELIAN ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE COULD CHECK THE VEHICLE FOR DRUGS AND THE DEFENDANT STATED NO, HE DID NOT MIND. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED THE ONLY THING IN THE VEHICLE WAS CHINESE FOOD. WHILE SEARCHING THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE DEPUTY O'MELIAN RECOVERED A SMALL PLASTIC BAG CONTAINING APPROXIMATELY FOUR GRAMS OF CANNABIS. UNDER A PLASTIC GROCERY BAG WHICH CONTAINED CHINESE FOOD WHICH WAS LOCATED BETWEEN THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SEAT. AT THAT TIME THE DEFENDANT WAS HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) IN BACK, PLACED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. WHEN THE DEFENDANT WAS ASKED ABOUT THE MARIJUANA HE LAUGHED, THROUGH HIS HANDS IN THE AIR AND STATED "I TOLD YOU IT'S MY UNCLE'S VAN. THAT'S NOT MINE". THE DEFENDANT ALSO STATED THAT HE HAD RECEIVED A CRIMINAL CITATION PRIOR TO THIS STOP FOR DRIVING WITHOUT A DRIVER'S LICENSE AND HAD A COURT DATE IN MID NOVEMBER. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $750.00 ACCORDING TO THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE MARIJUANA WAS TURNED IN TO EVIDENCE AND ALL PAPERWORK WAS TURNED IN TO RECORDS.
