| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: DEARDEN, CHRIS 0363 (AR08106891) DID UNLAWFULLY, AND KNOWINGLY HAVE IN HIS ACTUAL CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE TO WIT; CANNABIS COMMONLY REFEREED TO AS "MARIJUANA" IN AN AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF TWENTY GRAMS IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.13(6)(A) ON 122508, AT APPROXIMATELY 2230 HOURS, I WAS CONDUCTING RADAR ENFORCEMENT ON COUNTY ROAD 491 APPROXIMATELY TWO HUNDRED YARDS NORTH OF BLACK DIAMOND WHEN I OBSERVED A VEHICLE HEADING SOUTH BOUND ON COUNTY ROAD 491 WHICH APPEARED TO BE TRAVELLING IN EXCESS OF THE POSTED FORTY MILE PER HOUR SPEED LIMIT. I VISUALLY ESTIMATED THE VEHICLE TO BE TRAVELLING AT APPROXIMATELY FIFTY FIVE MILES PER HOUR AT WHICH TIME; MY RADAR INDICATED THAT the VEHICLE WAS TRAVELLING AT FIFTY SIX MILES PER HOUR. ONCE THE VEHICLE PASSED MY LOCATION, I GOT BEHIND THE VEHICLE AND ACTIVATED MY OVERHEAD EMERGENCY LIGHTS TO CONDUCT A TRAFFIC STOP. ONCE BEHIND THE VEHICLE, the VEHICLE APPEARED TO BE SLOWING AND BOUNCED OFF THE RIGHT HAND CURB AND A SHORT TIME LATER, THE OCCUPANT THREW WHAT APPEARED TO BE SEVERAL PLASTIC BAGGIES OUT OF THE PASSENGER WINDOW. THE VEHICLE THEN CONTINUED AND TURNED ONTO WEST MARK KNIGHTON COURT WHERE THE VEHICLE THEN STOPPED. ONCE THE VEHICLE STOPPED, I EXITED MY PATROL VEHICLE AND INSTRUCTED THE OCCUPANT TO EXIT the VEHICLE. the OCCUPANT APPEARED TO BE MOVING AROUND MAKING FURTIVE MOVEMENTS AND AT THAT TIME, I DREW MY AGENCY ISSUED FIREARM AND AGAIN ORDERED the OCCUPANT OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE DRIVER THEN STEPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND AT THAT TIME, I ORDERED HIM TO THE GROUND AND CONTACTED DISPATCH FOR BACK UP. ONCE BACK UP UNITS ARRIVED ON SCENE, I HANDCUFFED THE DRIVER BEHIND HIS BACK AND VERIFIED THAT THERE WERE NO OTHER OCCUPANTS in the VEHICLE. THE DRIVER WAS THEN STOOD UP AND PLACED AGAINST THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. BACK UP UNITS THEN STAYED WITH the DRIVER AND I THEN WALKED TO THE AREA WHERE THE DRIVER HAD THROWN ITEMS OUT OF THE WINDOW. ONCE THESE ITEMS WERE FOUND, APPROXIMATELY 150 YARDS NORTH OF THE TRAFFIC STOP LOCATION, THREE PLASTIC SANDWICH BAGS CONTAINING MARIJUANA WERE FOUND. THESE ITEMS MATCHED WHAT I OBSERVED COME FROM THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT OF THE VEHICLE. AT THAT TIME, DISPATCH WAS NOTIFIED AND ADVISED THAT I HAD ONE MALE SUBJECT IN CUSTODY. I THEN WALKED BACK TO MY PATROL VEHICLE. UPON MY RETURN, BACK UP DEPUTIES CONDUCTED A SEARCH OF THE DEFENDANT'S PERSON AND ADVISED THAT NO OTHER CONTRABAND WAS FOUND ON HIM. DEPUTY HUNTER THEN SECURED the DEFENDANT IN THE REAR SEAT OF HIS PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED HIM TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. I THEN CONDUCTED AN INTERIOR SEARCH OF THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE AND WHILE DOING THIS, A SMALL AMOUNT OF MARIJUANA WAS FOUND LYING LOOSE IN THE CENTER OF THE SEAT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS MARIJUANA WAS THEN TAKEN AND PLACED IN A PLASTIC ZIP LOCK BAG WHICH WAS ALSO FOUND IN THE DEFENDANTS VEHICLE. THIS ZIPLOC BAG ALSO CONTAINED A SMALL AMOUNT OF MARIJUANA RESIDUE IN the BOTTOM. CONTACT WAS THEN MADE WITH ADVANCE TOWING VIA TELETYPE. ADVANCED TOWING THEN RESPONDED TO THE SCENE AND TOOK POSSESSION OF THE VEHICLE. CONTACT WAS ATTEMPTED TO BE MADE WITH THE OWNER OF the VEHICLE HOWEVER, THIS MET WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. I THEN RESPONDED TO the CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY TO COMPLETE THE ARREST. ONCE THERE, THE SUSPECTED MARIJUANA CONTAINED IN THE BAGGIES, WERE FIELD TESTED AND TESTED POSITIVE FOR MARIJUANA. THE MARIJUANA WAS THEN WEIGHED UTILIZING TWO DIFFERENT SCALES AND A TOTAL WEIGHT OF 93.9 GRAMS WAS OBTAINED. CONTACT WAS THEN MADE WITH the DEFENDANT WHO WAS READ his MIRANDA WARNING FROM PREPARED TEXT. the DEFENDANT ADVISED THAT HE WOULD SPEAK TO ME AND I ADVISED the DEFENDANT THAT the INCIDENT WAS CAUGHT ON MY IN CAR VIDEO SYSTEM AND THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT HE HAD NO RECOLLECTION OF THE EVENTS I WAS SPEAKING ABOUT AND THAT HE DID NOT THROW ANY ITEMS OUT OF the VEHICLE. the DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS THEN SET AT $2,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
