THE CODEFENDANT WAS STANDING OUTSIDE THE DRIVER'S DOOR. I COULD SEE DAMAGE TO THE RED VEHICLE. UPON EXITING MY PATROL VEHICLE, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE CODEFENDANT AND ANOTHER SUBJECT, AT WHICH TIME, I WAS ADVISED BY THE CODEFENDANT THAT HE HAD BEEN DRIVING THE NISSAN PICKUP. WHILE WALKING TOWARDS THE NISSAN PICKUP, I COULD SEE THROUGH THE DRIVER'S SIDE OPEN WINDOW NUMEROUS PIECES OF MARIJUANA LYING ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT, PASSENGER SEAT, AND FLOORBOARD OF THE VEHICLE. AT THIS TIME, THE CODEFENDANT AND HIS PASSENGER PROCEEDED TO WALK AWAY BEHIND A THIRD VEHICLE THAT WAS PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT. UPON CALLING THEM OVER, FURTHER INFORMATION WAS GATHERED AND THE OWNER (DEFENDANT, MR RODNEY WORLEY) OF THE NISSAN PICKUP TRUCK WAS LOCATED OUTSIDE THE BATHROOMS. WHILE CONVERSING WITH THE CODEFENDANT, I OBSERVED A CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE CONTAINING WHAT APPEARED TO BE MARIJUANA UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE THAT THE CODEFENDANT HAD BEEN HIDING BEHIND. THIS BAGGIE WAS RECOVERED AND MIRANDA WAS READ TO THE CODEFENDANT AND THE PASSENGER VIA PREPRINTED CARD. THEY BOTH THEN AGREED TO SPEAK WITH ME. I REQUESTED THE CODEFENDANT TO EMPTY HIS POCKETS, AT WHICH TIME, THE CODEFENDANT VOLUNTARILY EMPTIED HIS POCKETS AND I OBSERVED A SMALL AMOUNT OF A GREEN LEAFY SUBSTANCE WHICH APPEARED TO BE MARIJUANA IN HIS RIGHT FRONT POCKET. THE CODEFENDANT FURTHER ADVISED THAT THE DEFENDANT, MR RODNEY WORLEY, HAD BROUGHT THE MARIJUANA TO THIS LOCATION. WHILE CONVERSING WITH THE DEFENDANT, I ADVISED THE CODEFENDANT TO SIT ON A PARK BENCH WHICH WAS CLOSE BY OR STAND IN THE SHADE IMMEDIATELY ACROSS THE DRIVEWAY. THE CODEFENDANT THEN PROCEEDED TO WALK APPROXIMATELY 150 FEET AWAY TO A SMALL WOODED AREA ACROSS THE PARK. AFTER HAVING THE CODEFENDANT COME BACK TO THE VEHICLE, I PROCEEDED TO WALK TO THE WOODED AREA AND LOCATED A PILL BOTTLE AND TWO PIECES OF CRACK COCAINE. FURTHER CONTACT WAS THEN made WITH THE CODEFENDANT, AT WHICH TIME, HE ADVISED THAT THE COCAINE WAS HIS AND THAT HE WAS INTENDING TO SELL IT TO THE DEFENDANT AND THAT HIS FINGERPRINTS WOULD BE ON THE PILL BOTTLE. A FURTHER SEARCH OF THE CODEFENDANT REVEALED A CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE CONTAINING MARIJUANA WHICH WAS HIDDEN IN THE CODEFENDANT'S RIGHT SOCK. THE CODEFENDANT ALSO ADMITTED THAT THE BAGGIE FOUND UNDER THE VEHICLE WAS HIS. UPON FURTHER QUESTIONING ABOUT MR WORLEY, THE CODEFENDANT ADVISED THAT MR WORLEY HAD A CRACK COCAINE PIPE AND FURTHER STATED IT WAS A "STEM" (STEM BEING A STRAIGHT GLASS OR METAL TUBE COMMONLY USED TO SMOKE CRACK COCAINE). I THEN PROCEEDED TO THE BATHROOM WHERE MR WORLEY(DEFENDANT) HAD BEEN STANDING. I PROCEEDED TO SEARCH THE IMMEDIATE AREA, AT WHICH TIME, I DISCOVERED A METAL STRAIGHT STEM/PIPE WHICH WAS IN THE MEN'S BATHROOM GARBAGE CAN. CONTACT WAS THEN MADE WITH THE DEFENDANT, MR RODNEY WORLEY, AT which TIME, MIRANDA WAS READ VIA PREPRINTED CARD. MR WORLEY ADVISED HE UNDERSTOOD HIS RIGHTS AND AGREED TO ANSWER MY QUESTIONS. MR WORLEY ADVISED THAT THE METAL PIPE I HAD FOUND WAS, INDEED, HIS. HE FURTHER ADVISED HE WAS ON PROBATION FOR FELONY POSSESSION OF COCAINE. BOTH THE DEFENDANT AND CO-DEFENDANT WERE PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED BEHIND THEIR BACK (DOUBLE LOCKED) AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR PROCESSING. DUE TO MR LEWIS' SIZE, TWO PAIR OF HANDCUFFS WERE USED (DOUBLE LOCKED).

IT ALSO INDICATED THAT THE OFFENSE WAS FOR COCAINE POSSESSION.
