| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: BERRIOS, JUAN 0514 (AR10113801) 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'S STATE STATUTE 316.193. ON 031510 AT APPROXIMATELY 0130 HOURS, I WAS ON PATROL CONDUCTING STATIONARY RADAR ON NORTH LECANTO HIGHWAY NEAR ROOSEVELT BOULEVARD IN BEVERLY HILLS. I OBSERVED A BLUE CHEVY SUBURBAN TRAVELING NORTHBOUND ON NORTH LECANTO HIGHWAY AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I ESTIMATED HIS SPEED TO BE 50 MPH IN A 40 MPH ZONE. I ACTIVATED MY RADAR, HEARD A CLEAR AUDIO DOPPLER, AND READ A TARGET SPEED OF 52 MPH. THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD, SO I IMMEDIATELY PULLED IN BEHIND THE CHEVY AND CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP AT LEMON STREET AND NORTH LECANTO HIGHWAY. THE CHEVY CONTINUED DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH AND DID NOT STOP UNTIL IT ARRIVED AT THE AREA OF MELBOURNE STREET AND BEVERLY HILLS BOULEVARD. THIS WAS APPROXIMATELY A HALF MILE FROM THE ORIGINAL STOP LOCATION. I APPROACHED THE DRIVER, WHO WAS LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT, MR ROMAN FIERRO, AND EXPLAINED TO HIM THE REASON FOR THE TRAFFIC STOP. WHILE I WAS ASKING HIM FOR HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE, I NOTICED HE HAD BLOODSHOT, GLASSY EYES, SLURRED SPEECH AND AN ODOR OF AN ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE ON HIS BREATH. I ASKED HIM IF HE HAD BEEN DRINKING ANY ALCOHOL TONIGHT, TO WHICH HE SAID YES, A FEW BEERS. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT TO STEP OUT OF HIS VEHICLE AND WALK TOWARDS MY PATROL VEHICLE. I NOTICED THAT AS HE WALKED, HE SWAYED FROM SIDE TO SIDE AND EVEN PLACED HIS HAND ON HIS VEHICLE TO BALANCE HIMSELF. I ASKED HIM IF HE WOULD BE WILLING TO PERFORM FIELD SOBRIETY EXERCISES TO DETERMINE IF HE WAS TOO IMPAIRED TO DRIVE, TO WHICH HE SAID "NO, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PASS THEM, BECAUSE I HAD TOO MUCH TO DRINK, I AM JUST BEING HONEST." AT THAT TIME I PLACED THE DEFENDANT UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED, BEHIND HIS BACK, (DOUBLE LOCKED) AND PLACED HIM IN MY PATROL VEHICLE AND LATER TRANSPORTED HIM TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. ONCE AT THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY THE DEFENDANT WAS GIVEN A BREATH TEST TO DETERMINE THE ALCOHOL CONTENT. THE BREATHALYZER HAD A READING OF .197 AND A SECOND READING OF .183. THE DEFENDANT WAS GIVEN A UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION NUMBER 1264ESH FOR SPEEDING AND ANOTHER UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION NUMBER 6975XDO FOR DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE. PRIOR TO LEAVING THE SCENE, THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE WAS LEFT AT 27 SOUTH MELBOURNE STREET PER HIS REQUEST. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $500.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
