| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: LAUGHLIN, JEREMY 0617 (AR08101928) DID KNOWINGLY, WHILE HIS OPERATOR'S OR CHAUFFEUR'S LICENSE OR DRIVING PRIVILEGE HAD BEEN CANCELLED, SUSPENDED OR REVOKED, DRIVE UPON THE HIGHWAYS OF THIS STATE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 322.34(2)(A). ON 022708, AT APPROXIMATELY 1400 HOURS, I OBSERVED A BLACK FORD PICKUP TRUCK, BEARING FLORIDA TAG T105QV, TO BE SETTING AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AT HIGHWAY 41 AND EAST EDEN DRIVE. WHILE SETTING BEHIND THIS VEHICLE, I OBSERVED THAT THE VALIDATION DECAL ON THE TAG WAS OUT OF DATE, BEARING THE DATE OF 1207. AT THAT TIME, THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND THE TRUCK PROCEEDED TO TURN WEST ONTO EDEN DRIVE, AT WHICH TIME, I INITIATED A TRAFFIC STOP ON THE VEHICLE ON EAST EDEN DRIVE AND OLD FLORAL CITY ROAD, INVERNESS. UPON MAKING CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER, I ASKED HIM FOR HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE, PROOF OF INSURANCE AND HIS REGISTRATION, AT WHICH TIME, HE ADVISED HE DID NOT HAVE HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE. I THEN ASKED THE DRIVER IF HE HAD A VALID DRIVER'S LICENSE OR IF HE JUST DID NOT HAVE IT WITH HIM. THE DRIVER STATED HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED, AND HE DID NOT HAVE ANY PROOF OF INSURANCE FOR THE VEHICLE, BUT HE DID PROVIDE ME WITH HIS IDENTIFICATION CARD, IDENTIFYING HIM AS MR SCOTT GRANT. I THEN RETURNED TO MY PATROL VEHICLE AND RAN HIS IDENTIFICATION THROUGH FCIC/NCIC, WHICH REVEALED THAT HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE HAD BEEN SUSPENDED IN JUNE, 2007 AND OCTOBER, 2007, FOR FAILURE TO PAY TRAFFIC FINES. I ALSO RAN HIS INFORMATION THROUGH "DAVID" WHICH REVEALED FIVE SUSPENSIONS OF HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE. I ALSO RAN HIS INFORMATION THROUGH PSNET WHICH REVEALED THAT IN JULY, 2007, HE WAS CITED FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED/REVOKED. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED BEHIND HIS BACK (DOUBLE LOCKED) AND PLACED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT'S GIRLFRIEND WAS NOTIFIED WHO THEN RESPONDED TO THE SCENE TO TAKE POSSESSION OF THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR PROCESSING. BOND SET AT $500.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE DEFENDANT WAS ISSUED UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION 9367-FIQ FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED/REVOKED, KNOWINGLY, WITH A MANDATORY COURT DATE ON 031308, AT 1300 HOURS, AT THE CITRUS COUNTY COURTHOUSE. HE WAS ALSO ISSUED WARNING 216953 FOR NO VALID INSURANCE AND 216954 FOR EXPIRED VEHICLE REGISTRATION. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
