Date of birth: Jul 2, 1970
Probable cause affidavit: SUBMITTED BY: STRICKLAND, JASON 0583 (AR08102776) did willfully refuse to accept and sign a CITATION OR summons as provided in Chapter 318, Florida Statutes, in violation of Florida Statute 318.14(3); ON 041408 AT APPROXIMATELY 0638 HOURS, I OBSERVED A FULL SIZED PICKUP TRUCK RUN A STOP SIGN LOCATED AT THE interSECTION OF WEST BASSWOOD ROAD AND NORTH SUNCOAST BOULEVARD. AT THAT TIME, I INITIATED A TRAFFIC STOP ON THE VEHICLE BY TURNING ON MY OVERHEAD EMERGENCY LIGHTS, TO WHICH the DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP APPROXIMATELY 400 FEET NORTH OF WEST POWERLINE ROAD AND NORTH OF SUNCOAST BOULEVARD. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT, AND GAINED NEEDED INFORMATION, IN WHICH I ISSUED THE DEFENDANT A CITATION (1255FIR) FOR RUNNING A STOP SIGN. WHEN THE DEFENDANT WENT TO DRIVE AWAY FROM THE TRAFFIC STOP LOCATION, THE DEFENDANT SPUN HIS TIRES ON THE RIGHT OF WAY, LEAVING BURN OUT MARKS ON THE GRASS AND WAS ALSO STILL SPINNING HIS TIRES WHEN HIS VEHICLE CAME INTO CONTACT WITH THE ASPHALT. AT THAT TIME, I THEN PURSUED THE VEHICLE WITH MY OVERHEAD EMERGENCY LIGHTS STILL ON. WHILE TRYING TO CATCH UP WITH THE DEFENDANT, I NOTICED I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 100 MILES PER HOUR. I ALSO OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT SWERVING IN AND OUT OF TRAFFIC. AT THAT TIME I NOTIFIED DISPATCH THAT I WOULD BE CONDUCTING ANOTHER TRAFFIC STOP ON THE SAME VEHICLE AND TO SEND A BACKUP DEPUTY. THE DEFENDANT THEN TURNED INTO THE SHELL STATION LOCATED AT 6164 NORTH SUNCOAST BOULEVARD IN CRYSTAL RIVER AT APPROXIMATELY 0651 HOURS. THE DEFENDANT THEN EXITED HIS VEHICLE, AT WHICH TIME I ISSUED MULTIPLE ORDERS FOR THE DEFENDANT TO GET BACK INTO HIS VEHICLE, TO which HE FINALLY COMPLIED WITH MY ORDERS. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT AND RECEIVED HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE, VEHICLE REGISTRATION AND PROOF OF INSURANCE THROUGH THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW. UPON COMPLETING THE SECOND CITATION FOR THE IMPROPER START OF A MOTOR VEHICLE FROM A STOPPED POSITION, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT AND EXPLAINED TO HIM WHY HE WAS RECEIVING THIS CITATION. I THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT TO SIGN THE CITATION AND EXPLAINED TO HIM IT WAS NOT AN ADMISSION OF GUILT, THAT HIS SIGNATURE WAS JUST AN AGREEMENT STATING HE WILL TAKE CARE OF THE CITATION BY EITHER PAYING THE FINE OR BY MAKING A COURT DATE TO CONTEST THE CITATION. AT THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT THEN STATED HE WAS NOT GOING TO SIGN THE CITATION. I FURTHER EXPLAINED TO THE DEFENDANT THAT IF HE FAILED TO SIGN THE CITATION, I WOULD HAVE TO PLACE HIM UNDER ARREST FOR FAILURE TO SIGN THE TRAFFIC CITATION. THE DEFENDANT THEN STATED HE WANTED TO GO TO JAIL. I THEN TOLD THE DEFENDANT TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, TO WHICH HE STARTED HIS VEHICLE, AND AT THAT TIME MYSELF AND DEPUTY SETTLES THEN DREW OUR AGENCY ISSUED SIDE-ARMS AND ORDERED THE DEFENDANT TO TURN OFF AND EXIT HIS VEHICLE, TO WHICH THE DEFENDANT COMPLIED. I THEN HANDCUFFED THE DEFENDANT, DOUBLE-LOCKED BEHIND BACK, AND SEARCHED HIS PERSON. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR FURTHER PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $150.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE WAS IMPOUNDED AT THE ABOVE LOCATION AND WAS TOWED BY ADAMS TOWING. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT DEPUTY SETTLES STAYED WITH THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT WAS TURNED OVER TO THE TOW AGENCY USING A VEHICLE STORAGE RECEIPT. *NOT-EXEMPT*
Inmate status: Felony Misdemeanor County/Municipal Traffic Ordinance Warrant/Capias
