| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: GATER, DAVID 0263 (AR08101090) MOORE, ANDREW 0619 TO DISPLAY CAUSE OR PERMIT TO BE DISPLAYED, OR HAVE IN HER POSSESSION ANY CANCELLED, REVOKED, SUSPENDED, OR DISQUALIFIED DRIVER'S LICENSE, KNOWING THAT SUCH LICENSE HAS BEEN CANCELLED, REVOKED, SUSPENDED OR DISQUALIFIED, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 322.32(1) ON 010608 AT APPROXIMATELY 1518 HOURS, I RESPONDED TO 8888 EAST GOBBLER DRIVE IN REFERENCE TO A VEHICLE ACCIDENT. UPON ARRIVAL AT APPROXIMATELY 1524 HOURS, I OBSERVED TWO MOTORCYCLES TO BE CRASHED; ONE MOTORCYCLE WAS CRASHED INTO THE WOODS AND THE OTHER MOTORCYCLE WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAY WITH OBVIOUS SIGNS OF A CRASH HAVING OCCURRED. I ALSO OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT AND ANOTHER SUBJECT BEING EVALUATED BY NATURE COAST MEDIC FIVE. THE DEFENDANT AND THE SUBJECT DECLINED ANY MEDICAL TREATMENT. I THEN SPOKE WITH THE DEFENDANT AND THE SUBJECT ABOUT THE ACCIDENT. THE DEFENDANT AND SUBJECT ADVISED THAT THEY WERE NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLES BUT WERE THE PASSENGERS. THEY ADVISED THAT TWO WHITE MALES (UNKNOWN NAMES AND UNKNOWN DESCRIPTIONS OF THE DRIVERS) FLED ON FOOT AFTER THE CRASH. I FURTHER ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF SHE WAS CERTAIN SHE DID NOT KNOW WHO WAS DRIVING. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED, "I DON'T KNOW HIS NAME." I THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF SHE OR THE DRIVER OF THAT MOTORCYCLE HAD BEEN DRINKING ALCOHOL, TO WHICH SHE STATED, SHE DID NOT KNOW. I THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT, IN WHAT DIRECTION THE DRIVER FLED, AND THE DEFENDANT ADVISED, I DON'T KNOW. I THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT FOR HER IDENTIFICATION FOR MY REPORT, AT WHICH TIME SHE PROVIDED A FLORIDA DRIVER'S LICENSE, AND WHILE HANDING ME THE LICENSE SHE STATED, "THIS IS SUSPENDED". I ASKED WHAT IT WAS SUSPENDED FOR, AND THE DEFENDANT ADVISED," SEVERAL UNPAID TRAFFIC FINES". I THEN CONFIRMED THROUGH TELETYPE RADIO THAT THE DEFENDANT'S LICENSE WAS, IN FACT, SUSPENDED. DUE TO THE ABSENCE OF THE REGISTERED OWNER AT THE SCENE, THERE WAS NO ONE TO GIVE PERMISSION TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND, THEREFORE, A ROTATION WRECKER WAS REQUESTED. ADVANCED TOWING WAS NOTIFIED AND ARRIVED AT THE SCENE, AT WHICH TIME AN AGENCY VEHICLE STORAGE RECEIPT WAS FILLED OUT AND COPIES GIVEN TO THE DRIVER OF THE TOW TRUCK. A NOTIFICATION OF RECOVERY OF ABANDONED MOTOR VEHICLE FORM WAS ALSO COMPLETED AND TURNED OVER TO RECORDS. . I THEN COMPLETED TWO ACCIDENT REPORTS ON THE TWO MOTORCYCLES. I THEN INFORMED THE DEFENDANT THAT SHE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR PROVIDING ME with A SUSPENDED DRIVER'S LICENSE. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED IN HANDCUFFS BEHIND HER BACK, DOUBLE LOCKED, SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. THE BOND WAS SET AT $250.00 PER BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
