| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: FERGUSON, KYLE 1266 (AR15-16434) DID, KNOWING her DRIVERâS LICENSE OR DRIVING PRIVILEGE HAD BEEN CANCELLED, SUSPENDED OR REVOKED, DRIVE A MOTOR VEHICLE UPON THE HIGHWAYS OF THIS STATE WHILE SUCH LICENSE OR PRIVILEGE WAS CANCELLED, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 322.34(2)(A). ON 091515, AT APPROXIMATELY 1154 HOURS, WHILE CONDUCTING TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT IN the AREA OF SOUTHEAST FORT ISLAND TRAIL and the PLANTATION INN, I OBSERVED A TAN COLORED SUV TO BE DRIVING EASTBOUND ON FORT ISLAND TRAIL AT AN ESTIMATED SPEED OF 45 MILES PER HOUR (MPH). I THEN ACTIVATED MY FORWARD FACING RADAR and HEARD A CLEAR DOPPLER TONE, AT which TIME THE RADAR UNIT SHOWED A SPEED OF 48 MPH. DUE TO THE VEHICLE TRAVELLING IN A 30 MPH SPEED ZONE, I GOT BEHIND the 2004 TAN NISSAN SORANO BEARING FLORIDA TAG NUMBER 6646PF and ACTIVATED MY OVERHEAD EMERGENCY LIGHTS TO CONDUCT A TRAFFIC STOP ON THE VEHICLE AT the INTERSECTION OF SOUTHEAST FORT ISLAND TRAIL AND THREE SISTERS SPRINGS TRAIL. UPON RUNNING the DRIVERâS LICENSE NUMBER THAT THE defendant, MS STEPHANIE ANDREWS, PROVIDED ME, I WAS INFORMED THAT the defendantâS DRIVERâS LICENSE WAS RECENTLY SUSPENDED ON 091415 FOR FAILURE TO PAY CHILD SUPPORT. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH OF THE defendantâS DRIVING HISTORY THROUGH THE ââDAVIDââ SYSTEM, I DISCOVERED THAT HER LICENSE HAD ALSO BEEN SUSPENDED ON 011215, 112513, 080713, 121011 AND 090611. I THEN ASKED THE defendant WHY HER LICENSE would BE SUSPENDED SO MANY TIMES, TO WHICH SHE STATED THAT IT HAS NEVER BEEN SUSPENDED AND THAT SHE WAS UP TO DATE ON HER CHILD SUPPORT AND THAT SHE ALSO HAD A CLEAR DRIVING HISTORY. I THEN ADVISED THE defendant OF THE DATES OF THESE SUSPENSION, AT WHICH TIME THE defendant STATED THAT SHE HAD SHORT AND LONG TERM MEMORY LOSS AND DID NOT REMEMBER HER LICENSE EVER BEING SUSPENDED. THE defendant WAS THEN ADVISED THAT, ACCORDING TO THE ââDAVIDââ SYSTEM, SHE HAD RECEIVED A COURT NOTICE FOR HER SUSPENSION AND that she WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR DRIVING ON A SUSPENDED LICENSE. THE defendant CALLED HER SON ON the PHONE AND HE RESPONDED TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE. THE defendant WAS THEN HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) IN FRONT AND SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. UPON ARRIVAL AT the DETENTION FACILITY, the defendant WAS HANDED OVER to the DETENTION STAFF AND HER BOND SET AT $500.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE defendant WAS ISSUED WRITTEN WARNING NUMBER 388794B, FOR THE SPEEDING INFRACTION and WRITTEN WARNING NUMBER 388795B, FOR FAILURE TO PROVIDE PROOF OF HER REGISTRATION. the defendant WAS ALSO ISSUED CRIMINAL CITATION NUMBER A1P2A9P, FOR THE DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED. ALL PAPERWORK WAS TURNED IN TO HER PROPERTY AT THE JAIL. |
