DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HER ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION WITH THE INTENT TO USE, OR DID UNLAWFULLY USE, AN OBJECT INTENDED OR DESIGNED FOR USE IN STORING, CONCEALING OR INJECTING, INGESTING, INHALING OR OTHERWISE INTRODUCING INTO THE HUMAN BODY, A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: ONE BLACK SCALE, ONE BLACK ZIP-UP CASE CONTAINING THREE CLEAR BAGGIES WITH METHAMPHETAMINE RESIDUE IN THEM AND TWO GLASS METHAMPHETAMINE SMOKING PIPES, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.147(1). ON 110316, AT APPROXIMATELY 1938 HOURS, I OBSERVED A GREEN IN COLOR 2004 KIA VAN TRAVELING NORTHBOUND ON SOUTH FLORIDA AVENUE IN THE AREA OF EAST JANE LANE. I OBSERVED THIS VEHICLE NOT TO HAVE A LEFT FRONT HEADLIGHT. AT THAT TIME, I POSITIONED MY PATROL VEHICLE BEHIND SAID VEHICLE AND CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP IN THE PARKING LOT OF ITALIAN KITCHEN LOCATED AT 7101 SOUTH FLORIDA AVENUE IN FLORAL CITY. AT THAT TIME, I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE, MS STEPHANIE VANHOOSE, LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT, FRONT SEAT PASSENGER AND OWNER OF THE VEHICLE, MR ROBERT MILLARD, AND JUVENILE REAR PASSENGER, TRISTON MILLARD. I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT THE REASON FOR THE STOP AND REQUESTED HER DRIVER LICENSE, REGISTRATION AND PROOF OF INSURANCE, WHICH SHE PROVIDED TO ME. WHILE SPEAKING WITH THE DEFENDANT, SHE APPEARED TO BE NERVOUS IN NATURE. AT THAT TIME, I ASKED FOR CONSENT TO SEARCH THE VEHICLE. AFTER ASKING MR MILLARD, HE STATED HE WOULD RATHER THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE NOT SEARCH HIS VEHICLE. I THEN RETURNED TO MY PATROL VEHICLE. I REQUESTED CANINE DEPUTY RITLI (0426) TO RESPOND TO MY LOCATION, WHICH HE DID. UPON CANINE DEPUTY RITLI RESPONDING TO MY LOCATION, I ADVISED HIM THAT THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE HAD DENIED CONSENT TO SEARCH THE VEHICLE. CANINE DEPUTY RITLI THEN DEPLOYED HIS K-9 PARTNER, KHAOS. CANINE DEPUTY RITLI AND HIS K-9 PARTNER CONDUCTED A 360-DEGREE SNIFF OF THE FREE AIR SURROUNDING THE VEHICLE. AFTER DOING SO, CANINE DEPUTY RITLI ADVISED ME HIS K-9 PARTNER HAD ALERTED TO THE VEHICLE. CONTACT WAS MADE AGAIN WITH THE OCCUPANTS IN THE VEHICLE, AND THEY WERE REQUESTED TO STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I THEN CONDUCTED A HAND SEARCH OF THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. WHILE DOING SO, I LOCATED A BLACK IN COLOR SCALE IN THE DEFENDANT'S PURSE. I ALSO LOCATED A BLACK IN COLOR ZIP-UP CONTAINER BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT OF THE VEHICLE. UPON OPENING THIS CONTAINER, I OBSERVED THERE TO BE TWO GLASS METHAMPHETAMINE PIPES, THREE CLEAR BAGGIES WITH METHAMPHETAMINE RESIDUE AND ONE CLEAR BAGGIE CONTAINING METHAMPHETAMINE. THESE ITEMS WERE COLLECTED. I AGAIN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT. I CONDUCTED A RECORDED INTERVIEW WITH HER. SHE WAS ADVISED OF HER MIRANDA WARNINGS. SHE WAS ASKED IF SHE UNDERSTOOD HER RIGHTS, WHICH SHE STATED YES. SHE WAS ASKED IF SHE WISHED TO SPEAK WITH ME, WHICH SHE STATED YES. THE DEFENDANT WAS ASKED IF SHE KNEW OF ANYTHING ILLEGAL THAT WE HAD FOUND IN THE VEHICLE. SHE ADVISED OF THE TWO GLASS METHAMPHETAMINE PIPES, THE BAG OF METHAMPHETAMINE INSIDE OF THE BLACK CONTAINER AND THE SCALE IN HER PURSE. SHE WAS ASKED WHO THESE ITEMS BELONGED TO, WHICH SHE STATED HER. THE DEFENDANT FURTHER ADVISED SHE HAD BEEN USING METHAMPHETAMINE FOR TWO YEARS NOW, AND SHE HAD BEEN TRYING TO GET CLEAN FOR THE PAST EIGHT MONTHS. SEE RECORDED INTERVIEW FOR FURTHER. THE METHAMPHETAMINE WAS TESTED UTILIZING A FIELD PRESUMPTIVE TEST KIT, WHICH YIELDED A POSITIVE RESULT FOR METHAMPHETAMINE. THE CLEAR BAGGIE OF METHAMPHETAMINE WAS WEIGHED, WHICH WEIGHED APPROXIMATELY 1.5 GRAMS. THE METHAMPHETAMINE AND DRUG PARAPHERNALIA WERE COLLECTED BY THIS DEPUTY AND TURNED IN TO EVIDENCE. THE DEFENDANT WAS ADVISED SHE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE AND POSSESSION OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA. SHE WAS HANDCUFFED, DOUBLE-LOCKED, AND PLACED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANT WAS CHARGED WITH ONE COUNT OF POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE WITH A BOND SET AT $2,000.00 AND ONE COUNT OF POSSESSION OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA WITH A BOND SET AT $1,000.00 FOR A TOTAL BOND OF $3,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. WHILE AT THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY, THE DEFENDANT WAS ISSUED A CITRUS COUNTY WRITTEN WARNING, NUMBER 405478B, FOR THE INOPERABLE HEADLIGHT. |
