| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: RODRIGUEZ, VERONICA 0494 (AR08105411) DID DRIVE A MOTOR VEHICLE UPON A HIGHWAY IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA WITHOUT HAVING A VALID DRIVER'S LICENSE AUTHORIZING HIM TO DO SO, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE NUMBER 322.03(1). ON 092608 I RESPONDED TO THE AREA OF SOUTH FLORIDA AVENUE IN REFERENCE TO BOLOING FOR A SILVER PICK-UP TRUCK OCCUPIED BY THREE INDIVIDUALS REGARDING A THEFT WHICH HAD JUST OCCURRED AT THE WINN DIXIE ON HIGHLAND BOULEVARD. PER DISPATCH, SHE ADVISED ME THAT THE COMPLAINANT WAS FOLLOWING THE PICK-UP TRUCK AND THAT THE PICK-UP TRUCK WAS TRAVELING NORTHBOUND ON NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE. I ADVISED DISPATCH TO SHOW ME IN THE AREA ATTEMPTING TO LOCATE. WHILE SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, FACING NORTHBOUND, MY CALL WAS UPDATED STATING THAT THE SUBJECTS THAT HAD TAKEN THE ITEMS FROM WINN DIXIE HAD THEIR RIGHT BLINKER LIGHT ON. AS I READ THAT UPDATE ON THE COMPUTER I OBSERVED A SILVER PICK-UP TRUCK DRIVE BY ME WITH ITS RIGHT BLINKER ON. I CONFIRMED WITH DISPATCH IF IT WAS THE COMPLAINANT THAT WAS IN THE SILVER TRUCK WITH THE BLINKER ON OR WAS IT THE SUBJECTS WHO HAD TAKEN ITEMS FROM WINN DIXIE. AT THAT TIME SHE ADVISED THE COMPLAINANT WAS IN A BLACK PICK-UP TRUCK. AS I LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR I OBSERVED A BLACK PICK-UP BEHIND ME, AT WHICH TIME I TURNED MY OVERHEAD LIGHTS ON AND DID TRAFFIC STOP. I ADVISED DISPATCH AS TO OUR LOCATION; NORTH FLORIDA AVENUE AND ARLINGTON AS I EXITED MY VEHICLE. I HAD THE DRIVER OF THE PICKUP TRUCK. LATER IDENTIFIED AS STEPHEN MCBRIDE, VIA FLORIDA IDENTIFICATION CARD, EXIT THE VEHICLE AND I ALSO ADVISED DISPATCH THAT THERE WERE FOUR SUBJECTS IN THE TRUCK. MR MCBRIDE EXITED THE VEHICLE TOWARD MY PATROL CAR, AT WHICH TIME I ADVISED HIM OF THE REASON I HAD PULLED HIM OVER. I ADVISED WE HAD A WITNESS WHO HAD OBSERVED SOMEONE IN THIS VEHICLE TAKE CERTAIN ITEMS FROM WINN DIXIE. AT THAT TIME MR MCBRIDE STATED HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. AT THIS TIME I OBSERVED SEVERAL BOXES OF BEER IN THE BED OF THE PICK-UP TRUCK AS WELL AS SOME STEAKS. I THEN ASKED MR MCBRIDE IF HE HAD HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE ON HIM, TO WHICH HE HANDED ME A FLORIDA IDENTIFICATION CARD. AT THAT TIME DEPUTY DICAMILLO ARRIVED ON SCENE AND I ADVISED HIM THAT I WAS GOING TO ATTEMPT TO GET EVERYONE OUT OF THE VEHICLE, AND HE WENT TO SPEAK TO THE WITNESS IN THE BLACK TRUCK ACROSS THE STREET. AT THAT TIME I HAD THE FEMALE SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT EXIT THE VEHICLE AND AGAIN I ASKED IF SHE KNEW AS TO THE REASONS WHY I WAS HERE, AND SHE HESITATED, AS I OBSERVED THERE WERE ACTUALLY FIVE SUBJECTS IN THE PICK-UP TRUCK AND I IMMEDIATELY NOTICED CANS OF BEER THROWN ON THE FLOORBOARD, HALF FULL. AT THAT TIME DEPUTY DICAMILLO TOOK OVER THE SCENE REFERENCE THE THEFT, AT WHICH TIME I CHECKED THROUGH DHSMV TO MAKE SURE MR STEPHEN MCBRIDE HAD A VALID DRIVER'S LICENSE, WHICH CAME BACK THAT MR MCBRIDE ONLY HAD A VALID IDENTIFICATION CARD. WHEN MR MCBRIDE WAS ASKED ABOUT HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE HE APOLOGIZED FOR LYING ABOUT IT. MR MCBRIDE WAS AWARE HE DID NOT HAVE A DRIVER'S LICENSE. I ADVISED MR MCBRIDE THAT HE WAS UNDER ARREST FOR DRIVING WITHOUT A DRIVER'S LICENSE AT WHICH TIME HE WAS HAND CUFFED, DOUBLE LOCKED AND PLACED IN THE BACK SEAT OF DEPUTY DE CAMILLO'S PATROL CAR AND WAS TRANSPORTED BY DEPUTY DE CAMILLO. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
