ON 011716, WHILE I WAS CONDUCTING STATIONARY TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT ON WEST GULF TO LAKE HIGHWAY IN THE AREA OF NORTH CREDE AVENUE, I OBSERVED AN OLDER MODEL BLUE CHEVROLET PICKUP TRUCK FAIL TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT THAT INTERSECTION. the VEHICLE TURNED WESTBOUND ONTO WEST GULF TO LAKE HIGHWAY FROM NORTH CREDE AVENUE. \t \tI THEN PULLED BEHIND that VEHICLE AND OBSERVED the FLORIDA LICENSE PLATE TO BE 0859QN AND ACTIVATED MY OVERHEAD EMERGENCY LIGHTS TO CONDUCT A TRAFFIC STOP. the VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP IN the PARKING LOT OF MANATEE LANES OFF OF WEST GULF TO LAKE HIGHWAY. \t \tI THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER/DEFENDANT OF the VEHICLE WHO LATER IDENTIFIED HIMSELF AS MR STEPHEN ROSSMAN. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT FOR HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE, REGISTRATION AND PROOF OF INSURANCE, TO WHICH HE REPLIED HE DID NOT HAVE ANY OF THOSE THINGS. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE HAD A VALID DRIVER'S LICENSE AT ALL AND HE EXPLAINED THAT HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED AND HAS BEEN SUSPENDED FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME. I THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE HAD ANYTHING ILLEGAL IN THE VEHICLE AND HE STATED HE DID NOT. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE would CONSENT TO A SEARCH OF the VEHICLE AND HE REPLIED NO. \t \tI THEN RETURNED TO MY PATROL VEHICLE AND REQUESTED K-9 DEPUTY INDORATO TO ASSIST ON MY TRAFFIC STOP. K-9 DEPUTY INDORATO ARRIVED WHILE I WAS COMPLETING A WRITTEN WARNING AND A FLORIDA UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION (UTC) AND GATHERING INFORMATION ON THE DEFENDANT THROUGH TELETYPE. \t \tPRIOR TO COMPLETING THOSE TASKS, K-9 DEPUTY INDORATO DEPLOYED HIS CANINE PARTNER REPO AND COMPLETED A 360 DEGREE FREE AIR SNIFF OF the 1984 CHEVROLET PICKUP TRUCK, BEARING FLORIDA LICENSE PLATE 0859QN. K-9 DEPUTY INDORATO ADVISED THAT CANINE REPO ALERTED TO THE VEHICLE. SEE HIS K-9 SUPPLEMENT FOR FURTHER. \t \tTELETYPE ADVISED ME VIA THE RADIO THAT THE DEFENDANT WAS A HABITUAL TRAFFIC OFFENDER AND HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE HAD BEEN REVOKED SINCE 012408. \t \tI THEN APPROACHED the VEHICLE AND ASKED THE DEFENDANT TO STEP OUT. I THEN PLACED THE DEFENDANT IN HANDCUFFS (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK AND ASKED HIM IF HE HAD ANYTHING ILLEGAL ON HIS PERSON. THE DEFENDANT STATED HE HAD A LOT OF THINGS ON HIM, INCLUDING MULTIPLE KNIVES AND BRASS KNUCKLES. \t \tUPON SEARCHING THE DEFENDANT, MULTIPLE POCKET KNIVES WERE LOCATED, AS WELL AS A PAIR OF SILVER IN COLOR BRASS KNUCKLES IN HIS RIGHT FRONT PANTS POCKET AND A BLACK IN COLOR DIGITAL SCALE IN HIS LEFT JACKET POCKET. ALSO LOCATED ON HIS PERSON IN HIS LEFT BREAST POCKET OF HIS T-SHIRT WERE THREE CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIES WITH MARIJUANA SYMBOLS CONTAINING A GREEN LEAFY SUBSTANCE, WHICH THROUGH MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE I IDENTIFIED AS CANNABIS. THESE THREE BAGGIES WERE LATER WEIGHED AND WERE APPROXIMATELY 4 GRAMS EACH. LOCATED IN the DEFENDANT'S FRONT LEFT PANTS POCKET WAS A CHERRY COLA TIC-TAC CONTAINER, WHICH WAS LATER DISCOVERED TO CONTAIN TWO SMALL CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIES CONTAINING A CRYSTAL LIKE SUBSTANCE, AS WELL AS A SMALL CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE CONTAINING A WHITE POWDER SUBSTANCE AND A SMALL CUT STRAW. THROUGH MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE, I IDENTIFIED THESE ITEMS TO BE METHAMPHETAMINE AND COCAINE. THEY WERE ALSO FIELD TESTED AND WERE POSITIVE FOR METHAMPHETAMINE AND COCAINE. \t \tI THEN PLACED THE DEFENDANT IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND CONTINUED TO ASSIST K-9 DEPUTY INDORATO IN A HAND SEARCH OF THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE. K-9 DEPUTY INDORATO ADVISED THAT HE HAD LOCATED A QUANTITY OF CANNABIS IN the PASSENGER COMPARTMENT OF the VEHICLE. THE CANNABIS THAT K-9 DEPUTY INDORATO HAD LOCATED WAS LATER WEIGHED and CAME TO A TOTAL WEIGHT OF 47.9 GRAMS. SEE HIS SUPPLEMENT FOR FURTHER. \t \tI LOCATED A SMALL BLACK AND YELLOW RUBBER CONTAINER IN the CENTER CONSOLE OF THE VEHICLE. UPON OPENING THE CONTAINER I OBSERVED A BROWN WAXY SUBSTANCE, THAT THROUGH MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE I IDENTIFIED AS CANNABIS WAX. A SECOND BLACK and YELLOW RUBBER CONTAINER WAS FOUND IN A SMALL CARDBOARD BOX. UPON OPENING THE SECOND BLACK and YELLOW CONTAINER, I LOCATED MORE CANNABIS WAX. THE CANNABIS WAX WAS LATER WEIGHED AND TOTALED APPROXIMATELY .6 GRAMS. \t \tI THEN READ THE DEFENDANT, WHO WAS STILL SEATED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE, HIS MIRANDA WARNINGS FROM AN AGENCY PREPRINTED CARD. the DEFENDANT STATED HE UNDERSTOOD HIS RIGHTS AND WISHED TO SPEAK WITH ME. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT WHERE HE WAS GETTING the CANNABIS FROM AND WHERE WAS HE GOING WITH IT. HE EXPLAINED HE PICKED THE CANNABIS UP FROM HUDSON and WAS DELIVERING IT TO AN UNIDENTIFIED SUBJECT IN CITRUS COUNTY TO EARN $20.00. THE DEFENDANT ALSO EXPLAINED HE MADE THE CANNABIS WAX HIMSELF. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT ABOUT THE TIC-TAC CONTAINER AND HE STATED, "OH, THE COCAINE AND METH?" THE DEFENDANT THEN EXPLAINED THAT HE HAD ACQUIRED THE COCAINE and METHAMPHETAMINE FOR PERSONAL USE. \t \tI ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE HAD A CONCEALED WEAPONS PERMIT. HE EXPLAINED HE DID NOT AND THAT HE IS A CONVICTED FELON. THE DEFENDANT STATED HE HAD NOT TO HIS KNOWLEDGE HAD HIS RIGHTS RESTORED. SINCE THE DEFENDANT IS A CONVICTED FELON, HE EXPLAINED HE CARRIES THE BRASS KNUCKLES BECAUSE HE CANNOT CARRY A FIREARM.
