ON 102315, I RESPONDED TO THE INTERSECTION OF WEST NORVELL BRYANT HIGHWAY AND NORTH MEADOWCREST BOULEVARD TO ASSIST DEPUTY LABORDA (0735) WITH A TRAFFIC STOP. UPON MY ARRIVAL, DEPUTY LABORDA INFORMED ME THAT HE HAD PULLED OVER THE MAROON FORD UTILITY VEHICLE, BEARING LICENSE PLATE NUMBER BZDI50, FOR THE EQUIPMENT VIOLATION OF THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT BEING OUT. DEPUTY LABORDA INFORMED ME THAT THE DRIVER, MR CHARLES MORGAN, AND PASSENGER/DEFENDANT, MS SUSAN CHANCE, HAD GIVEN CONSENT TO ALLOW US TO CONDUCT A SEARCH OF THE VEHICLE'S INTERIOR. I REQUESTED THAT MR MORGAN AND THE DEFENDANT TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. I CONDUCTED A THOROUGH SEARCH OF THE VEHICLE'S INTERIOR, WHILE DEPUTY LABORDA ISSUED THE DRIVER A WRITTEN WARNING, NUMBER 396010B, FOR THE EQUIPMENT VIOLATION. WHILE CONDUCTING MY SEARCH OF THE VEHICLE'S INTERIOR, I DISCOVERED A BLUE PURSE IN THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT WHERE THE DEFENDANT HAD BEEN SITTING. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF THE PURSE BELONGED TO HER, TO WHICH SHE STATED IT DID. I THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF SHE MINDED IF I SEARCHED THE PURSE, TO WHICH SHE GAVE CONSENT. WHILE SEARCHING THE PURSE AND ITS CONTENTS, I DISCOVERED A SMALL CERAMIC SMOKING PIPE CONTAINING A SMALL AMOUNT OF WHAT I DETERMINED TO BE MARIJUANA, BASED ON MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE. I THEN QUESTIONED THE DEFENDANT ABOUT THE PIPE, TO WHICH SHE STATED "A FRIEND GAVE THAT TO ME EARLIER TONIGHT. I DIDN'T EVEN SMOKE IT YET AND WASN'T going TO AND I'M ON PROBATION PLEASE DON'T TAKE ME TO JAIL." I THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF SHE HAD ANY OTHER NARCOTICS OR PARAPHERNALIA CONCEALED ON HER PERSON, TO WHICH SHE STATED SHE DID NOT. AT that TIME, DEPUTY LABORDA INSTRUCTED THE DEFENDANT TO WALK TO THE REAR OF HIS PATROL VEHICLE WHERE HE CONDUCTED AN INTERVIEW WITH THE DEFENDANT. SEE HIS SUPPLEMENT REPORT FOR FURTHER. AT THE CONCLUSION OF DEPUTY LABORDA'S INTERVIEW, THE DEFENDANT WAS INSTRUCTED TO STAND AT THE FRONT OF DEPUTY LABORDA'S PATROL VEHICLE AND REMOVE THE ITEMS WHICH SHE HAD INFORMED DEPUTY LABORDA SHE WAS CONCEALING IN HER BRA. SAID ITEMS CONSISTED OF 4 HYPODERMIC NEEDLES, ONE METAL SPOON, AND A PIECE OF PAPER CONTAINING ONE HALF OF A DILAUDID PILL. AT THAT TIME, I INFORMED THE DEFENDANT SHE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE AND TWO COUNTS OF POSSESSION OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA. SHE WAS HANDCUFFED BEHIND THE BACK (DOUBLE LOCKED) AND SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. DEPUTY LABORDA TOOK IN TO HIS POSSESSION THE 4 NEEDLES, THE SPOON AND THE HALF PILL OF DILAUDID, WHICH WERE TURNED INTO EVIDENCE. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $2,000.00 FOR POSSESSION OF THE CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE AND $1,000.00 EACH FOR THE TWO COUNTS OF POSSESSION DRUG PARAPHERNALIA, FOR A TOTAL BOND OF $4,000.00. |
