ON 091916, I RESPONDED TO THE AREA OF OST-WEST STREET AND SOUTH GROSS AVENUE TO BACK UP K-9 DEPUTY HRYC (0701). UPON ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH DEPUTY HRYC, WHO ADVISED THAT THE RED FOUR DOOR BUICK BEARING FLORIDA LICENSE PLATE 7190IX WAS TRAVELING 38 MILES PER HOUR IN A 30 MILES PER HOUR ZONE, AT WHICH TIME A TRAFFIC STOP WAS CONDUCTED. CONTACT WAS THEN MADE WITH THE DRIVER, LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT, MS TAMI JEAN SMITH. WHILE THE DEFENDANT WAS LOOKING FOR HER INFORMATION IN HER PURSE SHE LIFTED UP A PLASTIC CONTAINER OF BABY WIPES WHICH HAD A CLEARLY VISIBLE SYRINGE STICKING OUT OF IT. DEPUTY HRYC ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF SHE WAS DIABETIC, TO WHICH SHE ADVISED THAT SHE WAS NOT AND HANDED THE SYRINGE TO DEPUTY HRYC. HE OBSERVED THE CLEAR LIQUID IN THE SYRINGE AND THE LIQUID SUBSTANCE WAS TESTED UTILIZING AN AGENCY ISSUED FIELD TEST KIT, WHICH YIELDED A POSITIVE RESULT FOR THE PRESENCE OF METHAMPHETAMINE. I STOOD BY WITH THE DEFENDANT WHILE DEPUTY HRYC COMPLETED HIS TRAFFIC STOP AND NO OTHER CONTRABAND WAS LOCATED. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN PLACED UNDER ARREST, SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANT WAS CHARGED WITH POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE (METHAMPHETAMINE), WITH A BOND SET AT $2,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE SYRINGE CONTAINING 3 CC'S OF A CLEAR LIQUID WHICH TESTED POSITIVE FOR METHAMPHETAMINE WAS TAKEN INTO EVIDENCE BY DEPUTY HRYC. THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE WAS LEFT ON SCENE AND SECURED PER HER REQUEST. THE DEFENDANT WAS ISSUED WRITTEN WARNING NUMBER 381256B, FOR SPEEDING. NO FURTHER ACTION TAKEN. |
