DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HIS 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: RECTANGLE AWS DIGITAL SCALE, CALI CRUSHER/GRINDER WITH A GREEN LEAFY SUBSTANCE INSIDE AND ONE GLASS GRAVLABS PIPE WITH CANNABIS RESIN, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTES 893.145 AND 893.147(1)(B) ON 102513, AT APPROXIMATELY 2151 HOURS, WHILE DRIVING MY MARKED PATROL VEHICLE SOUTHBOUND ON HIGHWAY 19 AND HIGHWAY 44, I OBSERVED A SILVER 2001 CHEVROLET IMPALA FOUR DOOR SEDAN BEARING FLORIDA LICENSE PLATE NUMBER TANNERR, DRIVING SOUTHBOUND IN FRONT OF MY MARKED PATROL VEHICLE. I OBSERVED THE DECAL ON THE VEHICLE TO READ 0913. THE VEHICLE LICENSE PLATE WAS RAN THROUGH FCIC/NCIC, WHICH RESULTED IN THE DISCOVERY OF THE REGISTRATION DECAL BEING EXPIRED ON 092713. AT THAT TIME, I ACTIVATED MY EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT AND CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP ON THE ABOVE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE TURNED RIGHT ON KINGS BAY DRIVE AND STOPPED. I THEN APPROACHED THE VEHICLE, WHERE I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER/DEFENDANT, MR TANNER ROAN. UPON MY ARRIVAL AT THE DRIVERâS WINDOW, I IMMEDIATELY DETECTED A STRONG ODOR WHICH I RECOGNIZED TO BE CANNABIS, DUE TO MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE. I THEN ADVISED THE DEFENDANT WHY I STOPPED HIM AND ASKED IF THERE WAS ANYTHING ILLEGAL IN THE VEHICLE, TO WHICH HE SEEMED VERY NERVOUS AND HESITANT TO ANSWER AND STATED âNO THERE ISNâTâ. I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT TO BE HONEST WITH ME, TO WHICH HE ADVISED THAT IF IT SMELLS LIKE WEED IT WAS BECAUSE HE AND HIS FRIENDS HAD SMOKED A ROACH IN THE VEHICLE ON 102413. AT THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT REACHED INTO THE DRIVERâS DOOR WITH HIS LEFT HAND AND PRODUCED A ROACH CONTAINING A GREEN LEAFY SUBSTANCE, WHICH I RECOGNIZED TO BE CANNABIS DUE TO MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE. THE DEFENDANT ALSO HAD A DOG IN THE BACK SEAT. I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT THAT I COULD INDEED SMELL MARIJUANA IN HIS VEHICLE AND ASKED HIM IF I COULD SEARCH THE VEHICLE, TO WHICH HE STATED THAT I COULD. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT TO STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND AT THAT TIME DEPUTY CLARK ARRIVED ON SCENE. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF THERE WAS ANYTHING ELSE IN THE VEHICLE, TO WHICH HE STATED THAT THERE WAS NOT. THE DEFENDANT ALSO GAVE ME PERMISSION TO SEARCH HIS PERSON, WHICH MET with NEGATIVE RESULTS. K-9 DEPUTY HRYC ARRIVED ON SCENE WHILE I WAS BEGINNING MY SEARCH OF THE VEHICLE. DEPUTY HRYC AND I LOCATED A black JANSPORT BACKPACK INSIDE THE VEHICLE ON THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT. UPON FURTHER SEARCH OF THE BACKPACK, DEPUTY HRYC AND I LOCATED TWO TUPPERWARE CONTAINERS CONTAINING A GREEN LEAFY SUBSTANCE WHICH I IDENTIFIED AS CANNABIS DUE TO MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE AND ALSO LATER FIELD TESTED POSITIVE FOR CANNABIS. DEPUTY HYRC THEN DEPLOYED HIS K-9 UNIT WHO ALERTED ON THE VEHICLE. FURTHER SEARCH OF THE BLACK JANSPORT BACKPACK REVEALED TWO GLASS VIALS CONTAINING AN UNKNOWN WHITE CRYSTALLINE SUBSTANCE AND TINFOIL CONTAINING AN UNKNOWN ORANGE CRUMBLY SUBSTANCE. ALSO IN THE BACKPACK, WE DISCOVERED A black RECTANGLE âAWSâ BRAND DIGITAL SCALE, A âCALI CRUSHERâ GRINDER WITH A GREEN LEAFY SUBSTANCE INSIDE, WHICH LATER FIELD TESTED POSITIVE FOR CANNABIS AND A GLASS GRAVLABS BRAND PIPE CONTAINING A SUBSTANCE WHICH LATER FIELD TESTED AS CANNABIS RESIN. AT THAT TIME DEPUTY CLARK PLACED THE DEFENDANT IN HANDCUFFS, (DOUBLE LOCKED), BEHIND HIS BACK, WHERE HE WAS SEARCHED AND SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. I THEN READ THE DEFENDANT MIRANDA RIGHTS VIA PREPRINTED AGENCY CARD AND ASKED IF HE UNDERSTOOD HIS RIGHTS, TO WHICH HE REPLIED THAT HE DID. I THEN ASKED HIM IF HE WISHED TO SPEAK WITH ME AT THIS TIME, TO WHICH HE ADVISED THAT HE WOULD NOT. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED TALKING TO THE DEFENDANT AND SHUT THE DOOR. DEPUTY HRYC HAD A DIGITAL SCALE AND THE TOTAL WEIGHT FOR THE CANNABIS WAS 20.3 GRAMS. THE UNKNOWN SUBSTANCES WERE ATTEMPTED TO BE TESTED ON SCENE; HOWEVER THE PRESUMPTIVE FIELD TEST KITS WOULD NOT TEST POSITIVE ON THE UNKNOWN SUBSTANCES. DEPUTY C PHILLIPS ARRIVED ON SCENE AND ADVISED THAT HE WOULD ATTEMPT TO HAVE HAZMAT IDENTIFY THE SUBSTANCE, WHICH ALSO MET WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. AFTER A SIGNIFICANT LAPSE OF TIME, I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE WOULD BE WILLING TO IDENTIFY THE UNKNOWN SUBSTANCES AND SPEAK WITH US. THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT THE GLASS VIALS CONTAINING THE UNKNOWN WHITE CRYSTALLINE SUBSTANCE WAS âDMTâ, WHICH IS DIMETHYLTRYPTAMINE. THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT THIS WAS A HALLUCINOGENIC DRUG. HE STATED that THE TINFOIL CONTAINING THE ORANGE CRUMBLY SUBSTANCE WAS A BY-PRODUCT OF THE DIMETHYLTRYPTAMINE. FURTHER RESEARCH SHOWED THAT THE DIMETHYLTRYPTAMINE WAS A SCHEDULE ONE HALLUCINOGENIC; HOWEVER WE WERE UNABLE TO TEST IT. THE UNKNOWN SUBSTANCES WILL BE SUBMITTED with A TRACK IT REQUEST TO THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR TESTING. WHEN THE RESULTS FROM THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT ARE RECEIVED I WILL BE SUPPLEMENTING THIS CASE IN REFERENCE THE UNKNOWN SUBSTANCES. ANIMAL CONTROL AND ADAMâS TOWING WERE CALLED TO THE SCENE BY TELETYPE. DEPUTY HRYC REMAINED ON SCENE WITH THE DOG AND VEHICLE UNTIL THEY ARRIVED. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY, I ZEROED THE TRIPLE BEAM BALANCE AND WEIGHED THE CANNABIS AGAIN, WHICH RESULTED IN 20.3 GRAMS WITHOUT THE CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE AND 23.2 GRAMS WITH THE BAGGIE. THE CANNABIS, UNKNOWN SUBSTANCES AND PARAPHERNALIA WERE LATER TURNED IN TO EVIDENCE. THE DEFENDANT WAS CHARGED WITH POSSESSION OF CANNABIS OVER 20 GRAMS WITH A $5,000.00 BOND, AND POSSESSION OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA WITH A $500.00 BOND, A TOTAL BOND OF $5,500.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE DEFENDANT WAS ISSUED WRITTEN WARNING NUMBER 373825B FOR THE EXPIRED DECAL. THE black JANSPORT CONTAINING THE DEFENDANTâS PERSONAL BELONGING WAS TURNED OF THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY STAFF. |
