ON 092415 AT APPROXIMATELY 1701 HOURS, WHILE STOPPED AT the INTERSECTION OF EAST MALVERN STREET AND SOUTH APOPKA AVENUE, I OBSERVED A BLUE PONTIAC APPROACH THE SAME INTERSECTION FROM the OPPOSITE DIRECTION ON EAST MALVERN STREET. AS THE VEHICLE APPROACHED the INTERSECTION, IT FAILED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP PRIOR TO THE CLEARLY MARKED STOP BAR BY the STOP SIGN AT THAT INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED STRAIGHT ACROSS SOUTH APOPKA AVENUE ON EAST MALVERN STREET, AT WHICH TIME I MADE A U-TURN AND PULLED BEHIND the VEHICLE, BEARING FLORIDA TAG 263QCH. I THEN ACTIVATED MY LIGHTS AND SIREN AND THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I THEN APPROACHED THE DRIVER SIDE OF the VEHICLE AND BEFORE I COULD ASK ANY QUESTIONS, THE DRIVER, MR JAMES PIXLEY, HELD OUT HIS FLORIDA IDENTIFICATION CARD AND STATED âI DONâT have A LICENSE.â I THEN TOOK HIS FLORIDA IDENTIFICATION CARD AND ASKED FOR HIS REGISTRATION AND PROOF OF INSURANCE. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE PASSENGER, MS THERESA HOLLON, AND ASKED FOR HER LICENSE OR IDENTIFICATION. SHE ADVISED SHE HAD LEFT IT AT HOME and HER INFORMATION WAS GATHERED. I THEN ASKED MR PIXLEY FOR CONSENT TO SEARCH HIS VEHICLE AND HE STATED YES, AS HE OPENED THE DORO and BEGAN STEPPING OUT. AS MR PIXLEY EXITED, HE WAS PATTED DOWN FOR WEAPONS and ASKED TO STAND AT THE FRONT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. MS HOLLON WAS THEN ASKED TO EXIT, WHICH SHE DID AND WAS ALSO ASKED TO STAND BY MY PATROL VEHICLE. SERGEANT A MARSHALL THEN STAYED WITH THE OCCUPANTS WHILE I BEGAN SEARCHING the VEHICLE. A SHORT TIME LATER, I OVERHEARD SERGEANT A MARSHALL ADVISE THAT HE HAD found A LOADED SYRINGE. SERGEANT A MARSHALL ADVISED THAT HE HAD ASKED MS HOLLON IF SHE HAD ANY WEAPONS, TO WHICH SHE STATED âNOT THAT I KNOW OF.â SERGEANT A MARSHALL THEN ASKED FOR PERMISSION TO SEARCH HER PURSE THAT SHE WAS HOLDING. MS HOLLON THEN HANDED HER PURSE TO SERGEANT A MARSHALL and AS HE BEGAN OPENING THE PURSE, HE COULD SEE A LOADED SYRINGE IN ONE OF THE OPEN POCKETS OF THE PURSE. A FURTHER SEARCH OF the PURSE REVEALED A SECOND LOADED SYRINGE AND SEVERAL ITEMS OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA, SUCH AS STRAWS AND SPOONS, BOTH HAVING RESIDUE ON THEM. MS HOLLON WAS THEN PLACED IN HANDCUFFS AND SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. THE LIQUID IN the SYRINGES FIELD TESTED POSITIVE FOR METHAMPHETAMINE AND WILL BE TURNED INTO EVIDENCE. the DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. SHE WAS CHARGED WITH ONE COUNT OF POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE WHERE HER BOND WAS SET AT $2,000.00 AND ONE COUNT OF POSSESSION OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA WHERE BOND WAS SET AT $1,000.00. HER TOTAL BOND WAS $3,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. MR PIXLEY WAS ISSUED A CRIMINAL TRAFFIC CITATION, NUMBER A126YUP, WITH A COURT DATE OF 102215 AT 1300 HOURS, FOR HIS DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED. MR PIXLEY THEN CALLED SOMEONE TO PICK HIM AND HIS VEHICLE UP. |
