ON 121511 WHILE SITTING STATIONERY CONDUCTING TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT ON PLEASANT GROVE ROAD in the SCHOOL ZONE OF PLEASANT GROVE ELEMENTARY I OBSERVED A WHITE CHEVY TRUCK TRAVELLING SOUTHBOUND ON PLEASANT GROVE ROAD AND ESTIMATED ITS SPEED AT APPROXIMATELY 36 MILES PER HOUR (MPH). I ACTIVATED MY FRONT RADAR WHICH GAVE A CLEAR DOPPLER TONE and A READING OF 36 MPH AND WENT UP TO 37 MPH. AT THAT TIME, I CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP ON THE VEHICLE AT SOUTH PLEASANT GROVE ROAD AND THE FIRE TOWER. I MADE CONTACT WITH the DRIVER, WHO PROVIDED ME WITH THE REGISTRATION AND INSURANCE. I ASKED IF SHE KNEW WHY I WAS STOPPING HER, TO WHICH SHE STATED NO. I ASKED HER IF SHE HAD SEEN THE SCHOOL ZONE FLASHING LIGHTS and she STATED YES. SHE BEGAN TO SAY SHE SLOWED DOWN BUT THEN STOPPED AND STATED THAT IT WAS NOT HER TRUCK and she WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH IT. I ASKED HER TO PROVIDE ME with HER FLORIDA DRIVER'S LICENSE, TO which SHE COULD NOT GET IT OUT OF HER WALLET. AT THAT TIME, I COPIED DONE HER NAME and ASKED HER IF HER LICENSE WAS VALID. SHE LOOKED AT ME and STATED IT SHOULD BE. I ASKED IF IT WAS NOT VALID WHAT WOULD BE the REASON. SHE STATED SHE DID NOT KNOW, AT which TIME, I RAN THE DEFENDANT'S NAME THROUGH "DAVID" AND IT PROVIDED ME WITH the DEFENDANT'S INFORMATION AND VERIFIED THAT HER LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED.

THAT INFORMATION WAS VERIFIED THROUGH TELETYPE I THEN MADE CONTACT BACK WITH THE DEFENDANT AND ASKED HER IF HER LICENSE WAS VALID AGAIN. SHE STATED that she DID GET A TICKET IN HERNANDO COUNTY AND that she HAD NOT MADE MONTHLY PAYMENTS YET. I ASKED HER TO STEP OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I THEN ADVISED HER SHE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR DRIVING ON A SUSPENDED LICENSE. SHE WAS HANDCUFFED, DOUBLE LOCKED BEHIND HER BACK AND PLACED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE.
