UPON ARRIVAL, I OBSERVED THE VEHICLEâS ENGINE TO BE RUNNING. I OBSERVED THE DRIVER/DEFENDANT, MR TRAVIS EVAN CRABB, TO BE SITTING IN THE DRIVER SEAT, PARTIALLY SLUMPED OVER. I KNOCKED ON THE WINDOW IN AN ATTEMPT TO AWAKEN HIM, HOWEVER, HE DID NOT. I OPENED THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND LIGHTLY SHOOK HIS LEFT SHOULDER WHICH DID WAKE HIM UP. HE APPEARED DISORIENTED AND THERE WAS AN ODOR OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE EMANATING FROM HIS BREATH. HIS EYES WERE GLASSY AND CONSISTENT WITH SOMEONE WHO WAS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL. I REQUESTED THAT HE STEP OUT OF HIS VEHICLE, WHICH HE DID. UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE, I OBSERVED THAT HE WAS EXTREMELY UNSTEADY ON HIS FEET AND THAT HE LOST HIS BALANCE SEVERAL TIMES AND HAD TO HOLD ON TO HIS TRUCK IN ORDER TO REMAIN STANDING. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN ESCORTED TO A FLAT AND LEVEL SURFACE. I OBSERVED HIM TO BE LIGHTLY SWAYING AND ADVISED HIM I BELIEVED HE WAS UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL. I ASKED HIM IF HE WOULD SUBMIT TO A SERIES OF FIELD SOBRIETY TASKS TO DETERMINE HIS LEVEL OF IMPAIRMENT, TO WHICH HE REFUSED. I THEN ADVISED HIM THAT HE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE. HE WAS HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK AND SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. CANINE DEPUTY RITLI DEPLOYED CANINE AJAX TO PERFORM AN EXTERIOR SNIFF ON THE DEFENDANTâS VEHICLE. CANINE DEPUTY RITLI ADVISED THAT CANINE AJAX HAD ALERTED TO THE ODOR OF NARCOTICS ON THE DEFENDANTâS VEHICLE. A SEARCH OF THE VEHICLE REVEALED CANNABIS AND A PACK OF ROLLING PAPERS IN THE CENTER CONSOLE. THE CANNABIS WAS LATER WEIGHED WITH AN APPROXIMATE WEIGHT OF ONE GRAM. IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK, I LOCATED A MOSSBERG 12 GAUGE SHOTGUN WHICH WAS SUBMITTED TO EVIDENCE FOR SAFEKEEPING. THE CANNABIS AND THE ROLLING PAPERS WERE LATER PACKAGED AND TURNED IN TO EVIDENCE. PRIOR TO LEAVING THE SCENE, THE DEFENDANTâS VEHICLE WAS SECURED AND LEFT ON SCENE, PER THE DEFENDANTâS REQUEST. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR FURTHER PROCESSING. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE DETENTION FACILITY THE DEFENDANT WAS READ HIS IMPLIED CONSENT AND MIRANDA WARNINGS ON CAMERA BY THE INTOXILYZER OPERATOR. THE DEFENDANT AGREED TO SUBMIT TO THE APPROVED TEST OF HIS BREATH WITH THE TEST RESULTS BEING .064 AND .063. THE DEFENDANT DID STATE TO THE INTOXILYZER OPERATOR THAT HE HAD ALSO SMOKED MARIJUANA EARLIER IN THE EVENING. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN CHARGED WITH ONE COUNT OF DRIVING UNDER INFLUENCE (DUI,) ONE COUNT OF POSSESSION OF MARIJUANA IN AN AMOUNT UNDER TWENTY GRAMS AND ONE COUNT OF POSSESSION OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA.
