| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: GERENA, GABRIEL 1361 (16-41142) DID KNOWING HER DRIVERâS LICENSE OR DRIVING PRIVILEGE HAD BEEN CANCELLED, SUSPENDED OR REVOKED, DRIVE A MOTOR VEHICLE UPON THE HIGHWAYS OF THIS STATE WHILE SUCH LICENSE OR PRIVILEGE WAS CANCELLED, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 322.34(2)(A). ON 032716, I WAS TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON MAIN STREET WHEN I OBSERVED A SILVER IN COLOR GMC PICKUP TRUCK BEARING FLORIDA LICENSE PLATE NUMBER AJUV37 IN FRONT OF ME ALSO TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON MAIN STREET. I OBSERVED THE SILVER IN COLOR PICKUP TRUCK TO HAVE NO TAG LIGHTS FOR WHICH I CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP AT THE INTERSECTION OF WEST MAIN STREET AND NORTH MONTGOMERY AVENUE IN INVERNESS. I ASKED THE DRIVER/DEFENDANT, MS WENDY LYNN VERONE, FOR HER DRIVER'S LICENSE, REGISTRATION AND PROOF OF INSURANCE. THE DEFENDANT PROVIDED ME A FLORIDA IDENTIFICATION CARD. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF SHE HAD A VALID DRIVER'S LICENSE. SHE STATED YES SHE DID, SHE HAD GOT IT REINSTATED LAST WEEK, BUT SHE WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE THE DATE AND WHAT JUDGE REINSTATED HER DRIVER'S LICENSE. I RAN THE DEFENDANT THROUGH TELETYPE UTILIZING HER DRIVER'S LICENSE NUMBER, WHICH THEY NOTIFIED ME THE DEFENDANT'S DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED ON 080811. I ALSO RAN THE DEFENDANT'S DRIVER'S LICENSE NUMBER THROUGH THE DRIVER AND VEHICLE INFORMATION DATABASE, WHICH SHOWED HER DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED ON 080811, AND ALSO SHOWED THE DEFENDANT HAD RECEIVED NOTIFICATIONS ON 101613, 082714 AND 040115, NOTIFYING HER THAT HER DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED. AT THAT POINT, I HAD THE DEFENDANT STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I EXPLAINED TO HER THAT HER DRIVER'S LICENSE HAD NOT BEEN REINSTATED, AND HER DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED ON 080811. I ALSO EXPLAINED TO HER THAT THE LAST NOTIFICATION OF HER DRIVER'S LICENSE HAD BEEN SUSPENDED WAS ON 040115. I THEN ASKED HER IF SHE KNEW HER DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED, WHICH SHE STATED YES. AT THAT POINT, I PLACED THE DEFENDANT UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED, DOUBLE-LOCKED, BEHIND HER BACK AND SECURED HER IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. SHE WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $500.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. A TRAFFIC WARNING, NUMBER 407471B, FOR DRIVING WITHOUT TAG LIGHTS WAS GIVEN TO THE DEFENDANT AT THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY ALONG WITH HER PROBABLE CAUSE AFFIDAVIT. A FLORIDA UNIFORM CRIMINAL TRAFFIC CITATION, NUMBER A1P2LHP, WAS ALSO GIVEN TO THE DEFENDANT FOR KNOWINGLY DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED OR REVOKED. NO FURTHER ACTION TAKEN BY THIS DEPUTY. |
