ON 120807 AT 2322 HOURS, I WAS DRIVING MY PATROL VEHICLE WESTBOUND ON BALLOON LANE AND OBSERVED A WHITE MALE LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT, MR WILLIAM BUNTING, WHO WAS ALSO WALKING WESTBOUND ON BALLOON LANE. UPON THE DEFENDANT OBSERVING MY PATROL VEHICLE APPROACHING HIM I OBSERVED HIM THROW WHAT LOOKED TO BE A CLEAR OBJECT ON THE GROUND. UPON OBSERVING THIS I STOPPED BY PATROL VEHICLE AND MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT. I IMMEDIATELY RADIOED FOR BACK-UP, AT WHICH TIME SERGEANT HAY ARRIVED ON SCENE. I THEN WALKED TO THE IMMEDIATE AREA THAT I OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT THROW THE OBJECT OUT OF HIS HAND. AT THAT TIME I FOUND A CLEAR GLASS CRACK PIPE LAYING ON THE GROUND IN THE EXACT LOCATION I SAW THE DEFENDANT THROW THE OBJECT. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE PIPE WAS ALSO WARM TO THE TOUCH AND THERE WAS CONDENSATION INSIDE THE PIPE AS THOUGH SOMEBODY HAD JUST SMOKED OUT OF IT. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR POSSESSION OF PARAPHERNALIA. HE WAS HANDCUFFED AND SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. WHILE EN ROUTE TO THE DETENTION FACILITY THE DEFENDANT UTTERED TO ME THAT HE HAD A CONFRONTATION WITH MULTIPLE SUBJECTS JUST PRIOR TO ME MAKING CONTACT WITH HIM AND THAT IT WAS POSSIBLE THAT ONE OF THE UNKNOWN SUBJECTS PLACED THE CRACK PIPE IN HIS POCKET. THE DEFENDANT FURTHER EXPLAINED THAT UPON SEEING MY MARKED PATROL VEHICLE HE GOT SCARED AND THREW THE CONTENTS IN HIS POCKETS OUT, HOWEVER, HE STATED HE WAS NOT AWARE THAT HE WAS IN POSSESSION OF THE CRACK PIPE. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $500.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
