DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HER ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION WITH THE INTENT TO USE, OR DID UNLAWFULLY USE, AN OBJECT INTENDED OR DESIGNED FOR USE IN STORING, CONCEALING OR INJECTING, INGESTING, INHALING OR OTHERWISE INTRODUCING INTO THE HUMAN BODY, A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: A CELLOPHANE WRAPPER THAT CONTAINED METHAMPHETAMINE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTES 893.147(1). ON 041917, WHILE CONDUCTING A SECURITY CHECK OF THE WAL-MART PARKING LOT LOCATED AT 6885 SOUTH SUNCOAST BOULEVARD IN HOMOSASSA, I OBSERVED A GOLD IN COLOR VAN WITH TWO SUBJECTS AND A BABY SLEEPING INSIDE THAT MATCHED A "BOLO" THAT WAS SENT OUT BY AN EASTSIDE DEPUTY. THE "BOLO" STATED THAT THERE WAS PROBABLE CAUSE FOR THE ARREST OF MR BRIAN BOYINGTON. UPON MAKING CONTACT WITH THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE, I PLACED THE PASSENGER IN CUSTODY IN REFERENCE TO THE "BOLO". I RECEIVED PERMISSION TO SEARCH THE VEHICLE FROM THE PASSENGER, AS WELL AS THE DRIVER, LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT, MS ALYSSA THOMAS. UPON SEARCHING THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHERE THE DEFENDANT WAS LOCATED, I FOUND A MENTHOL PACK OF CIGARETTES ON THE DASHBOARD. UPON LOOKING INSIDE THE PACK OF CIGARETTES, I LOCATED A CELLOPHANE WRAPPER THAT CONTAINED A CRYSTAL LIKE SUBSTANCE WHICH WAS LATER TESTED UTILIZING AN AGENCY ISSUED METHAMPHETAMINE TEST KIT, WHICH YIELDED A POSITIVE RESULT. DURING A POST MIRANDA INTERVIEW, THE DEFENDANT ADMITTED TO SMOKING CIGARETTES; HOWEVER, DENIED THAT THE PACK OF CIGARETTES ON THE DASHBOARD WAS HERS. THE DEFENDANT ALSO ADMITTED TO BEING AN AVID METHAMPHETAMINE USER. I CONDUCTED AN INTERVIEW WITH THE PASSENGER, WHO ADVISED THAT THE DEFENDANT SMOKES MENTHOL CIGARETTES AND NORMALLY KEEPS THEM ON THE DASH OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN SHOWN THE PACK OF CIGARETTES, THE PASSENGER ADVISED THAT THEY BELONGED TO THE DEFENDANT. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. UPON ARRIVAL, THE DEFENDANT WAS CHARGED WITH ONE COUNT OF POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE WITH A BOND OF $2,000.00 AND ONE COUNT OF POSSESSION OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA WITH A BOND OF $1,000.00, FOR A TOTAL BOND AMOUNT OF $3,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
