| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: ZAREK, MICHAEL 1359 (16-152156) (AR16-21541) DID, KNOWING HIS 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, SUBSEQUENT A THIRD OFFENSE CONVICTION, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 322.34(2)(C). ON 110416 AT APPROXIMATELY 2252 HOURS, I RESPONDED TO THE INTERSECTION OF EAST MARYANN LANE AND NORTH CALUMET TERRACE, IN HERNANDO, IN REFERENCE TO PROVIDING BACK-UP TO K-9 DEPUTY WILLIAMS (0730) WHO WAS CURRENTLY ON A TRAFFIC STOP. UPON ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH K-9 DEPUTY WILLIAMS, WHO ADVISED THAT HE PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER FOR AN EXPIRED LICENSE PLATE AND UPON RUNNING THE DRIVERâS INFORMATION, IT WAS SHOWING THAT HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED ON 111510. THE VEHICLE WAS A GOLD IN COLOR CHEVROLET SPORTS UTILITY VEHICLE BEARING FLORIDA LICENSE PLATE NUMBER UUB1X WITH THE DRIVER, MR AMRIT WILCOXON, LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT AND ASKED WHY HE ONLY HAD A FLORIDA IDENTIFICATION CARD, AND HE STATED, THAT HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED DUE TO NOT PAYING PAST TRAFFIC CITATIONS. THE DEFENDANT FURTHER STATED THAT HE WAS ARRESTED FOR THE SAME CRIME OVER A YEAR AGO. THE DEFENDANT THEN ADVISED THAT HE WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE BECAUSE HE NEEDED TO CHANGE THE OIL HOWEVER, HE DID NOT HAVE ANY TOOLS AND WAS DRIVING TO A FRIENDS RESIDENCE NEARBY. I THEN CHECKED THE DEFENDANTâS DRIVER'S LICENSE THROUGH THE DRIVER AND VEHICLE INFORMATION DATABASE WHICH REVEALED THE DEFENDANTâS DRIVER'S LICENSE TO BE SUSPENDED SINCE 111510, FOR FAILURE TO PAY TRAFFIC FINES. THE DRIVER AND VEHICLE INFORMATION DATABASE FURTHER REVEALED THAT THE DEFENDANTâS DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED MULTIPLE TIMES AND FOR ALSO FAILING TO PAY TRAFFIC FINES. THE DRIVER AND VEHICLE INFORMATION DATABASE ALSO REVEALED THAT THE DEFENDANT HAD THREE PREVIOUS DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED OR REVOKED, WITH TWO GUILTY DISPOSITIONS, ONE ON 062999, AND ANOTHER ON 072715. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED, DOUBLE-LOCKED, BEHIND HIS BACK, PLACED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANTâS BOND WAS SET AT $1,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE VEHICLE THE DEFENDANT WAS DRIVING WAS LEFT AT THE INTERSECTION OFF OF THE ROADWAY PER THE REQUEST OF THE VEHICLE OWNER, MS CAROLYN ENGLAND WHOM WE MADE CONTACT WITH VIA TELEPHONE CALL AT 352-476-1015. THE DEFENDANT WAS ISSUED A WRITTEN WARNING NUMBER 416314B, FOR EXPIRED LICENSE PLATE, BY K-9 DEPUTY WILLIAMS. THE DEFENDANT WAS ALSO ISSUED UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION NUMBER A21EADP FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED OR REVOKED, KNOWINGLY. |
