| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: CONLEY, STEPHEN 0290 (11123149) THE DEFENDANT DID DISGUISE HIMSELF WITH THE INTENT TO INTIMIDATE, HINDER OR INTERRUPT ANY LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER IN THE PERFORMANCE OF HIS LEGAL DUTY, TO WIT: THE DEFENDANT GAVE HIS TWIN BROTHER'S NAME AS HIS OWN, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 843.03. ON 101311, I WAS TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON COUNTY ROAD 480, FOLLOWING A GROUP OF MOTORCYCLES. AS THE GROUP OF MOTORCYCLES AND I APPROACHED THE INTERSECTION OF COUNTY ROAD 480 AND SOUTH LECANTO HIGHWAY, THE GROUP OF MOTORCYCLES TURNED NORTH ON SOUTH LECANTO HIGHWAY. AS THE LAST MOTORCYCLE TURNED NORTH, I APPROACHED THE STOP SIGN AND OBSERVED A BLACK FOUR DOOR CHRYSLER VEHICLE TRAVELING NORTHBOUND AT AN EXTReMely HIGH RATE OF SPeED. I ESTiMATED the vehicle's speed to be 80 MILES PER HOUR. THE BLACK CHRYSLER APPROACHED THE MOTORCYCLES AND QUICKLY PASSED THE ENTIRE GROUP IN WHAT WAS CLEARLY A NO PASSING ZONE. THIS AREA OF THE ROADWAY HAS A DOUBLE YELLOW LINE AND A TURN LANE FOR SouthBound TRAFFIC TO TURN EAST ON to county road 480. I THEN TURNED NORTH AND ATTeMPTED TO CATCH UP TO THE BLACK CHRYSLER WHICH STAYED APPROXimately A HALF MILE AHEAD OF ME, TRAVELING AT A VERY HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE BLACK CHRYSLER PASSED MULTIPLE OTHER NORTHBOUND VEHICLEs IN A CARELESS MANNER. I WAS ABLE TO CATCH UP TO THE BLACK CHRYSler IN THE AREA OF SOUTH LECANTO HIGHWAY AND WEST EDUCATIONAL PATH. AT THAT TIME, I CONFIRMED THAT THE BLACK CHRYSLER WAS, IN fACT, THE SAME VEHICLE I HAD OBSERVED COMmItTING THE INFRACTIONS AND CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP AT THE INTERSECTION OF SOUTH LECANTO HiGHWAy and king b street in lecanto. I APPROACHED THE PASsENGER SIDE WINdow AND IDentified MYSeLF As A DETECTIVE WITH THE citrus county sheriff's office. I ADVISED THE DRIVER/DEFENDANT, MR BRADLEY ALAN STREET, OF THE REASON FOR THE TRAFFIC STOP AND ASKED HIM FOR HIS DRIVERS LICENSE, THE VEHICLE REGISTRATION AND PROOF OF INSURANCE. DRIVER/DEFENDANT BRADLEY ALAN STREET STATED HE DID NOT HAVE HIS LICENSE BUT STATED HIS NAME WAS BRYAN ANDREW STREET AND HIS DATE OF BIRTH WAS 051586. I THEN SPOKE WITH THE PASSENGER/DEFENDANT BRYAN ANDREW STREET WHO STATED HE WAS THE DRIVER'S TWIN BROTHER AND THAT I SHOULD NOT MIX THEM UP. PASSENGER/DEFENDANT BRYAN ANDREW STREET TOLD ME HIS NAME WAS BRADLEY STREET. I BECAME SUSPICIOUS THAT POSSIBLY THEY HAD GIVEN ME EACH OTHERS NAMES AND WHEN ASKED, PASSENGER/DEFENDANT BRYAN ANDREW STREET, WHO HAD STATED HIS NAME WAS BRADLEY, SAID HE WAS NOT DRIVING BECAUSE HE THOUGHT HIS LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED. I RETURNED TO MY PATROL VEHICLE AND WAITED FOR BACKUP DEPUTY L CANFIELD TO ARRIVE. WHEN DEPUTY CANFIELD ARRIVED, WE OBSERVED BOTH DEFENDANT'S PICTURES ON THE D.A.V.I.D. SYSTEM AND DETERMINED IT WAS MOST LIKELY THAT THEY WERE BOTH PROVIDING FALSE INFORMATION. A DHSMV CHECK OF DRIVER/DEFENDANT BRADLEY ALAN STREET REVEALED HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED ON 062111 FOR FAIL TO PAY COURT/FINANCIAL OBLIGATION. I THEN REMOVED DRIVER/DEFENDANT BRADLEY ALAN STREET FROM THE VEHICLE AND CONFRONTED HIM ABOUT THE NAME CHANGE. DRIVER/DEFENDANT BRADLEY ALAN STREET ADMITTED HE HAD PROVIDED HIS BROTHER BRYAN'S NAME TO ME BECAUSE HE THOUGHT HIS LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED AND HE WANTED TO GET HOME TO HIS WIFE. DRIVER/DEFENDANT BRADLEY Alan street was arrested, handcuffed (douBle locked) behind his back and secured in the rear seat of MY PATROL VEHICLE. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH PASSENGER/DEFENDANT BRYAN ANDREW STREET AND CONFRONTED HIM ABOUT CHANGING NAMES WITH HIS BROTHER. PASSENGER/DEFENDANT BRYAN ANDREW STREET ADMITTED TO GIVING ME HIS BROTHER BRADLEY'S NAME BECAUSE HE DID NOT WANT HIS BROTHER TO GO TO JAIL. AT THAT TIME, PASSENGER/DEFENDANT BRYAN ANDREW STREET WAS ARRESTED, HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK AND SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF DEPUTY CANFIELD'S PATROL VEHICLE. PRIOR TO LEAVING THE SCENE, ALL PRESTIGE TOWING ARRIVED AND TOWED THE VEHICLE FROM THE SCENE, DRIVER/DEFENDANT BRADLEY ALAN STREET WAS ISSUED FLORIDA UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION 4651-GQF1, FOR PASSING IN A NO PASSING ZONE, WITH A FINE OF $166.00, PAYABLE WITHIN THIRTY DAYS AT THE CITRUS COUNT COURTHOUSE. HE WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY BY THIS DETECTIVE. PASSENGER/DEFENDANT BRYAN ANDREW STREET WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY BY DEPUTY CANFIELD. UPON ARRIVAL, BOTH DEFENDANTS WERE PROCESSED, BOOKED RELEASED ON THEIR OWN RECOGNIZANCE.
