| Probable cause affidavit: |
\tSUBMITTED BY: AMATO, ANTHONY 1393 (AR16-18351) \tDID, KNOWING HER DRIVER'S LICENSE OR DRIVING PRIVILEGE HAD BEEN CANCELLED, SUSPENDED OR REVOKED AS A HABITUAL TRAFFIC OFFENDER, DRIVE A MOTOR VEHICLE UPON THE HIGHWAYS OF THIS STATE WHILE SUCH LICENSE OR PRIVILEGE WAS CANCELLED, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATUTE 322.34(5). \t \tON 022116 AT APPROXIMATELY 1845 HOURS, I WAS TRAVELING NORTHBOUND ON HIGHWAY 19 AND OBSERVED A SILVER IN COLOR SEDAN IN THE SOUTHBOUND LANE HEADING MY DIRECTION. I OBSERVED THAT THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT WAS OUT. AT THAT TIME, I TURNED AROUND, TRAVELED ONTO THE SOUTHBOUND LANE AND RELOCATED BEHIND THE VEHICLE. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE TAILLIGHT WAS BROKEN AND EMITTING A VERY WHITE LIGHT. \t \tAT THAT TIME, I ACTIVATED MY OVERHEAD LIGHTS AND CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP ON THE VEHICLE BEARING FLORIDA LICENSE PLATE NUMBER 659NAX. THE VEHICLE THEN PULLED OVER TO THE RIGHT SIDE LANE IN TO THE GRASS, WHERE THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT HIGHWAY 19 AND CARDINAL LANE. \t \tI APPROACHED THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, WHERE I OBSERVED A WHITE FEMALE WHO IDENTIFIED HERSELF TO ME AS MS CATHY HUMERICKHOUSE, LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT. I ASKED FOR HER DRIVER'S LICENSE, REGISTRATION AND PROOF OF INSURANCE, AT WHICH TIME SHE HANDED THEM TO ME. I CONFIRMED HER IDENTITY THROUGH TELETYPE, AT WHICH TIME TELETYPE ADVISED THAT HER DRIVER'S LICENSE HAD BEEN REVOKED SINCE 011116, AND SHE WAS A HABITUAL TRAFFIC OFFENDER. I APPROACHED THE VEHICLE AND ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF SHE KNEW HER DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS REVOKED AND SHE ADVISED THAT SHE DID NOT KNOW THAT. \t \tI ASKED THE DEFENDANT TO STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE, WHERE I PLACED HER IN HANDCUFFS (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HER BACK. BEFORE PLACING HER IN THE BACK OF MY VEHICLE, SHE WAS SEARCHED BY DEPUTY ANSTEAD (0459). THE DEFENDANT WAS CHARGED WITH DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED AS A HABITUAL OFFENDER UNDER FLORIDA'S STATE STATUTE 322.34(5). \t \tTHE DEFENDANT WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR PROCESSING. HER BOND WAS SET AT $2,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. \t \tTHE DEFENDANT WAS ISSUED FLORIDA CRIMINAL UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION NUMBER A1P2X5P, FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED (HABITUAL OFFENDER), WITH A MANDATORY COURT DATE OF 031016 AT 1300 HOURS, AT THE CITRUS COUNTY COURTHOUSE. \t \tTHE DEFENDANT'S 2009 PONTIAC SEDAN, SILVER IN COLOR, WAS LEFT AT THE SCENE AND LATER PICKED UP BY HER BOYFRIEND PAUL, AS SHE REQUESTED. |
