| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: LAUGHLIN, JEREMY 0617 (15-5216) (AR15-13482) DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HIS/HER ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: 9.27 GRAMS OF METHAMPHETAMINE, 24 8 MG HYDROMORPHONE SCHEDULE II PAIN PILLS, ONE 10 MG METHADONE, FOUR 1 MG VALIUM, AND 78 20 MG OXYCODONE/HYDROCHLORIDE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.13(6)(A). WHILE TRAVELING NORTHBOUND ON HIGHWAY 41, I OBSERVED A BLACK FORD RANGER CHANGE LANES FROM THE SLOW LANE TO THE FAST LANE AND THEN TRAVEL INTO THE TURNING LANE AT HIGHLANDS AND HIGHWAY 41. THE VEHICLE DID NOT USE A TURN SIGNAL DURING ANY OF THESE LANE CHANGES. AS THE VEHICLE TURNED ONTO HIGHLANDS FROM HIGHWAY 41, THE PASSENGER DOOR WAS OPENED WHILE IN MOTION. I CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP ON THE VEHICLE WITH FLORIDA LICENSE PLATE NUMBER BGKF92. THE VEHICLE TURNED INTO the BACK ENTRANCE TO MCDONALDS. UPON THE VEHICLE STOPPING, THIS DETECTIVE MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER AND INFORMED HIM OF THE TRAFFIC INFRACTIONS. DURING THIS TIME THIS DETECTIVE OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGERâS SEAT, NOT WEARING A SEAT BELT, AND THE CO-DEFENDANT SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF the BENCH SEAT, ALSO NOT WEARING A SEATBELT. THIS DETECTIVE REQUESTED THE DRIVER'S LICENSE FOR ALL THREE SUBJECTS AND RETURNED TO MY PATROL VEHICLE. K-9 DEPUTY LABORDA ARRIVED ON SCENE AND K-9 GUNNY WAS DEPLOYED. I WAS ADVISED OF A POSITIVE ALERT ON THE PASSENGERâS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS DETECTIVE THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT, MR CHARLES MARSHALL II, AND HAD HIM EXIT THE VEHICLE. WHILE SPEAKING WITH MR MARSHALL I ASKED IF HE HAD ANY WEAPONS, DRUGS, OR OTHER CONTRABAND ON HIS PERSON, TO WHICH HE ADVISED HE HAD METHAMPHETAMINE IN HIS FRONT RIGHT PANTS POCKET. MR MARSHALL WAS THEN SECURED IN HANDCUFFS, BEHIND HIS BACK, DOUBLE LOCKED. THIS DETECTIVE REMOVED A PLASTIC BAGGIE FROM HIS FRONT RIGHT POCKET CONTAINING A CRYSTAL LIKE SUBSTANCE, WHICH DUE TO MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE, I KNEW TO BE METHAMPHETAMINE. THIS DETECTIVE ALSO LOCATED THREE PILL BOTTLES LOCATED IN THE FRONT LEFT POCKET OF the DEFENDANTâS PANTS. THESE PILL BOTTLES CONTAINED VARIOUS SHAPES AND COLORS OF PILLS WHICH THE DEFENDANT ADVISED HE DID NOT HAVE A PRESCRIPTION FOR. AFTER THE CO-DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR POSSESSION OF METHAMPHETAMINE, K-9 DEPUTY LABORDA HAD LOCATED ANOTHER SMALL BAGGIE IN THE FRONT COMPARTMENT OF the VEHICLE, WHICH CONTAINED .4 GRAMS OF METHAMPHETAMINE. MR MARSHALL ADVISED THIS BAGGIE BELONGED TO HIM AS WELL. THE DEFENDANT WAS TRANSPORTED TO the CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE METHAMPHETAMINE WAS WEIGHED BY K-9 DEPUTY LABORDA WITH A TOTAL WEIGHT OF 9.23 GRAMS FOR the LARGE BAG CONTAINED IN MR MARSHALLâS FRONT LEFT PANTS POCKET. THE SMALL BAGGIE FOUND IN THE VEHICLE CONTAINED .4 GRAMS OF METHAMPHETAMINE. POISON CONTROL WAS CONTACTED IN REFERENCE TO THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE PILLS. POISON CONTROL ADVISED THAT THE PILLS WERE: 24 8 MG HYDROMORPHONE SCHEDULE II PAIN PILLS, ONE 10 MG METHADONE SCHEDULE II, AND FOUR 1 MG VALIUM SCHEDULE IV. ALSO LOCATED ON THE DEFENDANT WERE 78 PILLS WITH THE IMPRESSION OF â20R/Pâ, THESE PILLS WERE IDENTIFIED BY PILL IDENTIFIER.COM. AS OXYCODONE/HYDROCHLORIDE ALL CONTRABAND WAS COLLECTED AND WILL BE TURNED IN TO EVIDENCE. THE DEFENDANT WAS CHARGED WITH A TOTAL OF FOUR COUNTS OF POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE WITH A TOTAL BOND AMOUNT OF $8,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
