| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: TITUS, JOSHUA 1243 (AR15-16870) DID DRIVE OR WAS IN ACTUAL PHYSICAL CONTROL OF A VEHICLE AT A TIME WHEN HER BLOOD ALCOHOL LEVEL WAS .08 PER CENT OR ABOVE AND BY REASON OF SUCH OPERATION OF A VEHICLE CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE PROPERTY OF ANOTHER, TO WIT: THE DEFENDANT CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE THAT SHE WAS OPERATING, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 316.193(3)(A)(B)(C)(1). ON 101715, I RESPONDED TO 803 EAST REEHILL STREET, IN LECANTO, IN REFERENCE TO A TRAFFIC CRASH. UPON INVESTIGATION OF THE TRAFFIC CRASH, I OBSERVED A MAROON IN COLOR, GMC UTILITY VEHICLE, BEARING FLORIDA LICENSE PLATE 218LEI, TO BE IN THE WOODS APPROXIMATELY 150 FEET FROM THE ROADWAY. AT THAT TIME, I MADE CONTACT WITH A FEMALE NAMED MS COLLEEN HUDSON AND A FEMALE NAMED MS SANDRA GUSTAFSON. MS GUSTAFSON WAS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND MS HUDSON WAS STANDING IN THE DOORWAY OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. UPON MAKING INITIAL CONTACT, I COULD SMELL THE ODOR OF ALCOHOL COMING FROM BOTH SUBJECTS. I THEN CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC CRASH INVESTIGATION, WHERE I OBSERVED FRESH TIRE TRACKS ON EAST REEHILL STREET TO LEAVE THE ROADWAY ON THE LEFT SIDE AND MAKE CONTACT WITH THE ROADWAY AGAIN, WHERE THE VEHICLE THEN TRAVELED OVER THE ROAD AND INTO THE YARD OF 803 EAST REEHILL STREET. THE VEHICLE THEN TRAVELED OVER THE DRIVEWAY, BETWEEN A TREE AND A VEHICLE, AND APPROXIMATELY 75 MORE FEET WHERE IT CAME TO A STOP, AS THE VEHICLE WAS STUCK. AT THAT TIME, MS HUDSON ADVISED ME THAT SHE WAS DRIVING AND SHE LEFT THE ROADWAY AND OVER CORRECTED WHICH MADE HER LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN I ASKED MS HUDSON WHY SHE LEFT THE ROADWAY, SHE ADVISED ME THAT SOMETHING RAN OUT IN FRONT OF HER VEHICLE. THE ROTATION WRECKER WAS CALLED FOR THE VEHICLE. I THEN ADVISED MS HUDSON THAT I WOULD BE CHANGING HATS; GOING FROM A TRAFFIC CRASH INVESTIGATION TO A DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE INVESTIGATION. I ASKED MS HUDSON IF SHE WOULD SUBMIT TO FIELD SOBRIETY TASKS, AT WHICH TIME SHE REFUSED. AT THAT TIME, MS HUDSON WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE WITH PROPERTY DAMAGE. MS HUDSON WAS HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HER BACK, SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE, AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE DETENTION FACILITY MS HUDSON REFUSED TO PROVIDE A BREATH, URINE, AND BLOOD TEST. MS HUDSON WAS ISSUED DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION, CITATION NUMBER 0363-XEJ 7, FOR REFUSAL TO SUBMIT TO LAWFUL BREATH URINE OR BLOOD TEST (SECOND REFUSAL). MS HUDSONâS BOND WAS SET AT $2,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
