WHILE THERE, CONTACT WAS MADE WITH THE DEFENDANT, MR DANIEL GAINER. WHILE TALKING WITH THE DEFENDANT ABOUT THE FRAUD CASE, HE ADVISED that HE WAS TRAVELLING WITH HIS WIFE IN A VEHICLE THAT WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF THIS DEPUTY. AT THAT TIME, I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER COUNTERFEIT BILLS OR ANYTHING ILLEGAL IN THE VEHICLE, THAT I NEEDED TO BE AWARE OF, TO WHICH HE STATED NO. AT THAT TIME K-9 DEPUTY HYRC ARRIVED ON SCENE. DEPUTY HYRC ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE WOULD MIND IF HE WALKED HIS K-9 AROUND HIS VEHICLE, TO WHICH THE DEFENDANT IMMEDIATELY BECAME VERY DEFENSIVE AND DID NOT WANT US TO LOOK IN HIS VEHICLE. AT THAT TIME DEPUTY HYRC WALKED THE K-9 AROUND THE VEHICLE AND THE K-9 ALERTED ON THE DRIVERâS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. DEPUTY HYRC THEN OPENED THE DRIVERâS DOOR, AND IN THE DRIVERâS SEAT IN PLAIN VIEW THERE WAS A CLEAR ZIPLOC BAG CONTAINING APPROXIMATELY 19 INDIVIDUAL BAGGIES, WHICH CONTAINED COCAINE. I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT, WHO ADVISED THAT THE COCAINE BELONGED TO HIM AND NOT HIS WIFE. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED, (DOUBLE LOCKED), BEHIND HIS BACK, AND SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. DEPUTY HYRC CONTINUED TO SEARCH THE VEHICLE WITH NO FURTHER RESULTS. CONTACT WAS ALSO MADE WITH THE PASSENGER OF THE VEHICLE, MS APRIL GAINER, WHO ADVISED THAT SHE HAD JUST FOUND THE COCAINE AND WAS ARGUING WITH HER HUSBAND ABOUT IT. SHE ALSO ADVISED THAT IT WAS AT THAT TIME, WE ARRIVED ON SCENE. MS GAINER PROVIDED A WRITTEN STATEMENT, WHICH WILL LATER BE TURNED INTO RECORDS. AT THAT TIME THE DEFENDANT WAS ADVISED THAT HE WAS BEING ARRESTED FOR POSSESSION OF COCAINE, WITH INTENT TO SELL AND HE WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE COCAINE WAS WEIGHED AND IT WEIGHED APPROXIMATELY 11.5 GRAMS. ALL THE EVIDENCE WAS TURNED INTO THE EVIDENCE LOCKER. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $10,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
