| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: SEFFERN JR, JONATHAN 0623 (AR14-11890) (14-123444) DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HIS ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: ONE SMALL DIME SIZED BAGGIE CONTAINING .3 GRAMS OF METHAMPHETAMINE, ONE SMALL DIME SIZED BAGGIE CONTAINING .3 GRAMS OF METHAMPHETAMINE AND ONE SMALL DIME SIZED BAGGIE CONTAINING .4 GRAMS OF METHAMPHETAMINE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.13(6)(A). DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HIS ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION WITH THE INTENT TO USE, OR DID UNLAWFULLY USE, AN OBJECT INTENDED OR DESIGNED FOR USE IN STORING, CONCEALING OR INJECTING, INGESTING, INHALING OR OTHERWISE INTRODUCING INTO THE HUMAN BODY, A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: A GLASS METHAMPHETAMINE PIPE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTES 893.145 AND 893.147(1)(B). ON 090614, I RESPONDED TO THE CITGO GAS STATION LOCATED AT 7810 SOUTH FLORIDA AVENUE IN FLORAL CITY TO ASSIST DEPUTY SLINGERLAND WITH A TRAFFIC STOP HE CONDUCTED. WHILE ON SCENE ASSISTING DEPUTY SLINGERLAND, I OBSERVED A WHITE MALE, LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT, MR DAVID NEVILLS, WALKING ACROSS THE PARKING LOT TOWARDS THE STORE. I OBSERVED A LARGE BLACK ITEM HANGING OFF OF HIS WAISTLINE BETWEEN HIS RIGHT HIP AND RIGHT BUTTOCKS CHEEK. AT THAT POINT, I WAS APPROXIMATELY 30 FEET FROM THE DEFENDANT AND believed THE ITEM TO POSSIBLY BE A FIREARM. AT THAT TIME, I STOPPED THE DEFENDANT AND ASKED HIM IF HE HAD A FIREARM ON HIS WAIST. HE THEN COVERED THE ITEM WITH HIS T-SHIRT AND BLADED HIS RIGHT SIDE AWAY FROM ME. I BELIEVED THE DEFENDANT TO BE IN POSSESSION OF A FIREARM DUE TO HIS BEHAVIOR AT WHICH TIME I UN- HOLSTERED MY AGENCY ISSUED PISTOL AND MAINTAINED A LOW READY POSITION UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GAIN CONTROL OF the DEFENDANT. I AGAIN ASKED THE DEFENDANT WHAT HE HAD ON HIS WAISTLINE THAT HE HAD JUST CONCEALED AT WHICH TIME HE REACHED BACK, GRABBED AN ITEM AND THREW IT AT ME. I WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY THAT ITEM AS A LARGE BLACK KNIFE CASE. THE DEFENDANT CONTINUED TO STAY BLADED AWAY FROM ME AND CONTINUED TO REACH BEHIND HIM. AT THAT TIME, I GRABBED THE DEFENDANT BY HIS RIGHT ARM PULLING IT AWAY FROM THE LOCATION OF THE POSSIBLE FIREARM AND THEN GAINED CONTROL OF HIS LEFT ARM PLACING HIM IN HANDCUFFS (DOUBLE LOCKED) WHERE HE WAS DETAINED FOR A FURTHER SEARCH. WHILE PATTING THE DEFENDANT DOWN, ON HIS RIGHT WAISTLINE, I OBSERVED A CLEAR GLASS PIPE THAT I WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY AS METHAMPHETAMINE THROUGH MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST WHERE I CONDUCTED A FURTHER SEARCH OF HIS PERSON. NO FIREARM WAS LOCATED ON THE DEFENDANT'S PERSON HOWEVER, I DID LOCATE IN HIS RIGHT FRONT PANTS POCKET A SMALL PLASTIC CONTAINER THAT REVEALED THREE SMALL DIME SIZED BAGGIES THAT CONTAINED A CRYSTALLINE SUBSTANCE THAT I WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY AS METHAMPHETAMINE THROUGH MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE CRYSTALLINE SUBSTANCE RECOVERED FROM THE DEFENDANT WAS LATER FIELD TESTED UTILIZING A PRESUMPTIVE FIELD TEST KIT WHICH YIELDED A POSITIVE RESULT FOR THE PRESENCE OF METHAMPHETAMINE. IT WAS DETERMINED THE GLASS METHAMPHETAMINE PIPE ALSO CONTAINED METHAMPHETAMINE RESIDUE. THE NARCOTICS WERE LATER PACKAGED FOR SUBMISSION INTO EVIDENCE. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY, THE DEFENDANT WAS TURNED OVER TO DETENTION STAFF WHERE HE WAS CHARGED with ONE COUNT OF POSSESSION OF A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE AND ONE COUNT OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA. THE DEFENDANTâS TOTAL BOND WAS SET AT $5,500.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
