| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: HESSE, BRYAN 0755 (AR12-3791) (12-315589)âââââ DID, KNOWING HIS DRIVERâS LICENSE OR DRIVING PRIVILEGE HAD BEEN CANCELLED, SUSPENDED OR REVOKED, DRIVE A MOTOR VEHICLE UPON THE HIGHWAYS OF THIS STATE WHILE SUCH LICENSE OR PRIVILEGE WAS CANCELLED, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 322.34(2). ON 121012 AT APPROXIMATELY 2240 HOURS, WHILE CONDUCTING TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT ON US HIGHWAY 19 IN THE CITY OF CRYSTAL RIVER, I OBSERVED A VEHICLE TRAVELLING NORTHBOUND IN MY DIRECTION THAT APPEARED TO BE GOING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE SPEED WAS VISUALLY ESTIMATED AT 60 MILES PER HOUR (MPH) IN A POSTED 45 MILES PER HOUR (MPH) SPEED ZONE. I THEN INITIATED MY RADAR AND HEARD A CLEAR AUDIBLE TONE, WHICH WAS FOLLOWED BY A READING OF 63 MILES PER HOUR (MPH). I THEN GOT BEHIND THE VEHICLE AND INITIATED A TRAFFIC STOP AT THE CORNER OF US HIGHWAY 19 AND FORT ISLAND TRAIL IN CRYSTAL RIVER. AFTER OBTAINING THE DRIVERâS LICENSE AND VEHICLE REGISTRATION, HE WAS CHECKED THROUGH FCIC/NCIC. I LEARNED THAT HIS FLORIDA DRIVER'S LICENSE HAD BEEN SUSPENDED INDEFINITELY FOR FAILURE TO PAY TRAFFIC FINES. WHEN ASKED IF MR MERCER KNEW THAT HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE HAD BEEN SUSPENDED, HE ADVISED THAT HE DID NOT KNOW IT WAS SUSPENDED. HOWEVER, HE DID ADMIT TO POSSIBLY MISSING A PAYMENT THAT HAD BEEN ARRANGED THROUGH THE COURT SYSTEM FOR PREVIOUS TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS. I THEN CHECKED THE DRIVERâS HISTORY ON âD.A.V.I.D.â, WHERE IT STATED THAT THE DEFENDANT HAD BEEN GIVEN NOTICE OF THE SUSPENSION ON 110512. I THEN PLACED MR MERCER UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) AND SECURED HIM IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. PRIOR TO LEAVING THE SCENE, THE DEFENDANTâS VEHICLE WAS TURNED OVER TO HIS GIRLFRIEND PER THE DEFENDANTâS REQUEST. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY (CCDF) FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANTâS BOND SET AT $500.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE DEFENDANT WAS ISSUED CRIMINAL UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION (UTC) NUMBER 0187-GQG-5 FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED KNOWINGLY. |
