ON 030617 AT 1459 HOURS, I WAS DISPATCHED TO 6920 NORTH BIRCH TERRACE IN HERNANDO, IN REFERENCE TO BACK-UP FOR K-9 DEPUTY J WILLIAMS (0730). UPON ARRIVAL AT 1514 HOURS, I MADE CONTACT WITH K-9 DEPUTY J WILLIAMS, WHO ADVISED THAT HE WITNESSED THE DEFENDANT, MS JENNIFER REID, DRIVING HER 1998 CHEVROLET BLAZER, WITH EXPIRED FLORIDA LICENSE PLATE GBIK67, AT THE INTERSECTION OF GRAIL WAY AND NORTH BIRCH TERRACE. AT THAT TIME, HE COULD CLEARLY SEE THE DEFENDANT WAS NOT WEARING A SEATBELT. K-9 DEPUTY J WILLIAMS ADVISED HE CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP ON SAID VEHICLE IN THE DRIVEWAY OF 6920 NORTH BIRCH TERRACE. K-9 DEPUTY J WILLIAMS ADVISED THE DEFENDANT DID RETRIEVE, FROM HER LEFT FRONT POCKET, A SMALL BAGGIE THAT CONTAINED A GREEN LEAFY SUBSTANCE. THE SUBSTANCE WAS LATER TESTED IN MY PRESENCE WITH AN AGENCY ISSUED FIELD TEST KIT AND DID TEST POSITIVE FOR THE PRESENCE OF CANNABIS. SAID SUBSTANCE WAS ALSO WEIGHED IN MY PRESENCE AND WEIGHED APPROXIMATELY 1 GRAM. WHILE I STOOD BY WITH THE DEFENDANT, K-9 DEPUTY J WILLIAMS CONDUCTED A SEARCH OF THE DEFENDANTâS VEHICLE, IN WHICH SHE GAVE CONSENT. K-9 DEPUTY J WILLIAMS LOCATED A GLASS SMOKING PIPE, COMMONLY USED TO SMOKE METHAMPHETAMINE, INSIDE OF A GREEN, PINK AND WHITE WALLET THAT WAS LOCATED ON THE DRIVER SEAT. I OBSERVED SAID GLASS SMOKING PIPE THAT DID HAVE A WHITE RESIDUE INSIDE OF IT. SAID PIPE WAS TESTED BY K-9 DEPUTY J WILLIAMS IN MY PRESENCE WITH AN AGENCY ISSUED FIELD TEST KIT AND DID TEST POSITIVE FOR THE PRESENCE OF METHAMPHETAMINE. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT, AT WHICH TIME I READ HER HER MIRANDA RIGHTS FROM A PREPRINTED AGENCY ISSUED CARD, AT WHICH TIME SHE ADVISED SHE WOULD SPEAK WITH ME. THE DEFENDANT WAS QUESTIONED IN REFERENCE TO THE GLASS SMOKING PIPE AND CANNABIS, AT WHICH TIME SHE ADVISED THAT IT BELONGED TO HER. I ADVISED THE DEFENDANT SHE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR POSSESSION OF CANNABIS UNDER 20 GRAMS AND POSSESSION OF PARAPHERNALIA. AT THE REQUEST OF THE DEFENDANT, HER VEHICLE WAS LEFT ON SCENE. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HER BACK AND SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. SHE WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANTâS BOND WAS SET AT $1,000.00 FOR POSSESSION OF CANNABIS LESS THAN 20 GRAMS AND $1,000.00 FOR POSSESS OF PARAPHERNALIA, FOR A TOTAL BOND OF $2,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
