| Probable cause affidavit: | submitted by: WEST, ROY 0421 (AR08103700) DID WILLFULLY REFUSE TO SIGN A UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 318.14(3); ON 061208 AT APPROXIMATELY 2038 HOURS, WHILE RUNNING DIRECTED TRAFFIC PATROL OF RADAR ON US highway 19, IN THE CITY OF CRystal river, I OBSERVED the defendant's VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME traveling NORTHBOUND IN the INSIDE LANE. THE VeHICLE WAS BY ITSELF with VEHICLES BEHIND IT A CONSIDERABLE DISTANCE. I OBSERVED the VEHICLE WHICH APPEARED TO BE ESCALATING in speed AND PULLING AWAY FROM THE OTHER TRAFFIC. I CONFIRMED THAT MY SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 37 MILES PER HOUR (mph). I WAS TRAVELINg SOUTH BOUNd IN THE INSIDE LANE, when I ACTIVATED MY RADAR WHICH INDICATED THAT THE DRIVER WAS doing 52 MPH. I DID RECEIVE A SOLID audio doppler TONE HOwEVER, I DID WAIT UNTIL THE FIRST VEHICLE CLEAReD MY RADAR TO CONFIRM THAT the defendant's VeHICLE was the one I HAD LOCKED ON the RADAR. AFTER TRAFFIC PERMITTED I MADE A U-TURN and CAUGHT UP TO THE defendant's VEHICLE WHO REMAINED IN MY VISUAL SIGHT. I ACTIVATED MY OVERHEAD LIGHTS AND CONDUCTED A traffic stop ON THE VEHICLE. UPON MAKING CONTaCT WITH THE DRIVER/defendant, MR JUSTIN WILBUR, HE STATED THAT HE COULD NOT FIND his DRIVER'S LICENSE OR VEHICLE REGISTRATION AND STATED IT WAS his MOTHER'S VEHICLE. AFTER OBTAINING THE DEFENDANT'S INFORMATION I RESPONDED BACK TO MY PATROL VEHICLE AND CONFIRMED the DEFENDANT'S IDENTIFICATION AND CITED the DRIVER/DEFENDANT FOR SPEEDING. I ISSUED the DEFENDANT TWO WARNINGS FOR NOT CARRYING A DRIVER'S LICENSE OR VEHICLE REGISTRATION. UPON MAKING CONTACT AGAIN with THE DRIVER/DEFENDANT I EXPLAINED EVERYTHING TO HIM AT WHICH TIME HE REFUSED TO SIGN THE CITATION. I ADVISED HIM that BY SIGNING THE CITATION IT WAS NOT AN ADMISSION OF GUILT HOWEVER, IT DID INDICATE HE WAS RECEIVING THE CITATION. AGAIN THE DEFENDANT REFUSED, STATING THAT HE WOULD NOT SIGN. I THEN ADVISED THE DEFENDANT THAT BY REFUSING TO SIGN I would HAVE TO ARREST HIM. THE DEFENDANT AGAIN STATED HE WAS REFUSING TO SIGN THE CITATION AND CONTINUED WANTING TO ARGUE HIS CASE. THE DEFENDANT WHO WAS VERY AGITATED AND ANIMATED WAS EXPLAINING HOW HE WAS going TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND BEGAN UNBUCKLING FROM THE VEHICLE. I THEN BACKED UP AND ADVISED the defendant THAT IF HE WAS GOING TO GET OUT OF VEHICLE HE NEEDED TO STEP OVER BEHIND HIS VEHICLE AND OUT OF THE TRAFFIC. I AGAIN ADVISED THE DEFENDANT THAT IF HE REFUSED TO SIGN I WOULD have TO ARREST HIM, AT WHICH TIME THE ANIMATED DEFENDANT CONTINUED TO RESIST MY ATTEMPTS TO SIGN THE CITATION. I ADVISED the DEFENDANT TO TURN AROUND AND FACE his VEHICLE THAT I WAS PLACING HIM UNDER ARREST. HE WAS THEN HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE-LOCKED), SEARCHED and THEN SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. I THEN NOTIFIED THE VEHICLE'S OWNER OF THE LOCATION OF THE VEHICLE PER THE DEFENDANT'S REQUEST. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE citrus county detention facility FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $150.00, PER the BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
