ON 040708, AT APPROXIMATELY 0048, HOURS I WAS DISPATCHED TO NORTH CITRUS AVENUE AND NORTH WEST FIFTH STREET IN CRYSTAL RIVER, IN REFERENCE TO A TRAFFIC CRASH. UPON MY ARRIVAL AT 0049 HOURS, I OBSERVED A SILVER LINCOLN TOWN CAR FACING SOUTHEAST IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROADWAY WITH DAMAGE TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHERE IT WAS RESTING AGAINST A WHITE FORD TRUCK THAT WAS PARKED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAS ADVISED BY A WITNESS, THAT THE DRIVER OF THAT VEHICLE, A 1997 SILVER LINCOLN TOWN CAR BEARING FLORIDA TAG D804BV, HAD LEFT THE SCENE ON FOOT. UPON "BOLOING" THE AREA, I WAS ADVISED BY DISPATCH THAT THE DRIVER WAS THEN PICKED UP BY A SPORT UTILITY VEHICLE (SUV) AND WAS HEADED TOWARDS HIGHWAY19. IT WAS AT THAT TIME, DEPUTY BERGEN CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP AT HIGHWAY 19 AND NORTH EAST THIRD AVENUE ON A BLUE EXPLORER. I THEN RESPONDED TO THAT LOCATION AT WHICH TIME, THE DEFENDANT EXITED THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE EXPLORER, APPROACHED ME, AND STATED "THEY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT I WAS SCARED". I THEN ASKED HER WHAT OCCURRED, AT WHICH TIME, SHE ADVISED THAT SHE WRECKED HER VEHICLE AND GOT SCARED. THE DEFENDANT FURTHER STATED, IT WAS AT THAT TIME SHE SAW HER FRIENDS AND ASKED THEM FOR A RIDE. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED BACK TO THE SCENE IN WHICH SHE ADVISED THAT SHE WAS DRIVING THAT VEHICLE, THE LINCOLN TOWN CAR AND THAT IT WAS HER HUSBAND'S. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED THAT SHE GOT EXTREMELY SCARED AND LEFT AFTER SHE HAD THE ACCIDENT. IT WAS AT THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED, (DOUBLE LOCKED) AND SEATED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. UPON SEARCHING THE DEFENDANT'S PURSE, THIS DEPUTY LOCATED A GLASS PIPE WHICH WAS BURNT ON BOTH ENDS ALONG WITH A SMALL PIECE OF BURNT BRILLO PAD COMMONLY USED FOR SMOKING NARCOTICS. IT WAS AT THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING.
