ON 012013 AT APPROXIMATELY 0050 HOURS, I WAS SITTING ON WEST GROVER CLEVELAND IN HOMOSASSA, CONDUCTING STATIONARY RADAR WHEN I NOTICED A DARK COLORED SUV PASS BY ME IN AN EASTERLY DIRECTION. AS THE VEHICLE WENT BY, I NOTICED THAT IT HAD AN INOPERABLE LICENSE PLATE LIGHT AND AS I WATCHED THE VEHICLE IT MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN AND HEADED SOUTHBOUND ON SOUTH SPRING SONG TERRACE. I INITIATED A TRAFFIC STOP ON THE VEHICLE AT SOUTH SPRING SONG TERRACE AND WEST HOLIDAY STREET. I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER/WITNESS, MR JAMES HEAD AND HE PROVIDED ME WITH HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE. I ALSO REQUESTED IDENTIFICATION FROM THE OTHER TWO OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE, WITNESS, MR ROBERT WEATHERLY III, AND DEFENDANT, MS LAURA PADFIELD. I THEN RAN THE THREE PERSONS ON TELETYPE FOR WANTS AND WARRANTS AND DRIVER'S LICENSE STATUS ON MR HEAD. I ALSO REQUESTED ANOTHER UNIT TO RESPOND TO MY LOCATION. WHILE DOING SO, I ASKED MR HEAD IF HE WOULD MIND IF I SEARCHED HIS VEHICLE AND HE STATED, NO PROBLEM. I ALSO ASKED EACH OF THE OTHER OCCUPANTS IF THEY HAD ANY ISSUE WITH ME SEARCHING THE VEHICLE AND THEY EACH STATED, NO PROBLEM. DEPUTY TAYLOR ARRIVED ON SCENE EACH OCCUPANT STEPPED OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND WERE PATTED DOWN FOR WEAPONS, WHICH YIELDED NEGATIVE RESULTS. ON THE BACK SEAT WHERE THE DEFENDANT WAS SITTING WAS A BLACK PURSE. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF THAT WAS HER PURSE AND IF I COULD LOOK THROUGH IT AND SHE STATED THAT IT WAS HERS AND I COULD. INSIDE OF THE PURSE WAS A METAL MOSSY OAK CONTAINER AND INSIDE OF THAT WAS A PACK OF JOB ROLLING PAPERS, ALONG WITH A BURNT CANNABIS CIGARETTE COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS A ROACH AND ALSO A SMALL AMOUNT OF MARIJUANA SHAKE. THERE WAS NO OTHER CONTRABAND INSIDE OF THE DEFENDANTâS PURSE. I THEN RETRIEVED A PINK BAG THAT WAS ALSO SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT WHERE THE DEFENDANT WAS SITTING. I ASKED IF THAT BAG ALSO BELONGED TO THE DEFENDANT AND SHE STATED THAT IT DID, AND I ASKED IF I COULD LOOK THROUGH THE BAG AND SHE STATED THAT I COULD. INSIDE OF THAT BAG WAS WOMENâS CLOTHING AND ALSO A BLACK LEATHER POUCH CONTAINING A DIGITAL SCALE WITH WHITE RESIDUE ON TOP. I THEN COMPLETED AN INTERIOR SEARCH OF THE VEHICLE WHICH YIELDED NO OTHER CONTRABAND. I THEN TESTED THE WHITE RESIDUE ON TOP OF THE DIGITAL SCALE IN A FIELD TEST KIT, WHICH YIELDED A POSITIVE REACTION FOR METHAMPHETAMINE. I ALSO COMPLETED A FIELD TEST KIT ON THE GREEN LEAFY SUBSTANCE INSIDE OF THE MOSSY OAK CONTAINER, WHICH YIELDED A POSITIVE REACTION FOR CANNABIS. AT THAT TIME, I THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST, FOR POSSESSION OF PARAPHERNALIA. DEPUTY TAYLOR THEN ATTEMPTED TO HANDCUFF HER AND SHE PULLED AWAY FROM HIM, CAUSING HIM TO TAKE CONTROL OF HER BY PUSHING HER ON TO THE HOOD OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HER BACK. MR HEAD WAS RELEASED ON SCENE AFTER BEING ISSUED A WRITTEN WARNING NUMBER 358563B FOR AN INOPERABLE LICENSE PLATE LIGHT. I THEN SPOKE WITH THE DEFENDANT ONCE AGAIN AND INFORMED HER THAT IF SHE HAD ANYTHING ELSE ON HER, IT WOULD BE A FELONY IF SHE TOOK IT IN TO THE JAIL. SHE ADVISED THAT SHE HAD NOTHING ELSE ON HER. SHE WAS THEN TRANSPORTED BY DEPUTY TAYLOR TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. ONCE AT THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY, DEPUTY TAYLOR ONCE AGAIN ADVISED THE DEFENDANT THAT IF SHE HAD ANYTHING ON HER THAT WAS ILLEGAL IT WOULD BE A FELONY IF SHE TOOK IT IN TO THE JAIL. JUST PRIOR TO WALKING IN TO THE JAIL SHE INFORMED DEPUTY TAYLOR THAT SHE HAD SOMETHING ELSE ON HER AND HE ASKED WHERE AND SHE RESPONDED âWHERE DO YOU THINKâ. SHE WAS THEN TURNED OVER TO DETENTION STAFF. WHILE BEGINNING MY PAPERWORK, THE MEMBER OF THE DETENTION STAFF BROUGHT ME A BLACK ZIPPERED POUCH THAT SHE HAD FOUND ON THE DEFENDANT, STUFFED SOME WHERE IN HER PANTS. INSIDE OF THAT POUCH WERE TWO LARGER BAGS CONTAINING A CRYSTAL LIKE SUBSTANCE THAT THROUGH MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE I RECOGNIZED TO BE POSSIBLE METHAMPHETAMINE. BOTH BAGGIES WERE WEIGHED AT A COMBINED WEIGHT OF 4.9 GRAMS. THE BAGGIES WERE FIELD TESTED IN SEPARATE TEST KITS AND YIELDED A POSITIVE REACTION FOR METHAMPHETAMINE. ALSO INSIDE OF THE BLACK POUCH WERE TWO SMALL PLASTIC BAGGIES WHICH ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE SALE OF NARCOTICS. AT THAT TIME, I INFORMED THE DEFENDANT THAT DUE TO THE FACT SHE HAD THE DIGITAL SCALE WITH THE METHAMPHETAMINE RESIDUE, THE METHAMPHETAMINE AND THE SMALL PLASTIC BAGGIES ON HER THAT SHE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR POSSESSION WITH INTENT TO SELL, POSSESSION OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA AND ALSO RESISTING WITHOUT VIOLENCE. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $ 11,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. |
