| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: WILLIAMS, ROBERT 0714 (AR11121823) DID, KNOWING her DRIVER'S 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). DID UNLAWFULLY RESIST, OBSTRUCT OR OPPOSE SERGEANT (SGT) AMSLER, WHO WAS THEN AND THERE IN THE LAWFUL EXECUTION OF A LEGAL DUTY, OR EXECUTION OF LEGAL PROCESS, TO WIT: CONDUCTING A TRAFFIC STOP, BY PROVIDING FALSE NAMES TO SGT AMSLER, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 843.03. ON 072011 AT APPROXIMATELY 0330 HOURS, I WAS DISPATCHED TO BACK-UP SGT AMSLER ON A TRAFFIC STOP LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF HIGHWAY 491 AND HIGHWAY 41 NORTH IN HERNANDO. UPON ARRIVAL, I MADE CONTACT WITH SGT AMSLER WHO ADVISED ME THAT THE DRIVER (DEFENDANT), LATER IDENTIFIED AS MS LEE ANN RODGERS, HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT AN EXTREMELY HIGH RATE OF SPEED NORTH BOUND ON HIGHWAY 41 NORTH. SGT AMSLER FURTHER STATED UPON CONDUCTING A TRAFFIC STOP, THE DEFENDANT WAS NOT WEARING A SEAT BELT, WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE HIM WITH HER DRIVER'S LICENSE, AND ALSO GAVE SEVERAL DIFFERENT NAMES TO HIM INCLUDING "LE ANN GILLIAN" AND "LEE HEPLER". UPON MAKING CONTACT with the DEFENDANT, SHE ADVISED THAT SHE CURRENTLY HAS A VALID DRIVER'S LICENSE OUT OF GEORGIA. CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE (CCSO) TELETYPE TRIED THE NAME SHE PROVIDED OF LE ANN GILLIAN WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. THE DEFENDANT THEN STATED SHE THINKS HER LICENSE IS VALID IN SOUTH CAROLINA UNDER THE NAME OF LEE ANN HEPLER. UPON RUNNING IT THROUGH CCSO TELETYPE, IT ALSO CAME BACK NEGATIVE. THE DEFENDANT STATED TO ME THAT SHE CANNOT ALWAYS REMEMBER HER SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER BUT BELIEVED IT TO BE 247-65-4526 WHICH ALSO CAME BACK WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS IN PS-NET AND "D.A.V.I.D.". AFTER ADVISING THE DEFENDANT THAT SHE WOULD BE PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR GIVING FALSE INFORMATION TO A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER, SHE PROVIDED THE NAME OF MS LEE ANN RODGERS. AFTER CONDUCTING A "D.A.V.I.D." SEARCH, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE DEFENDANT HAD A SUSPENDED FLORIDA DRIVER'S LICENSE WITH SEVERAL PRIOR SUSPENSIONS. IT SHOULD BE KNOWN THAT NOTICE WAS GIVEN TO THE DEFENDANT BY COURT ORDER. AFTER CONDUCTING A NCIC/FCIC SEARCH ON THE DEFENDANT, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT SHE WAS CLASSIFIED AS A VIOLENT SEXUAL OFFENDER AND CURRENTLY HAS OUTSTANDING WARRANTS FOR VIOLATION OF PROBATION OUT OF GEORGIA AND SOUTH CAROLINA, HOWEVER, THEY WILL NOT EXTRADITE. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN PLACED UNDER ARREST, PLACED IN HANDCUFFS (DOUBLE LOCKED), AND PLACED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. SHE WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY PRECISION TOWING WHERE A VEHICLE STORAGE RECEIPT WAS COMPLETED AND LATER TURNED IN TO RECORDS. ONCE AT THE DETENTION FACILITY, THE DEFENDANT WAS PROVIDED WITH FLORIDA UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION (UTC), NUMBER 3904-GQF-X, FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED (DWLS) WITH MANDATORY COURT APPEARANCE DATE OF 080411 AT 1300 HOURS. THE DEFENDANT WAS ALSO PROVIDED UTC, NUMBER 3906-GQF-1, FOR SEAT BELT VIOLATION, AND UTC, NUMBER 3905-GQF-X, FOR FAILURE TO DISPLAY DRIVER'S LICENSE. THE DEFENDANT WAS CHARGED WITH DWLS AND OBSTRUCTION TO LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER WITH A BOND AMOUNT OF $500.00 FOR EACH CHARGE WITH A TOTAL OF $1,000.00 BOND SET PER THE BOND SCHEDULE.
