| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: BONURA, MATTHEW 0334 (AR08105692) DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HER ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: CRACK COCAINE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.13(6)(A). ON 101108 AT APPROXIMATELY MIDNIGHT, MYSELF, DEPUTY B LAMBERT, DEPUTY L CANFIELD WERE WALKING IN THE AREA OF COPELAND PARK. WHILE WALKING IN THE AREA OF NE 1ST STREET, WE HAD COME UPON A WHITE FOUR DOOR PONTIAC STOPPED IN THE ROADWAY. AT THAT TIME, I HAD APPROACHED THE VEHICLE AND HAD ASKED THE DRIVER IF SHE HAD A DRIVER'S LICENSE IN HER POSSESSION. SHE STATED THAT SHE DID AND AT THAT TIME, SHE PROVIDED IT TO MYSELF IDENTIFYING HER AS MS NECOL RICHBURGH. WHILE SPEAKING WITH THE DRIVER, I SMELLED A STRONG ODOR OF ALCOHOL COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. SITTING BEHIND THE DRIVER IN THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS A SUBJECT I HAVE KNOWN FOR A LONG TIME IDENTIFIED AS MR TRAVIS CLEVELAND. I OBSERVED TRAVIS TO HAVE AN OPEN CUP OF ALCOHOL. I ASKED TRAVIS WHAT HE WAS DRINKING AND HE ADVISED HENISEE. TRAVIS DID APPEAR TO BE INTOXICATED. AT THAT TIME, I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER AND WHILE SPEAKING TO HER, I LOOKED OVER TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND OBSERVED IN PLAIN VIEW SITTING RIGHT NEXT TO THE DEFENDANT'S LEFT LEG, A CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE WHICH APPEARED TO CONTAIN CRACK COCAINE. BASED ON MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE, I DETERMINED THAT THIS IS WHAT I WAS LOOKING AT. AT THAT TIME, I ASKED BOTH THE DRIVER AND THE PASSENGER TO HAND ME THE BAGGIE. AT THIS TIME, BOTH THE PASSENGER AND THE DRIVER STUMBLED AROUND THE BAGGIE AS IF THEY DID NOT SEE IT. AT THAT TIME, I INSTRUCTED DEPUTY CANFIELD TO REMOVE THE PASSENGER FROM THE VEHICLE AND PLACE HER IN HANDCUFFS AND TO RETRIEVE THE BAGGIE. DEPUTY CANFIELD DID SO AND ADVISED THAT THE SUBSTANCE DID APPEAR TO BE CRACK. AT THAT TIME, I INSTRUCTED THE DRIVER TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND EXIT THE VEHICLE. I THEN ASKED MR TRAVIS CLEVELAND TO EXIT THE VEHICLE AS WELL BASED ON THE FACT THAT THERE WERE POSSIBLY MORE DRUGS IN THE VEHICLE AND I WAS ALSO GOING TO ISSUE MR TRAVIS CLEVELAND A UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION (UTC) FOR HAVING AN OPEN CONTAINER IN THE VEHICLE. AT THAT TIME, I INSTRUCTED TRAVIS TO WALK TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND TO STOP. I THEN OBSERVED TRAVIS STUFF SOMETHING INTO HIS LEFT FRONT POCKET AND TAKE OFF RUNNING. AT THAT TIME, DEPUTY LAMBERT GAVE CHASE AFTER MR TRAVIS CLEVELAND BUT MET WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. A SEARCH OF THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETED WHICH REVEALED NO OTHER DRUGS. I THEN FIELD TESTED THE SUBSTANCE WHICH CONFIRMED IT TO BE CRACK COCAINE. AT THAT TIME, DEPUTY FARMER ARRIVED ON SCENE AND ISSUED THE DRIVER A WRITTEN WARNING FOR PARKING IN THE ROADWAY. AT THAT TIME, I WENT OVER TO THE DEFENDANT AND READ HER MIRANDA WARNINGS TO HER AND ASKED HER IF SHE UNDERSTOOD HER RIGHTS. SHE STATED SHE DID. I ASKED HER IF THE CRACK THAT WAS LOCATED RIGHT BESIDE HER LEFT LEG WAS HERS TO WHICH SHE STATED IT WAS NOT. AT THAT TIME, I INFORMED HER THAT SHE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR POSSESSION OF CRACK COCAINE AND TRANSPORTED HER TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE DETENTION FACILITY, I HAD WEIGHED THE CRACK WHICH REVEALED IT TO BE A LITTLE OVER ONE GRAM. THE DEFENDANT WAS CHARGED and WAS GIVEN A BOND OF $2,000 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. CITATIONS FOR MR TRAVIS CLEVELAND WILL BE COMPLETED AND TURNED IN WHERE I WILL SEEK A WARRANT FOR HIS ARREST. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
