| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: WARD, JOHN 0603 (AR08106956) DID UNLAWFULLY AND KNOWINGLY ATTACH A TAG NOT ASSIGNED TO SAID VEHICLE, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 320.261. ON 123108, AT APPROXIMATELY 0746, I WAS DISPATCHED TO EAST TRAILS END ROAD IN REFERENCE TO A COW IN THE ROADWAY. WHILE BOLOING FOR THE ANIMAL ON EAST TRAILS END ROAD, I OBSERVED A BLUE FORD TAURUS SPEEDING. UPON TURNING MY PATROL VEHICLE AROUND, I CAUGHT UP TO THE VEHICLE AND INITIATED A TRAFFIC STOP, AT WHICH TIME, I RECOGNIZED THE DRIVER AND VEHICLE FROM A PREVIOUS STOP FOR AN EXPIRED REGISTRATION WHERE HE WAS ISSUED A UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION AND HE WAS ADVISED BY THIS DEPUTY NOT TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE UNTIL THE REGISTRATION WAS CURRENT. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT FOR HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE, REGISTRATION, AND PROOF OF INSURANCE, TO WHICH THE DEFENDANT HANDED ME ALL THE DOCUMENTATION. AT THIS TIME, I OBSERVED A LICENSE PLATE ON THE FRONT SEAT OF HIS VEHICLE. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE HAD GOTTEN A NEW TAG FOR THE VEHICLE, AND HE STATED YES. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT WHERE HE HAD GOTTEN THE TAG THAT WAS ATTACHED TO HIS VEHICLE, TO WHICH HE STATED "THE DMV." I THEN LOOKED AT THE REGISTRATION AND THE TAG THAT WAS ON THE VEHICLE, AND THEY WERE DIFFERENT. I THEN HAD THE DEFENDANT STEP OUT OF HIS VEHICLE, AT WHICH TIME; THE DEFENDANT CONFESSED TO ME THAT HE HAD BORROWED THE TAG FROM A NEIGHBOR. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED BEHIND HIS BACK (DOUBLE LOCKED) AND PLACED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. DEFENDANT WAS ISSUED FLORIDA UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION 7819-FYK FOR ATTACHING TAG NOT ASSIGNED AND GIVEN A COURT DATE OF 011509, AT 1300 HOURS. DEFENDANT WAS ALSO ISSUED A WARNING FOR FAILURE TO USE DUE CARE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED BY TONY'S COLLISION CENTER. DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR PROCESSING. BOND SET AT $250.00. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
