DEPUTY SEFFERN THEN ADVISED ME THAT HE HAD PROBABLE CAUSE ON SAID VEHICLE FOR RUNNING THE STOP SIGN AT THAT INTERSECTION. I THEN OBSERVED THE VEHICLE TURNING ON TO HIGHLAND BOULEVARD FROM SEMINOLE AVENUE WHERE I THEN GOT BEHIND THE VEHICLE AND FOLLOWED IT TOWARDS LINE STREET FROM HIGHLAND BOULEVARD. AT THAT TIME I CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP. UPON WALKING UP TO THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER/DEFENDANT, MR MICHAEL RUCKER, ALONG WITH FRONT SEAT PASSENGER, MR RICHARD SNIPES AND REAR SEAT PASSENGER, MS NICHOLE SMITH. I THEN REQUESTED A CANINE RESPOND TO MY LOCATION WHILE I RAN ALL THREE SUBJECTS FOR WANTS AND WARRANTS AND THE DEFENDANT FOR A DRIVER'S LICENSE STATUS. CANINE DEPUTY PHILLIPS ARRIVED ON SCENE AND CONDUCTED AN EXTERIOR SNIFF OF THE VEHICLE WITH HIS CANINE AND ADVISED ME HIS CANINE HAD ALERTED TO THE PRESENCE OF NARCOTICS. THE OCCUPANTS WERE THEN REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE. WHILE DEPUTY SEFFERN WAS PATTING DOWN THE DEFENDANT, A SYRINGE CAP FELL FROM THE DEFENDANT'S PANTS ON TO THE GROUND, HOWEVER, THE SYRINGE WAS NOT FOUND AT THAT TIME. WHILE SEARCHING THE VEHICLE AN OPEN SYRINGE WAS FOUND IN THE CENTER CONSOLE OF THE VEHICLE. THE SYRINGE WAS SWABBED AND DID TEST POSITIVE FOR METHAMPHETAMINE. AT THAT TIME THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK AND PLACED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE FOR TRANSPORT TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANTâS BOND WAS SET AT $500.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE SYRINGE WAS PACKAGED AND TURNED IN TO CITRUS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE EVIDENCE LOCKER. DUE TO THE FACT THAT OF THE OTHER OCCUPANTS HAD VALID DRIVER'S LICENSE AND THE VEHICLE WAS BLOCKING THE ROADWAY, THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY TONY'S BODY SHOP. |
