ON 100416, AT APPROXIMATELY 2341 HOURS, I WAS CONDUCTING STATIONARY TRAFFIC IN THE CENTER MEDIAN OF HIGHWAY 19 NEAR WEST MAYO DRIVE. I WAS ACCOMPANIED BY FLORIDA HIGHWAY PATROL TROOPER ELMORE (1755) WHEN WE BOTH NOTICED A SMALL WHITE SEDAN TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND AT WHAT APPEARED TO BE A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. TROOPER ELMORE WAS ABLE TO CLOCK THIS VEHICLE WITH HIS FRONT RADAR ANTENNA AT 62 MILES PER HOUR AND I WAS ABLE TO CONFIRM THAT THROUGH MY REAR RADAR ANTENNA. THIS WAS A POSTED 45 MILES PER HOUR SPEED ZONE, THEREFORE A TRAFFIC STOP WAS CONDUCTED ON SAID VEHICLE IN THE BEALLâS DEPARTMENT STORE PARKING LOT BEARING FLORIDA PLATE NUMBER EAND50. UPON APPROACHING THE VEHICLE, I IDENTIFIED THE DRIVER/DEFENDANT AS MR PARKER LEMEUR, BY HIS FLORIDA DRIVER'S LICENSE, AND AT THAT TIME HE WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A VEHICLE REGISTRATION. I WAS THEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE FRONT RIGHT PASSENGER AS MR BLAKE IVKOVIC AND THE LEFT REAR PASSENGER AS MS KAROLINE SAVAGE BY HER FLORIDA DRIVER'S LICENSE. I DID ASK THE DRIVER FOR CONSENT TO SEARCH THE VEHICLE TO WHICH HE STATED, NO. AT THAT TIME, I CONTACTED K-9 DEPUTY LABORDA (0735) WHO WAS EN ROUTE WHILE I WAS CONDUCTING THE LICENSE CHECK ON MR LEMEUR. DUE TO THE FACT THAT MR LEMEUR COULD NOT PROVIDE A VEHICLE REGISTRATION, I ASKED HIM WHO THE VEHICLE WAS REGISTERED TO, HE PROVIDED THE NAME OF ADRIAN. UPON RUNNING THE VEHICLE THROUGH TELETYPE, IT WAS FOUND TO BELONG TO A NICHOLAS. ONCE K-9 DEPUTY LABORDA ARRIVED ON SCENE, HE DEPLOYED HIS K-9 PARTNER, GUNNY, AND ADVISED OF A POSITIVE ALERT. AT THAT TIME, ALL OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE WERE ASKED TO STEP OUT, WHERE SEARCHES OF THE VEHICLE AND THEIR PERSONS WERE CONDUCTED. A SEARCH OF THE FRONT DRIVERâS SIDE DOOR POCKET, WHERE THE DEFENDANT HAD BEEN SITTING, REVEALED A SMALL GLASS PIPE WHICH APPEARED TO BE USED TO INGEST MARIJUANA. AT THAT TIME, HE WAS DETAINED AND READ HIS MIRANDA RIGHTS, VIA PRE-PRINTED CARD, TO WHICH HE CHOSE NOT TO SPEAK WITH ME. IT WAS CONFIRMED WITH THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE THAT IT WAS NOT STOLEN AND THEY WOULD LIKE IT SECURED ON SITE. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST AND TRANSPORTED BY TROOPER ELMORE TO CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE DETENTION FACILITY, A UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION WAS ISSUED, CITATION NUMBER A1BTM0P FOR UNLAWFUL SPEED 62 MILES PER HOUR IN A POSTED 45 MILES PER HOUR ZONE WITH A FINE OF $256.00 PAYABLE IN 30 DAYS. HE WAS ALSO ISSUED A UNIFORM TRAFFIC CITATION NUMBER A1BTMNP FOR AN EXPIRED REGISTRATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $113.00, PAYABLE IN 30 DAYS. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN CHARGED WITH ONE COUNT OF POSSESSION OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA WITH A BOND OF $1,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. ALL EVIDENCE WAS SEIZED AND TURNED IN BY K-9 DEPUTY LABORDA. |
