ON 031908, AT 0119 HOURS, I RESPONDED TO THE AREA OF CYPRESS BOULEVARD AND SUNCOAST HIGHWAY IN REFERENCE TO A TRAFFIC STOP CONDUCTED BY DEPUTY TACKETT 0383. I MADE CONTACT WITH DEPUTY TACKETT, WHO STATED HE STOPPED THE DEFENDANT WHILE DRIVING DOWN SUNCOAST HIGHWAY DUE TO ALL REAR LIGHTING ON THE VEHICLE BEING OUT. DEPUTY TACKETT ADVISED THAT UPON APPROACHING THE DEFENDANT AND NOTIFYING HIM OF HIS DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT, HE THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT WOULD THERE BE ANY REASON TO SEARCH THE VEHICLE FOR ANY ILLEGAL CONTRABAND TO WHICH THE DEFENDANT STATED "NO". DEPUTY TACKETT THEN WALKED THE K-9 AROUND THE VEHICLE WHICH THEN ALERTED TO THE PRESENCE OF NARCOTICS. DEPUTY TACKETT THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT TO STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE SO THAT HE COULD CONDUCT A SEARCH FOR ILLEGAL CONTRABAND. DEPUTY TACKETT THEN ADVISED THAT WHILE CONDUCTING A SEARCH INSIDE THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED A DORAL CIGARETTE BOX IN THE CENTER CONSOLE OF THE VEHICLE CONTAINING A PLASTIC BAGGIE WHICH HAD LESS THAN A HALF OF A GRAM OF CRACK COCAINE INSIDE. DEPUTY TACKETT FURTHER ADVISED THAT HE NOTICED ALONG WITH THE DORAL CIGARETTE PACK A BRASS PIPE ATTACHED TO A BRILLO PAD AT THE END CONTAINING CRACK COCAINE RESIDUE. DEPUTY TACKETT THEN ADVISED THAT BASED UPON HIS TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE, HE READILY IDENTIFIED THE PARAPHERNALIA TO BE USED FOR CRACK COCAINE, AS WELL AS THE COCAINE INSIDE THE PLASTIC BAGGIE. HOWEVER, HE ASKED THE DEFENDANT WHAT THESE ARTICLES WERE TO WHICH THE DEFENDANT RESPONDED " CRACK COCAINE". DEPUTY TACKETT THEN PLACED THE DEFENDANT IN HANDCUFFS (DOUBLE LOCKED), BEHIND HIS BACK, AND PLACED HIM IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. I THEN TRANSPORTED THE DEFENDANT TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. (SEE DEPUTY TACKETT'S SUPPLEMENT FOR FURTHER INFORMATION) *NOT-EXEMPT* |
