| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: CALLAHAN, CRAIG C8858 (AR07005283) ON 092507 AT APPROXIMATELY 2249 HOURS I WAS SITTING STATIONARY ON NORTHEAST CRYSTAL STREET AT THE INTERSECTION OF NORTHEAST EIGHTH AVENUE. WHILE SITTING STATIONARY, I OBSERVED A GREY IN COLOR FORD BRONCO APPROACHING ME WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT OUT. UPON THE FORD BRONCO PASSING ME, I TURNED MY VEHICLE AROUND AND ATTEMPTED TO CONDUCT A TRAFFIC STOP ON THE VEHICLE. UPON ACTIVATING MY EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT AT THE INTERSECTION OF NORTHEAST EIGHTH AVENUE AND CRYSTAL STREET, I FOLLOWED THE VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY THREE BLOCKS UNTIL WE CAME TO A STOP AT THE INTERSECTION OF NORTHEAST FIFTH AVENUE AND CRYSTAL STREET. UPON MAKING CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE, I INFORMED HIM OF WHY HE WAS STOPPED AND REQUESTED HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE AND REGISTRATION, BOTH OF WHICH HE PROVIDED. I RETURNED TO MY PATROL VEHICLE AND REQUESTED BACK UP, AT WHICH TIME OFFICER PERUCHE RESPONDED TO THE SCENE. UPON OFFICER PERUCHE'S ARRIVAL, I AGAIN MADE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER, AND INFORMED HIM THAT HE WAS GETTING A VERBAL WARNING FOR FAULTY EQUIPMENT. I RETURNED HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE AND REGISTRATION AND ADVISED HIM that THE TRAFFIC STOP WAS OVER. I THEN ASKED THE DRIVER IF HE HAD ANYTHING IN THE VEHICLE AND IF HE MINDED IF I SEARCHED IT, AT WHICH TIME HE SAID HE HAD NOTHING IN THE VEHICLE AND DID NOT MIND IF I SEARCHED. I THEN MADE CONTACT WITH THE defendant, WHO WAS IN THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND WAS LATER IDENTIFIED AS TERRY PATRICK. UPON MAKING CONTACT WITH MR PATRICK, I REQUESTED HE STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE, AT WHICH TIME HE DID. AT THAT TIME I SEARCHED THE VEHICLE AND its CONTENTS, AND FOUND THREE "CRACK COCAINE ROCKS" INSIDE A SMALL GREEN TIN CAN, ALONG WITH A SMALL STEEL PIPE COMMONLY KNOWN AS A "CRACK PIPE" THAT WAS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WITHIN MR PATRICK'S REACH. I AGAIN MADE CONTACT WITH MR PATRICK AND ADVISED HIM THAT HE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST, AT WHICH TIME HE WAS HANDCUFFED, DOUBLE LOCKED BEHIND THE BACK. AT THAT TIME, I SEARCHED PATRICK'S PERSON AND FOUND TWO SMALL "PUSHERS" WHICH ARE COMMONLY USED TO PUSH RESIDUE OUT OF A CRACK PIPE. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE THREE CRACK ROCKS FOUND IN THE TIN WERE LATER FIELD TESTED POSITIVE FOR COCAINE. ADDITIONALLY, THE STEEL PUSHERS FOUND IN PATRICK'S POCKET WERE ALSO TESTED FOR ANY COCAINE RESIDUE, AT WHICH TIME THEY TESTED POSITIVE. AT THAT TIME, MR PATRICK WAS PLACED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE FOR TRANSPORT TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. I AGAIN MADE CONTACT WITH THE VEHICLE'S DRIVER AND ASKED HIM WHY IT TOOK SO LONG TO STOP HIS VEHICLE WHEN I ACTIVATED MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS, AND IF HE KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT THE DRUGS IN THE VEHICLE. HE STATED THAT HE ONLY SAW MR PATRICK TAKE THE GREEN CAN OUT OF HIS POCKET AND PUT IT ON THE VEHICLE'S DASHBOARD, BUT DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS INSIDE. MR PATRICK WAS TRANSPORTED TO CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY WHERE HIS BOND WAS HELD AT $5,500.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
