| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: LYNN, KURT 0349 (AR08102937) ON 042708 AT APPROXIMATELY 2217 HOURS, I OBSERVED A WHITE NISSAN PICKUP TRUCK TURNING FROM US HIGHWAY 41 ON TO ARLINGTON. THE PICKUP TRUCK HAD NO DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT AND THE PARKING LIGHT ON THE DRIVER SIDE WAS HANGING FROM THE FRONT OF THE PICKUP TRUCK. THERE ALSO APPEARED TO BE SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE. AT THAT TIME, I FOLLOWED THE VEHICLE DOWN ARLINGTON AND OBSERVED THE VEHICLE TURN RIGHT ON TO INDEPENDENCE HIGHWAY WITHOUT STOPPING FOR THE STOP SIGN, AT WHICH TIME I INITIATED A TRAFFIC STOP ON THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP UNTIL EAST PERRY STREET AFTER THIS DEPUTY HAD INITIATED MY SIREN. UPON CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER, I OBSERVED THAT HE WAS BLEEDING FROM HIS MOUTH AND LIP AND BOTH OF HIS HANDS WERE COVERED IN BLOOD. THE DRIVER EXPLAINED TO THIS DEPUTY THAT HE HAD BEEN INVOLVED IN A VEHICLE CRASH AND HAD HIT A TREE. HE EXPLAINED THAT HE WAS SCARED, THAT HE HAD LEFT THE SCENE WITHOUT REPORTING THE CRASH WHICH HAD CAUSED THE DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF HIS VEHICLE. THE DRIVER DID ASK TO BE CHECKED BY EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES (EMS) WHICH WAS DONE. HOWEVER, THE DRIVER WAS ALSO FOUND TO BE IN POSSESSION OF A SMALL AMOUNT OF MARIJUANA. THIS MARIJUANA WAS IN THE FORM OF A PARTIALLY SMOKED MARIJUANA CIGARETTE THAT WAS CONTAINED INSIDE A PACKAGE OF CIGARETTES LOCATED IN THE DEFENDANT'S LEFT FRONT SHORTS POCKET. THE CRASH LOCATION, 18 KELLER COURT IN HERNANDO, WAS CONFIRMED BY ANOTHER DEPUTY. THE DEFENDANT WAS INFORMED OF HIS ARREST FOR POSSESSION OF MARIJUANA IN AN AMOUNT UNDER TWENTY GRAMS, LEAVING THE SCENE OF A TRAFFIC CRASH AND FAILURE TO REPORT A TRAFFIC CRASH. THE DEFENDANT WAS READ HIS MIRANDA WARNINGS VIA CARD, TO WHICH HE ADVISED HE UNDERSTOOD HIS RIGHTS AND WOULD CONTINUE TO SPEAK. HOWEVER, DUE TO AN ELEVATED HEART RATE, THE DEFENDANT WAS TRANSPORTED TO CITRUS MEMORIAL HEALTH SYSTEM BY EMS FOR FURTHER MEDICAL EVALUATION. THE DEFENDANT WAS MEDICALLY CLEARED AND RELEASED FROM CMH A SHORT TIME LATER. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. BOND SET PER SCHEDULE. THE DEFENDANT WAS ISSUED A TOTAL OF SEVEN CITATIONS FOR VARIOUS TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS AS WELL AS THE VEHICLE CRASH. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
