ON 050216, I WAS DISPATCHED TO 4029 SOUTH SUNCOAST BOULEVARD IN REGARDS TO AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING A WHITE FOUR DOOR VEHICLE AT THE WALGREEN'S IN HOMOSASSA FLORIDA. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN BY A WHITE FEMALE AND SHE DROVE OVER THE CURB AND INTO THE BUSHES. UPON ARRIVAL, I OBSERVED A WHITE FEMALE SEATED IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT OF A WHITE FOUR DOOR BUICK, AND A WHITE MALE WAS ATTACHING A TOW STRAP TO THE REAR BUMPER OF THE VEHICLE AND ATTACHING IT TO A WHITE PICKUP. HE WAS ASSISTING THE FEMALE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE BUSHES AND UP OVER THE CURB. WHEN I MADE CONTACT WITH THIS FEMALE, SHE IDENTIFIED HERSELF AS DEFENDANT, MS TIA GRAVES, AND WHEN I REQUESTED THAT SHE PRODUCE HER DRIVERS LICENSE SHE BECAME VERY NERVOUS STATING THAT SHE HAD ALL OF HER PAPERWORK AND THAT SHE HAD A DRIVER'S LICENSE . AFTER FUMBLING THROUGH HER PURSE SHE PRODUCED A PAPER COPY OF AN APPLICATION FOR A TENNESSEE DRIVER'S LICENSE. I THEN ASKED THE FEMALE WHERE SHE IS FROM BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAD A FLORIDA LICENSE PLATE. THE FEMALE STATED THAT SHE WAS BORN AND RAISED IN FLORIDA BUT NOW LIVES IN TENNESSEE. I THEN ASKED IF SHE EVER POSSESSED A FLORIDA DRIVER'S LICENSE OR STATE IDENTIFICATION, IN WHICH THE FEMALE RESPONDED THAT SHE HAD A FLORIDA DRIVER'S LICENSE, BUT IT WAS SUSPENDED. AFTER THE FEMALE PROVIDED ME WITH PROOF OF INSURANCE AND THE REGISTRATION PAPERS TO THE VEHICLE, I CONDUCTED A COMPUTER CHECK ON MS GRAVES, THE DEFENDANT, FOR BOTH A FLORIDA AND TENNESSEE DRIVER'S LICENSE, TENNESSE SHOWED A VALID LICENSE THAT EXPIRED ON 072816 HOWEVER, DRIVER AND VEHICLE INFORMATION DATABASE INDICATED THAT THE FEMALE'S DRIVER'S LICENSE HAS BEEN SUSPENDED SINCE 2013 AND HAS BEEN EXPIRED SINCE 090412. A FURTHER HISTORY CHECK OF THE DEFENDANT'S DRIVER'S LICENSE SHOWS THAT SHE HAD TWO PRIOR CHARGES FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED. WHILE CONDUCTING MY DRIVER'S LICENSE INVESTIGATION, K-9 DEPUTY LABORDA ARRIVED ON THE SCENE AND AFTER ADVISING HIM THAT THE DEFENDANT APPEARED VERY NERVOUS AND KEPT PACING BACK AND FORTH, DEPUTY LABORDA ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF SHE WAS POSSIBLY UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF SOME FORM OF MEDICATION OR NARCOTIC. THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT SHE HAS NOT USED ANY DRUGS AND DID NOT POSSESS ANY HOWEVER, WHEN WE REQUESTED TO SEARCH HER VEHICLE, SHE WOULD TALK AROUND THE SUBJECT NOT GIVING A DEFINITIVE ANSWER, YES OR NO, MAINLY STATING "EVERY TIME I LET YOU GUYS SEARCH MY CARS YOU TEAR THEM UP." IT WAS AT THAT POINT, DEPUTY LABORDA USED HIS K-9 PARTNER, GUNNY, TO WALK AROUND THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE, AND GUNNY INDICATED THE POSSIBLE PRESENCE OF AN ILLEGAL SUBSTANCE. DEPUTY LABORDA CONDUCTED A SEARCH OF THE DEFENDANT 'S VEHICLE WHERE HE FOUND A SMALL AMOUNT OF MARIJUANA, 2 GLASS PIPES, ONE USED COMMONLY FOR SMOKING METHAMPHETAMINE, ONE USED COMMONLY FOR MARIJUANA, AND ALSO LOCATED A METAL PIPE COMMONLY USED FOR SMOKING MARIJUANA. SEE K-9 SUPPLEMENT FOR FURTHER. IT WAS AT THAT POINT, I READ MS GRAVES HER CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS PER PRE PRINTED CARD ADVISED HER THAT SHE WAS UNDER ARREST AND SHE STATED THAT SHE UNDERSTOOD HER RIGHTS AND BEGAN MUMBLING UNDER HER BREATH.
