| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: SEFFERN, JONATHAN JR 0623 (AR11121401) DID UNLAWFULLY HAVE IN HER ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION WITH THE INTENT TO USE, OR DID UNLAWFULLY USE, AN OBJECT INTENDED OR DESIGNED FOR USE IN STORING, CONCEALING OR INJECTING, INGESTING, INHALING OR OTHERWISE INTRODUCING INTO THE HUMAN BODY, A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: RED AND BLACK GLASS PIPE AND A YELLOW PRESCRIPTION BOTTLE WITH A SMALL AMOUNT OF MARIJUANA, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA'S STATE STATUTE 893.147(1). ON 062311 WHILE CONDUCTING AN EXTRA PATROL IN THE AREA OF OLD HOMOSASSA, I OBSERVED A VEHICLE FAIL TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT THE STOP SIGN AT THE INTERSECTION OF SOUTH BOULEVARD AND WEST YULEE DRIVE. I GOT BEHIND THE OBSERVED VEHICLE AND CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP UTILIZING ALL EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT AT THE INTERSECTION OF WEST YULEE DRIVE AND WEST SEMINOLE PLACE. UPON MAKING CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER, MS TIFFANY COLLINS, LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT, I REQUESTED HER DRIVER'S LICENSE, REGISTRATION AND PROOF OF INSURANCE. THE DEFENDANT WAS ONLY ABLE TO PROVIDE ME WITH HER FLORIDA DRIVER'S LICENSE. I THEN ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY ILLEGAL ITEMS INSIDE THE VEHICLE SUCH AS GUNS, KNIFES OR NARCOTICS, WHICH SHE ADVISED NO. I THEN ASKED IF SHE WOULD GIVE CONSENT TO A SEARCH OF HER VEHICLE, WHICH SHE ADVISED YES. I THEN RETURNED TO MY PATROL VEHICLE AND COMPLETED A WRITTEN WARNING NUMBER 334106B FOR FAILURE TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN. I THEN RETURNED TO THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE AND ASKED IF SHE WOULD STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT DID EXIT THE VEHICLE AT WHICH TIME I PROVIDED HER WITH HER FLORIDA DRIVER'S LICENSE AND HER COPY OF THE WRITTEN WARNING. I THEN AGAIN ASKED IF SHE WOULD PROVIDE CONSENT TO A SEARCH OF HER VEHICLE, TO WHICH SHE ADVISED YES. I THEN REQUESTED THAT THE DEFENDANT'S PASSENGER, MS BONITO KELLY, EXIT THE VEHICLE. UPON CONDUCTING A SEARCH OF THE VEHICLE, I LOCATED A RED AND BLACK GLASS PIPE COMMONLY USED FOR SMOKING MARIJUANA WHICH CONTAINED MARIJUANA RESIDUE IN THE BOWL, IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR PANEL. I ALSO LOCATED A PLASTIC YELLOW PRESCRIPTION PILL BOTTLE WHICH CONTAINED A SMALL AMOUNT OF A GREEN LEAFY SUBSTANCE, WHICH I WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY AS MARIJUANA THROUGH MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE. I PRESENTED THE NARCOTICS TO THE DEFENDANT AND HER PASSENGER AND ASKED WHO THEY BELONGED TO, AT WHICH TIME THEY BOTH DENIED OWNERSHIP. DUE TO THE PARAPHERNALIA BEING IN THE DEFENDANT'S CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION, SHE WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED, BEHIND HER BACK, (DOUBLE LOCKED), SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANT WAS CHARGED WITH ONE COUNT OF POSSESSION OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA WITH A BOND AMOUNT OF $500.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. THE DEFENDANT ALSO SIGNED A PROPERTY RECEIPT FOR THE NARCOTICS WHICH WERE LATER PACKAGED AND TURNED IN TO EVIDENCE.
