| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: BONURA, MATTHEW 0334 (AR11121100) DID, KNOWING HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE OR DRIVING PRIVILEGE HAD BEEN CANCELLED, SUSPENDED OR REVOKED, DRIVE A MOTOR VEHICLE UPON THE HIGHWAYS OF THIS STATE WHILE SUCH LICENSE OR PRIVILEGE WAS CANCELLED, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 322.34(2)(A). ON 060511 AT APPROXIMATELY 1510 HOURS, I RECEIVED A TELEPHONE CALL FROM AN ANONYMOUS INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS CONTACTED THIS AGENCY FOR THE PAST THREE DAYS. THIS INDIVIDUAL INFORMED ME THAT THE DEFENDANT, WILLIAM ALBRIGHT, HAS BEEN DRIVING DOWN SANDY POINT OFF OF TOM MASON ON A SUSPENDED LICENSE. FOR THE PAST THREE DAYS THIS DEPUTY HAS BEEN PULLING UP THE DEFENDANT'S DRIVER'S LICENSE PHOTOGRAPH VIA THE "D.A.V.I.D" PROGRAM, WHICH VERIFIED THAT THE DEFENDANT'S DRIVER'S LICENSE IS SUSPENDED. ON TODAY'S DATE, I RESPONDED TO SANDY POINT and TOM MASON IN REFERENCE TO the ANONYMOUS TIP I HAD RECEIVED. AT THAT TIME I OBSERVED THE DEFENDANT DRIVE BY my LOCATION, AND KNOWING THE DEFENDANT HAD A SUSPENDED DRIVER'S LICENSE FOR DUI, I CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP. I EXITED MY VEHICLE AND MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT, WHO I OBSERVED TO BE VISIBLY SHAKING. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE KNEW WHY I STOPPED HIM. HE STATED THAT HE DID AND INFORMED ME THAT HE KNEW HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED. AT THAT TIME I PLACED THE DEFENDANT IN HANDCUFFS (DOUBLE LOCKED) IN FRONT OF HIS PERSON DUE TO HIM HAVING A PHYSICAL INJURY. THE DEFENDANT'S VEHICLE WAS SECURED AND LEFT AT SCENE. I THEN CONFIRMED THROUGH FCIC/NCIC THAT THE DEFENDANT'S DRIVER'S LICENSE WAS SUSPENDED FOR DUI. AT THAT TIME THE DEFENDANT WAS SECURED IN THE REAR OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE DETENTION FACILITY, THE DEFENDANT WAS ISSUED FLORIDA TRAFFIC CITATION 2886-GJX (2) FOR KNOWINGLY DRIVING ON A SUSPENDED DRIVER'S LICENSE FOR DUI, WITH A MANDATORY COURT DATE OF 062311 AT 1300 HOURS. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $10,000.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. "If you are a person with a disability who needs any accommodation in order to participate in this proceeding, you are entitled, at no cost to you, to the provision of certain assistance.
