| Probable cause affidavit: | SUBMITTED BY: SEFFERN, JONATHAN JR 0623 (AR10114890) UNLAWFULLY AND KNOWINGLY HAVE IN HIS ACTUAL OR CONSTRUCTIVE POSSESSION A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE, TO WIT: CANNABIS, COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS MARIJUANA, IN AN AMOUNT UNDER TWENTY GRAMS, IN VIOLATION OF FLORIDA STATE STATUTE 893.13(6)(B). ON 051810 WHILE TRAVELING EASTBOUND ON WEST CARDINAL STREET, I OBSERVED A BLUE IN COLOR FOUR DOOR MERCURY VEHICLE WHICH WAS A VEHICLE THAT THIS AGENCY HAD BEEN ATTEMPTING TO IDENTIFY IN REFERENCE TO BURGLARY SUSPECTS. UPON OBSERVING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS PARKED ON THE NORTHWEST SIDE OF THE GAS PUMPS OF THE KANGAROO GAS STATION ;LOCATED AT WEST CARDINAL STREET AND SOUTH GROSS AVENUE. AT THAT TIME, I PULLED MY PATROL VEHICLE TO THE SOUTHWEST SIDE OF the GAS PUMPS. I EXITED MY PATROL VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED TO THE GAS PUMP LOCATED AT THE CENTER OF BOTH VEHICLES. I ASKED THE DRIVER, LATER IDENTIFIED AS THE DEFENDANT MR ANDREW PAUL WILKERSON, IF HE WOULD SPEAK TO ME, TO WHICH HE STATED YES. I ASKED IF HE HAD ANY FORM OF IDENTIFICATION ON HIS PERSON, TO WHICH HE ADVISED HE HAD A FLORIDA DRIVER'S LICENSE AND I ASKED IF I COULD SEE IT. THE DEFENDANT HANDED ME HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE. AT THAT POINT, I WAS STANDING AT THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW OF BLUE MERCURY AND COULD SMELL AN ODOR OF MARIJUANA. UPON SMELLING THE ODOR, I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF THERE WAS ANYTHING ILLEGAL INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT ADVISED NO; HOWEVER, I NOTICED THAT THE DEFENDANT WOULD NOT LOOK ME IN THE EYES WHEN ANSWERING MY QUESTION. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF THERE WOULD BE ANY REASON WHY A CANINE NARCOTIC DETECTION DOG WOULD ALERT TO THE ODOR OF NARCOTICS FROM THE VEHICLE, TO WHICH THE DEFENDANT AGAIN WOULD NOT MAKE EYE CONTACT BUT HE DID ADVISE YES. THE DEFENDANT THEN HANDED ME A SMALL GREEN LEAFY SUBSTANCE FROM THE CENTER ASHTRAY. I WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY THIS GREEN LEAFY SUBSTANCE AS CANNABIS THROUGH MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF THERE WERE ANY OTHER ILLEGAL NARCOTICS INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, TO WHICH HE LIFTED HIS HAT OFF OF HIS HEAD, ADVISED YES AND HANDED ME A CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE CONTAINING A GREEN LEAFY SUBSTANCE WHICH I WAS ALSO ABLE TO IDENTIFY AS CANNABIS THROUGH MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE. I THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. UPON THE DEFENDANT EXITING THE VEHICLE, HE ADVISED HE HAD MORE CANNABIS INSIDE HIS LEFT FRONT PANTS POCKET. THE DEFENDANT REMOVED ANOTHER CLEAR PLASTIC BAGGIE CONTAINING A GREEN LEAFY SUBSTANCE WHICH I WAS ALSO ABLE TO IDENTIFY AS CANNABIS. THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST, HANDCUFFED (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK, SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE AND TRANSPORTED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE DETENTION FACILITY, THE CANNABIS WAS WEIGHED AND WEIGHED APPROXIMATELY EIGHT AND ONE HALF GRAMS. THE CANNABIS WAS PACKAGED AND LATER TURNED IN TO EVIDENCE. THE DEFENDANT WAS CHARGED WITH ONE COUNT OF POSSESSION OF CANNABIS IN AN AMOUNT UNDER TWENTY GRAMS AND HELD ON A BOND OF $500.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. *NOT-EXEMPT* |
