| Probable cause affidavit: |
SUBMITTED BY: INDORATO, THOMAS 0712 (AR10118511) 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 122210 AT APPROXIMATELY 0739 HOURS, I WAS CONDUCTING A SECURITY CHECK OF SOUTH FLORIDA AVENUE IN FLORAL CITY. UPON EXITING THE DOLLAR GENERAL STORE, I STARTED TO HEAD SOUTH ON 41, AT WHICH TIME, I CAME UP ON A 1984 DODGE VAN BEARING TAG NUMBER 256LEI. UPON RUNNING THE TAG IN FCIC/NCIC, THE REGISTERED OWNER/DEFENDANT, LATER IDENTIFIED AS JACK PETER SALOZZO, DID NOT CURRENTLY HOLD A VALID DRIVER'S LICENSE DUE TO SUSPENSIONS. AT THAT TIME, I RAN THE DEFENDANT IN "DAVID," which CONFIRMED THAT the DRIVER/DEFENDANT HAD A SUSPENDED DRIVER'S LICENSE FOR FAILURE TO PAY TRAFFIC CITATIONS ON 12062010 AND NOTICE WAS GIVEN ON 111610. AT THAT TIME, I ACTIVATED MY EMERGENCY OVERHEAD LIGHTS AND THE FINAL RESTING SPOT FOR THE TRAFFIC STOP WAS 7870 SOUTH FLORIDA AVENUE (EXPRESS LANE FOOD). I THEN EXITED MY PATROL VEHICLE AND APPROACHED THE DRIVER/DEFENDANT. AT THAT TIME, I POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE, TO MATCH THE PICTURE IN "DAVID". A THAT TIME, I ASKED THE DEFENDANT FOR HIS DRIVER'S LICENSE REGISTRATION AND PROOF OF INSURANCE. AT WHICH TIME, HE HANDED THE PAPERWORK OVER TO ME AND I RETURNED BACK TO MY PATROL VEHICLE. I THEN RAN THE DEFENDANT IN TELETYPE AND SPOKE WITH OPERATOR 0070, WHO CONFIRMED THAT the DRIVER'S LICENSE HAD BEEN SUSPENDED WITH TWO SUSPENSIONS ON 120610 AND A NOTICE GIVEN ON 111610. I THEN EXITED MY VEHICLE AGAIN AND APPROACHED THE DEFENDANT WHO WAS STILL SITTING IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT OF THE VEHICLE. I ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF HE PAID HIS TRAFFIC CITATIONS THAT HE PREVIOUSLY HAD, AT which TIME, HE STATED THAT HE DID NOT. I THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT HOW LONG HE HAD TO PAY HIS CITATIONS FROM THE DATE HE RECEIVED THEM, AT WHICH TIME, HE STATED 30 DAYS. I THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT IF IT HAD BEEN OVER 30 DAYS SINCE HE received HIS CITATIONS AND WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THE 30 DAY MARK, AT which TIME, THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT IT HAD BEEN OVER 30 DAYS AND THAT HIS LICENSE MUST HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED. I THEN ASKED THE DEFENDANT TO STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND TO PLACE HIS HANDS ON THE SIDE OF THE VAN, AT which TIME, I PATTED THE DEFENDANT DOWN FOR ANY WEAPONS WHICH MET WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. I THEN ADVISED THE DEFENDANT THAT HE WAS BEING PLACED UNDER ARREST FOR DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED, AT WHICH TIME, THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED IN TWO SETS OF HANDCUFFS (DOUBLE LOCKED) BEHIND HIS BACK AND SECURED IN THE REAR SEAT OF MY PATROL VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT AT EXPRESS LANE FOODS PER THE DEFENDANT WITH THE KEYS INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE DEFENDANT STATED THAT HIS BOSS WOULD PICK UP HIS VEHICLE AT A LATER TIME. ONE OF THE CASHIERS AT THE FOOD MART KNEW THE DEFENDANT AND THE DEFENDANT ADVISED THE CASHIER TO CONTACT HIS BOSS TO COME AND PICK UP HIS VEHICLE AT WHICH TIME SHE DID SO. I THEN TRANSPORTED THE DEFENDANT TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY WITHOUT INCIDENT WHERE HE WAS TURNED OVER TO THE DETENTION STAFF FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANT'S BOND WAS SET AT $500.00 PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. I THEN TURNED OVER THE DEFENDANT'S WALLET ALONG WITH SIX ONE DOLLAR BILLS AND TWO QUARTERS ALONG WITH HIS CELLULAR TELEPHONE AND A PACK OF CIGARETTE'S TO THE FACILITY STAFF, WHICH WERE IN HIS POSSESSION. THE DEFENDANT WAS THEN ISSUED CRIMINAL CITATION NUMBER 4141-GJX9, FOR KNOWINGLY DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED WITH A MANDATORY COURT DATE OF 011311 AT 1300 HOURS. THE DEFENDANT'S SUSPENDED DRIVER'S LICENSE ALONG WITH THE CRIMINAL CITATION WAS LATER TURNED IN TO RECORDS.
