ON 121613 AT APPROXIMATELY 2249 HOURS, I WAS TRAVELING NORTH BOUND ON ROCK CRUSHER ROAD IN AREA VENABLE STREET. I NOTICED A SINGLE VEHICLE APPROACHING WITH A RIGHT INOPERABLE HEADLIGHT. I CONDUCTED A U-TURN AND CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC STOP AT THE INTERSECTION OF ROCK CRUSHER ROAD AND VENABLE STREET. I MADE CONTACT WITH THE DEFENDANT, MS LEILA BEVILLE. WHILE SPEAKING WITH HER, I REQUESTED HER DRIVER'S LICENSE INFORMATION AND ASKED WHERE SHE WAS GOING TO WHICH SHE STATED TO A FRIENDS HOUSE. I ASKED IF SHE HAS EVER BEEN ARRESTED BEFORE AND SHE STATED NO. I ASKED MS BEVILLE WHY SHE HAS A CLASS A COMMERCIAL DRIVER'S LICENSE (CDL) AND SHE ADVISED THAT A LONG TIME AGO SHE USED TO DRIVE A SEMI TRUCK. I ASKED HER HOW LONG AGO TO WHICH SHE STATED APPROXIMATELY SEVEN YEARS AGO. I THEN ASKED HER WHAT KIND OF TRAILERS SHE USED AND SHE STATED 58 FOOT TRAILERS AND ALSO 42 FOOT TRAILERS. I ASKED IF THEY WERE BOXED TRAILERS OR REEFER UNITS AND SHE STATED THEY WERE BOX TRAILERS. I ASKED HOW LONG SHE HAD DRIVEN A TRACTOR TRAILER TO WHICH SHE STATED A LONG TIME. DUE TO MY EXPERIENCE, I KNOW THAT TRAILERS ARE REFERRED TO AS VANS AND THAT THEY ARE EITHER 53 FOOT OR 48 FEET LONG. ALSO, WHILE SPEAKING WITH THE DEFENDANT, I COULD TELL SHE WAS EXTREMELY NERVOUS. SHE KEPT LOOKING AROUND AND STATING SHE WAS IN A HURRY. DUE TO THE FACT SHE WAS EVASIVE AND NERVOUS, I DEPLOYED MY CERTIFIED NARCOTICS DETECTION K-9 ZEUS, WHERE A 360 DEGREE SNIFF OF THE FREE AND OPEN AIR AROUND THE 1997 WHITE FORD EXPLORER, BEARING LICENSE PLATE ALZL05, WAS OCCUPIED SOLELY BY THE DEFENDANT. K-9 ZEUS WAS BROUGHT TO THE FRONT RIGHT HEADLIGHT AND WORKED IN A COUNTERCLOCKWISE DIRECTION. AT THE DRIVER DOOR SEAM, ZEUS SHOWED A NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE AND ALERTED TO THE ODER OF NARCOTICS. ZEUS WAS THEN SECURED IN THE REAR MY PATROL VEHICLE. AT THAT TIME DEPUTY REYNOLDS ARRIVED ON SCENE WHILE I SEARCHED THE VEHICLE. I ASKED MS BEVILLE IF SHE USED ANY NARCOTICS OR IF THERE WOULD BE ANY IN her VEHICLE. SHE STATED SHE does NOT USE ANY NARCOTICS AND THAT TO HER KNOWLEDGE THERE SHOULD NOT BE ANYTHING IN THE VEHICLE. INSIDE THE VEHICLE WAS A SMALL BLACK PURSE. THIS BLACK PURSE WAS UNDER AN ORANGE BAG THAT THE DEFENDANT RETRIEVED HER DRIVER'S LICENSE FROM. INSIDE THE SMALL BLACK PURSE WAS SEVERAL ALCOHOL SWABS AND A WHITE BANDANA WITH RED ROSES. ROLLED UP IN THE BANDANA WAS A GLASS PIPE CONTAINING A WHITE RESIDUE AND DUE TO MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE, I BELIEVED IT TO BE METHAMPHETAMINE. THERE WAS ALSO TWO BAGGIES THAT CONTAINED A RESIDUE OF A WHITE CRYSTALLINE SUBSTANCE THAT DUE TO TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE I BELIEVED IT TO BE METHAMPHETAMINE. THERE WAS ANOTHER PLASTIC BAGGIE CONTAINING A WHITE CRYSTALLINE SUBSTANCE THAT THROUGH MY TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE I BELIEVED IT TO BE METHAMPHETAMINE. THIS BAGGIE WEIGHED APPROXIMATELY 1.09 GRAMS. ALSO IN THE PURSE, I LOCATED FIVE $100.00 BILLS, EIGHT $50.00 BILLS, TWENTY $20.00 BILLS, THREE $10.00 BILLS, FOUR $5.00 BILLS, AND APPROXIMATELY ONE HUNDRED $1.00 BILLS. IN THE SMALL PURSE WAS ALSO A SILVER MINI 50 BRAND DIGITAL SCALE. ALSO IN THE PURSE WERE NINE EMPTY BAGGIES CONSISTENT WITH THE SIZE OF THE BAGGIES OF METHAMPHETAMINE INSIDE. AT THAT TIME, THE DEFENDANT WAS PLACED UNDER ARREST AND HANDCUFFED, (DOUBLE LOCKED), BEHIND HER BACK BY DEPUTY REYNOLDS. THE DEFENDANT WAS READ HER MIRANDA RIGHTS VIA PRE PRINTED AGENCY CARD. SHE STATED SHE UNDERSTOOD HER RIGHTS BUT WANTED AN ATTORNEY. SHE WAS THEN PLACED IN THE BACK OF DEPUTY REYNOLDSâ VEHICLE. FURTHER SEARCH OF THE VEHICLE REVEALED, IN THE BACK SEAT, ANOTHER PURSE. INSIDE THAT PURSE WAS A SMALL BANK BAG CONTAINING AN ADDITIONAL $5.00 BILL ALONG WITH FORTY THREE $1.00 BILLS. NO OTHER CONTRABAND WAS FOUND INSIDE THE VEHICLE. WHILE COMPLETING THE INTERIOR SEARCH OF THE VEHICLE, MS BEVILLE STATED TO DEPUTY POLLIARD THAT SHE DID WANT TO SPEAK WITH ME. I ADVISED HER SHE HAD THE RIGHT TO AN ATTORNEY AND DID NOT HAVE TO ANSWER MY QUESTIONS BUT STATED SHE WANTED TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS I HAD. I ASKED HOW SHE GETS HER money AND SHE RESPONDED THAT HER MOTHER PAYS HER $500.00 PER MONTH TO TAKE CARE OF HER. I ASKED IF SHE HAD ANY PROOF HER MOTHER WAS GIVING HER THE MONEY TO WHICH SHE SAID NO. I ASKED MS BEVILLE IF HER DNA OR FINGERPRINTS WOULD SHOW UP ON EITHER THE METHAMPHETAMINE PIPE OR BAGGIES AND SHE STATED THAT THEY WOULD. I ASKED HER IF I CONTACTED her MOTHER THAT SHE WOULD STATE THAT SHE PAYS HER $500.00 PER MONTH AND HER RESPONSE WAS SHE DID NOT KNOW WHAT SHE WOULD SAY. WHILE ON SCENE, MS BEVILLEâS CELLULAR TELEPHONE CONTINUALLY RANG AND SHE received SEVERAL TEXT MESSAGES THAT I DID NOT READ. THE CURRENCY THAT WAS IN HER PURSE WAS IN $100.00 INCREMENTS CONSISTENT WITH THE SALE OF NARCOTICS. I ASKED MS BEVILLE WHY THE CURRENCY WAS IN $100.00 DOLLAR INCREMENTS TO WHICH SHE STATED SHE WENT TO A GROCERY STORE AND TURNED IN SEVERAL $1.00 BILLS AND THAT SHE WAS GIVEN BACK THE MONEY IN $100.00 INCREMENTS. I ASKED IF SHE WAS ABLE TO PRODUCE A RECEIPT AND SHE STATED SHE could NOT. I ASKED HOW LONG IT TOOK HER TO COLLECT THE $1.00 BILLS TO EQUAL THE AMOUNT OF MONEY SHE HAD AND SHE SAID THREE YEARS. I ASKED HOW MUCH MONEY SHE THOUGHT SHE HAD IN HER VEHICLE AND SHE STATED APPROXIMATELY $800.00. THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF US CURRENCY FOUND IN HER VEHICLE WAS $1,498.00. THE CURRENCY WAS COUNTED BY MYSELF AND DEPUTY REYNOLDS. DEPUTY POLLIARD RESPONDED TO THE SCENE AND TRANSPORTED THE DEFENDANT TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY. MYSELF AND DEPUTY REYNOLDS WAITED FOR KNIGHTLY AUTO TO RESPOND AND TOW THE VEHICLE. PRIOR THE DEFENDANT LEAVING THE SCENE AND PLACED UNDER ARREST, I COMPLETED A FIELD TEST ON THE WHITE CRYSTALLINE RESIDUE WHICH YIELDED A POSITIVE REACTION FOR METHAMPHETAMINE. THE RESIDUE ON THE METHAMPHETAMINE PIPE WAS ALSO TESTED IN A DIFFERENT KIT AND ALSO YIELDED A POSITIVE REACTION FOR METHAMPHETAMINE. I THEN RESPONDED TO THE CITRUS COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY FOR BOOKING AND PROCESSING. THE DEFENDANT WAS ISSUED WARNING CITATION 374224B FOR AN INOPERABLE HEADLIGHT. I COMPLETED THE FORFEITURE PAPERWORK DUE TO THE MONEY BEING PACKAGED WITH THE NARCOTICS IN $100.00 INCREMENTS AND THE DEFENDANT HAD NO WAY TO PROVE ANY WAY OF EARNING THIS money. THE DEFENDANTâS BOND WAS SET AT $11,000.00, PER THE BOND SCHEDULE. ALL CONTRABAND WAS PACKAGED AND LATER TURNED INTO EVIDENCE. THE FORFEITURE PAPERWORK WAS EXPLAINED AND SIGNED BY THE DEFENDANT. THE US CURRENCY WAS ALSO TURNED IN TO EVIDENCE IN A separate LOCKER. |
