MOUNT DORA, Fla. – Two traffic stops in less than two weeks landed a man in jail on drug charges, and the more recent time, he was neither alone nor able to bail out.
A police officer in Florida “conducting traffic enforcement” on the evening of Oct. 11 saw a car “not stop behind the solid white stop bar” at a stop sign, so he pulled Adam Sameuel Beldyk over and “explained the reason for the stop.
“While speaking to Beldyk,” the arrest report continued, “he was extremely nervous and could not locate his driver’s license; Beldyk insisted that his license was in the vehicle’s trunk in a guitar case.
“I returned to my vehicle to run his information in the Spillman report writing system,” the officer wrote, “but Beldyk kept trying to exit the vehicle. I returned to the driver’s side door and allowed him to step out of the vehicle.
“Beldyk took one step and a clear glass pipe with a black residue and white powdery residue fell from his person, along with a black container.
“This pipe appeared to be a crack cocaine pipe. I detained Beldyk and walked him back to my patrol car while another officer stayed with him. Upon walking back to Beldyk’s vehicle, where he was standing, there was also a clear plastic baggie with a white powdery substance that field-tested positive for the presence of cocaine.”
The officer reported finding “a white brittle substance that was in the shape of a rock that field-tested positive for the presence of cocaine. Also located in the black box was a piece of folded tin foil with two small pieces of paper that field-tested positive for the presence of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) or (acid).”
Beldyk was arrested and taken to jail, where deputies made another discovery.
TRAFFIC STOP STORIES:
- Shoplifting suspect found ‘passed out and unresponsive’ after 2 violent episodes in patrol car
- Repeat offender charged with 2 new felonies, then released after 2 hours in jail
- She met her ex for sex but had trouble pounding the pavement with his car, cops say
The arrest report said they “put Beldyk through the body scanner and located shaved copper wire in his underwear; it should be noted that these are the same copper strains that were found inside the crack cocaine pipe that fell from his person on the traffic stop.”
Beldyk, 34, was charged with possession of a controlled substance (cocaine), possession of a controlled substance (crack cocaine), possession of a controlled substance (lysergic acid diethylamide), and possession of drug paraphernalia.
He was released in lieu of $8,500 bond after 15 hours in jail.
But he’d be back 12 days later.
Another Mount Dora officer saw the car Beldyk was in “without a tag light” after 1 a.m. on Oct. 23, so he “initiated a traffic stop on the vehicle.”
The officer reported Beldyk and the driver, Danielle Marie Hooper, “appeared to be nervous.
“I asked Danielle if it was OK for me to conduct a quick search in the vehicle, which Adam responded and declined.
“Danielle uttered just give me my citation and that she needed to go. Danielle stated that she and Adam were coming from a concert that they attended together, and she was ready to go home.”
Then, the arrest report said, the officer returned to his patrol car to write the ticket but,
“[Another officer] was communicating with Adam and Danielle, which informed [the officer] that they were in possession of glass pipes that contained residue of marijuana.”
The report didn’t specify how that happened but,
“Based on their admission of possession of contraband within the vehicle, [the officer] informed them that the vehicle was subject to search and requested for both Danielle and Adam to exit the vehicle.”
Authorities reported finding “a clear baggie which contained white powdery residue substances” and “field-tested positive for cocaine.”
Also, “A small black container … containing white powdery substances field-tested positive for cocaine.”
They noted “a blue smoking pipe that contained green leafy residue and field-tested positive for THC, a substance in marijuana.”
Plus, “Three orange pills imprinted 30LCI that were identified as Albuterol and one orange pill imprinted B 974 that was identified as amphetamine and dextro-amphetamine.”
And, “A small white baggie containing a green leafy substance presumed to be marijuana was located in a brown instrument bag.”
Then, “Adam declined possession of the found drugs and the paraphernalia from the vehicle. Adam stated that he had been trying to remain drug-free and that he had no knowledge of the drugs being in the vehicle.”
Hooper, the driver, reportedly had a different story.
“Danielle stated that the cocaine and drug paraphernalia belonged to Adam,” the arrest report said. “However, THC wax and the pills were found in Danielle’s wallet inside her purse.
“Danielle provided us with a glass smoking pipe which she was [sic] concealed between her legs in her underwear. While [another officer] was conducting a property inventory of Danielle’s property, [the officer] located a hard candy-like substance that tested positive for THC wax.”
Both were arrested.
Hooper, 33, was charged with possession of THC wax, possession of cocaine, possession of Albuterol and amphetamine pills, and possession of drug equipment.
She was released after just five hours in jail in lieu of $8,500 bond.
This time, Beldyk was charged with possession of THC wax, possession of cocaine, possession of Albuterol and amphetamine pills, and possession of drug equipment; plus his bail was revoked for his earlier three counts of possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.
His bond was set at $6,000 and he has neither paid it, nor been released.
