Going under the mat for the meat
10 a.m. — 100 Block of Espanola Road. Burglary – Investigate. A woman left her residence locked and secured before she went to the hospital for medical treatment. She further stated that she normally keeps her house key under the front door mat while she is gone.
The victim recently purchased a large amount of meat valued at $76, and she was storing it in the freezer inside her residence. When she returned home, she discovered that her front door was ajar and all of her meat was stolen. She did not see the incident in progress and does not know who might have taken the meat.
There were no signs of forced entry, and the key under the front door mat was still present. The woman could not complete a sworn written statement to the above incident because she was extremely upset.

French-fry bandit?
5:57 p.m. — Palm Coast Parkway. Fleeing and Eluding. A deputy was driving northbound on Corporate Drive and came to a stop behind a 2000 Chevrolet sedan stopped at the red light. The white female driving the Chevy suddenly made a left turn onto Palm Coast Parkway while the light was still red, causing westbound traffic to brake.
The deputy activated his emergency lights and siren in an attempt to stop the vehicle for a traffic violation. Eventually, the driver entered the turn lane at Brushwood Lane, at which time the deputy maneuvered his fully marked police vehicle next to the truck so she could see it was a law enforcement vehicle and to see inside for any possible medical issues.
The woman scowled at the deputy and drove away.
The deputy followed behind the woman with his patrol vehicle’s emergency lights and siren activated while she made several other turns until she drove into a driveway on Wellham Lane. The garage door opened, and the woman drove her vehicle forcefully into the garage, causing her front bumper to strike the back wall of the garage.
The woman started to close the garage door. The deputy exited the patrol car and ran through the open garage door before it could close. The woman locked herself in the vehicle inside the garage and refused to exit. She was yelling that the deputy had no right to stop her.
There was a Wendy’s bag on the passenger seat, and the woman was eating French fries.
The deputy informed the woman that she was under arrest and to come out or he would be forced to break the window and gain entry.
The woman said, “Go ahead.” Another deputy who had arrived on the scene broke the rear driver’s side window. Once the window was broken, the deputy reached in to unlock the door so he could gain control of the woman’s hands, and she was secured without injury. A medical unit arrived to check for any medical issues, at which time she refused to speak to emergency personnel.
The woman was advised of her charges of fleeing and eluding and resisting arrest without violence, and she was transported to the Flagler County Inmate Facility.
STOLEN: More than $27,000 in cash and property

Watch yourself
10:20 a.m. — First Block of Regency Drive. Burglary – Residential. A man and his roommate advised deputies of a residential burglary in the morning when the man left to have oral surgery.
When the man returned, he observed that his residence had been ransacked. There is no fence around the residence, and there were three dogs running loose inside the residence at the time of the incident. The point of entry was made through a bedroom window, which was smashed with a small weight.
The main living-room area was completely ransacked, with items thrown everywhere throughout the room, but nothing was taken from this room. The front office was ransacked, and items removed include a framed $1,000 bill, a digital camera valued at $500, paperwork for two of the dogs, an iPhone 4G valued at approximately $600, a box of 50 $1 bills, and a Samsung 42-inch flat-screen TV valued at $600.
The man’s bedroom was locked when he left in the morning, but it appears the door was kicked open and the bedroom ransacked. Items missing from the room include a small black safe containing $7,000, two bonds worth a total of $525, the victim’s passport, five $20 silver certificates, seven $10 silver certificates, 50 $1 silver certificates, a $20 confederate bill, $2,000 in change, a TAG Heuer watch valued at $5,000, a Fossil watch valued at $150, a Lancaster watch valued at $500, a Rolex watch valued at $10,000 and a Bulova watch valued at $550.
Also found were a wooden jewelry box valued at $150, diamond earrings valued at $1,500, and a class ring valued at $350.
The victim is not sure who may have committed this crime, but during a recent garage sale, he felt that a man was checking out the place and becoming friendly with the three dogs.
