Hell hath no fury ...
2:03 p.m. 2000 Block of Blueberry Street. Disturbance Verbal. A woman stated her boyfriend locked her out of the house and would not let her inside. As the woman got more upset, she stated that her boyfriend did not return home last night and was sleeping with another woman.
While the deputy spoke further with the woman, he could smell the odor of a strong alcoholic beverage coming from her breath. Additionally, the woman appeared to be intoxicated and extremely uncooperative with anything law enforcement told her.
The deputy then made contact with the boyfriend, who said his girlfriend had been drinking all day and he did not want her at the house in her condition if she was going to yell and accuse him of sleeping with another woman. He further stated she could come inside if she would go to a different room.
The woman continued to yell about the boyfriend’s suspended license and how he drinks and drives. The woman stated she wanted to go to her friend’s house and left the residence.
Need for speed: 100 in a 35
9:34 p.m. Just off Palm Coast Parkway. Speeding/Street Racing. A deputy and a corporal heard motorcycles accelerating rapidly on U.S. 1. They went to the area and parked their marked patrol vehicles in the center median near Hargrove Grade and turned off their lights.
They walked up to the intersection and observed two motorcycles accelerating rapidly in an apparent exhibition of speed, which was visually estimated in excess of 100 mph in a posted 35 zone on Hargrove Grade and Industry Drive.
An orange/black motorcycle then continued to U.S. 1 where it stopped at a stop sign. Its headlights illuminated the officers wearing agency-issued uniforms with badges, patches and gun belts. The officers motioned the driver to stop. The motorcycle seemed to comply and remained in position
Then the deputy ordered the defendant to “stop” and “come here” to the center median. The motorcyclist refused to comply and turned southbound on U.S. 1, accelerating quickly. The deputy returned to his vehicle and began to pursue the motorcycle. During the pursuit, the motorcyclist obeyed all proper driving procedures, including using his indicator to turn and overtake vehicles.
Once the deputy stopped the motorcyclist, the man explained that a relative of his, who is a law enforcement officer in South Carolina, told him not to stop for police unless he sees red and blue lights.

On the balance beam of life
Evening. 1000 of Palm Harbour Parkway. DUI. A green Mazda four-door sedan was seen driving erratically seven times within the distance of a quarter mile. When the observing officer stopped the vehicle, the driver explained that he was going to the gas station for cigarettes.
The deputy observed signs of a great level of intoxication, including watery red eyes and slurred speech. During a field sobriety test, the man attempted three times to keep his balance, and then he gave up.
His blood alcohol content was registered at .362. He was then sent to Florida Hospital Flagler, where he was detoxed to a safe blood alcohol level before being transported to the inmate facility.
