Bombs away
6:49 p.m. — 100 Block of Princess Geraldine Place. Suspicious Incident. A woman advised the deputy that she recently came across some sort of plastic explosive while cleaning out her neighbor’s garage. The woman explained that the elderly female neighbor who just moved out of the adjacent residence used to serve in the Polish military and that she was very “strange” and kept a lot of odd memorabilia around her home.
The women continued to explain that the item looked like C-4 and that she wanted to turn it over to law enforcement for disposal. She took the item and placed it on the ground in front of the street at her home.
The substance was green, with metal caps on the end with the numbers “7169” inscribed. Due to the item's appearance, there was a possibility that it was a type of plastic explosive. The St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office’s bomb squad was contacted, and the area was evacuated. After a lengthy investigation, the suspicious substance was discovered to be a clay epoxy containing saponite and other non-explosive materials. Once deemed safe, the substance was returned to the residence.

He bit my back ... Well, no, he didn't
7:52 p.m. — 100 Block of Ellison Lane. Intoxication. A female caller, who was visibly upset and intoxicated, explained that she lied to dispatch in reference to a male subject biting her back. She further stated that she located a text message in his cell phone from last night inviting another female to his residence.
According to the female caller, she then “went crazy” and knocked down the television, threw candies and other objects on the floor, and dumped out a drawer in the kitchen. The deputy then made contact with the male subject, who was also intoxicated, and he confirmed the female’s statement and advised that she only called the Sheriff’s Office because he pretended to call the police after she started to “tear apart” the residence. Both parties were uncooperative and refused to complete a written statement. There was no evidence of a crime at the time.

Light my pool
11:44 a.m. — 100 Block of Egret Pass. Larceny. Upon arrival at a residence under construction, the deputy met the victim, an owner of a local pool company, who stated that five days prior he installed a Hayward brand “LED Color Logic” pool light, valued at $500.
The man explained that once the light was installed, he did not return until this day. When the victim returned to continue work on the pool, he found that the light was missing. He then advised the deputy that the light had to be stolen by a person familiar with electrical and lighting work, due to the complexity of the removal. The man continued expressing that he feels he is being targeted because, the month before, a large amount of blue tile was stolen from a separate residence that was having a pool built. The deputy went to the rear of the house to examine for physical evidence, and the victim was given a case card.
Sleeping in the swale
Daytime. — 100 Block of Brian Lane. Narcotics.
A deputy was called to the residence in response to a suspicious white female sleeping in her car. Once the deputy observed the tan Ford Contour parked in the swale of the residence, he approached the vehicle and observed the female asleep in the front passenger seat.
Directly next to her, under the emergency break, was a multicolored marijuana pipe in plain view. He then woke the defendant and asked her to step out of the vehicle. She stated she was scared and wanted to talk to her boyfriend, who lived at the residence where she was parked. The defendant asked why she was asked to step out of the car, to which the deputy responded that he had observed the marijuana pipe that contained marijuana residue.
She explained that the pipe belonged to her boyfriend. Based on the information presented, she was placed under arrest. The vehicle the defendant was found in was dirty and had various personal items scattered within it. There was however a newer gray metal bracelet that had been cleaned, which the deputy had sent to the crime cnalyst to cross reference with any stolen bracelets.
