(Police) man’s best friend
12:45 a.m. — 300 Block of Atlantic Avenue. Animal complaint. An Ormond Beach police officer was on routine patrol when he observed a yellow Labrador walking in the middle of Atlantic Avenue. The officer said there was no one around who appeared to be the owner, and that traffic was not slowing down for the dog.
According to the report, the officer was afraid for the dog’s safety, put on his emergency lights and secured the dog in the back of his patrol car. The officer described the dog as friendly.
'Dew' the right thing
1:30 p.m. — 700 Block of Granada Boulevard. Theft. A Walgreens pharmacist was arrested for stealing approximately $518.02 worth of merchandise, including two cartons of cigarettes, 15 frozen cheeseburgers and 390 bottles of Mountain Dew, over his three years of employment.
According to the report, the defendant also admitted to the store’s loss-prevention officer that, on two occasions, he stole non-scheduled drugs (Ibuprofen) from the pharmacy.
The defendant told police he took the items due to a lack of money, and added that he paid the store for several items after taking them, but he had no proof of that.
