Shell be coming round the mountain?
11:12 a.m. First Block of Undermount Path West. Vandalism.
A deputy responded to a delayed property complaint. The victim stated that someone had punctured holes in all four of his company’s vehicle. Upon further investigation, four .25 and one .22 caliber spent shell casings were found in front of the home. Neither the victim nor his stepson knew anything about the shells.
Later on, the deputy stopped at a neighbor’s home to ask about anything suspicious that occurred the night before. The neighbor stated that his neighbors had a small party with about 15-20 people, and between 11 p.m. and 12:30 a.m., he heard what could have been either fireworks or gunshots, but he was not sure. There are no suspects.
Running people over gives me an appetite!
9:19 p.m. 1500 Block of Palm Coast Parkway Northeast. Hit and run.
After a call-in reference to a crash, a deputy responded to a gas station after an incident of a vehicle being hit while its owner was pumping gas, and was pushed into the cement base of the pump by his large black sedan. When an employee of the station was asked about the identification of the suspect, the worker shared her first name only.
The suspect’s car, a black sedan, sped away from the scene shortly after the incident. While discussing information about the incident with the deputy, the victim received a phone call from a relative about the whereabouts of a black sedan with damage on the left side of the vehicle. The vehicle was later found in a driveway with the engine running. Inside the residence, the deputy confronted the suspect while the suspect was eating dinner, and she was then detained and transported to the Flagler County Inmate Facility.

Getting some shut-eye at the red light
6:16 p.m. at the intersection of State Road 100 and Town Center Boulevard. DUI.
While on patrol, a deputy noticed a silver hatchback stopped at a traffic light, but did not see any violations at the time. After stopping at a car wash, the deputy traveled back through the same intersection, and the same car was still in the exact same spot, and had not moved since. He then pulled over and approached the vehicle to make sure the occupant was all right.
Once the deputy arrived at the front of the vehicle, the driver appeared to be sleeping with the window half open and the radio on very low. The driver, who was the only occupant of the vehicle, was observed with his head rested against the driver's door window, his right hand on the shifter which was in drive, the other hand on the wheel, one foot on the brake, and the other foot with no sock or shoe resting beside the brake pedal. After minutes of jostling, the occupant finally woke up, and said "Thanks, man, I’m good," and hit the gas pedal, which jolted the car forward through a red light.
When the deputy finally re-approached the vehicle, the driver seemed confused and was frantic to find what the officer was telling him to do. After instruction on how to stop the car, the man was ordered to exit the vehicle and was observed to have an excess amount of saliva, bloodshot eyes, one shoe on and one shoe off, pants around his waist, and a lack of balance.
With this knowledge, the occupant of the vehicle was asked to do a field sobriety test, but refused to do anything he was asked. Once the man was transported to the Flagler County Inmate Facility, he still refused to conduct a breathalyzer test, or any other test that was asked to be performed.
