Let me sleep, or we're through
6:22 a.m. 1200 Block of Biltmore Drive. Disturbance. A man called the Ormond Beach Police department to complain about his neighbors loudly arguing, and when the officer arrived, the female neighbor said her boyfriend was trying to kick her out of the house.
The boyfriend was grabbing her stuff and taking it outside. He said the two went out drinking the night prior but got into a fight, so he left her at the bar.
After he picked her back up later, he said that she started nagging him and told him she wouldn't let him sleep tonight. The boyfriend called the relationship one-sided, and that's when he started moving her out of the house.
Since the girlfriend legally lives at the home, the boyfriend would have to have her evicted, the officer said. A friend came to pick up the girlfriend to have her sleep over at her house for the night.

When you gotta go, you gotta go
7:17 p.m. 600 Block of Fleming Avenue. Trespassers. While on patrol, an Ormond Beach Police Officer spotted a woman squatting in the southwest corner of a park on the grass in plain view. She had her pants and underwear down around her ankles, with her bottom exposed.
The officer approached the woman, told her to pull her pants up, and he looked around, but no one was present to see her exposed. The woman was then temporarily handcuffed while she explained that she was simply trying to urinate on the grass.
The woman consented to a search and nothing illegal was found. The woman was trespassed from the park for exposing herself and warned that if she returned, she would be subject to an arrest.

If at first you don't repair, try, try again
7:43 p.m. 100 Block of North Orchard Street. Suspicious Incident. An officer was notified of a man doing repair work on equipment that he says had been struck by lightning earlier in the day. The man said he didn’t have any employer identification because he’d only been working with the auto business for a month.
The officer then contacted the employer, who said that they were unaware of a service call at that location, and if one had come in, the employee would have the proper identification. The man later said that, well, he actually didn't work for that specific company directly, but rather, another company.
The officer then made contact with Volusia County Radio Services and was informed that live video surveillance was monitoring the worker the whole time at the location, and that nothing suspicious was seen.
The officer was dispatched to the location again after another passerby observed the same vehicle. At about 10 p.m. both the man and the van were still there and the repairman told the officer he was on the phone attempting to get a part to complete the repair. He wasn’t sure how long he’d be working on the van, he added, but, if needed, he said it could be all night.
