Why sit in a barber's chair when you can black out in a barber's chair?; two red-light-runners flee from the cops, who tell their parents on them; egg-chuckers unite; and, a 'sign' of relief.

Wasted away again?
7:26 p.m. — 1900 Block of West Granada Boulevard. Disturbance. The stylist said the suspect and her mother came into the salon, and while the suspect was in the chair, the mother went next door to get margaritas and bring them to the suspect. They were there long enough to get intoxicated and, toward the end of the cut, the suspect started nodding off. The stylist said he could no longer cut her hair because she could not stay awake.
The stylist said both women got upset and started arguing with him, until he called police. But he didn't want the customers banned from the shop — just for them to have a safe ride home. A friend responded and picked them up.

'Never get me, copper! ... Oh, you got me.'
11:01 p.m. — 1 Block of West Granada Boulevard. Fleeing Vehicle. A police officer saw a light-colored truck run a red light on Granada Boulevard, so the officer activated his emergency lights. That's when a dark-colored truck also ran the light. The officer pulled behind the second truck with his lights activated, but the truck opted to stay the course, same speed, over the Halifax River Bridge. The officer then tried to stop the light truck, which also continued to speed down the bridge, and then turned right onto South Halifax Drive.
After getting the address of the truck by running its tag number, the officer later visited the home of the suspect, whose parents answered the door and offered to wake the suspect up. The officer asked the suspect if he knew why he was there, and the suspect said, “Because I didn’t stop.” The suspect then gave the name of the driver of the dark truck, whose dad was on scene and had his son come over.
The second suspect said he saw the lights but did not stop because of a disturbance at his home with some relatives. Both suspects were placed under arrest and transported to Volusia County Branch Jail.

An egg-citing drive
8:28 p.m. — N. Nova Road at Main Trail. Information. The victim exited The Trails and headed west, travelling about 100 feet before the right side of her van was pelted with at least two eggs.
She believed the egg-chuckers had to be standing in the wooded area of Nova Community Park.
The victim expressed a desire to have the incident documented and a complaint lodged to the city, to ensure that no future egg-chuckers could hide away in such thickly wooded brush.

Signs of the times
10:08 a.m. — South Center and Fleming Avenue. Vandalism. Three traffic signs had been pushed over, and the investigating officer reported that it looked like they were pushed over by a vehicle. The signs were still intact and there was no significant damage to the poles. The signs included a Stop sign, a speed-limit sign and a Do Not Pass sign. The officer called the Road and Bridge Department.
