Also: Funny names and a different kind of pot trouble
Drug seller chooses wrong customers
1:43 a.m. — 200 Block of Ormond Parkway
Possession with intent to sell
Assigned to a plain clothes detail, two officers were flagged down by a girl on a bicycle. Approaching the car, she said, “Do you like to party?” One of the officers said, “Yeah I like to party, what you got?”
She said she had “Zannies,” which is street talk for Xanax.
She produced the pills in her hand, and the officer shined a flashlight on them. She appeared nervous when she saw the flashlight.
When they identified themselves as police, she crushed several of the pills in her hand. During a post-Miranda interview, she became lethargic and incoherent. She said she started out with 48 Xanax pills and had consumed most of them.
EVAC was called and officers planned to transport her to jail after she was cleared at the hospital.

Giving a funny name
2:40 a.m. — 100 Block of East Granada Boulevard
Operating with Suspended Driver’s License and obstructing officer by disguise
An officer saw a car go by and could hear a female screaming. The officer followed as it went by a hospital and he could hear the woman screaming.
The officer stopped the car and the driver said he had no ID because his wallet was stolen. The female passenger did not have an ID either.
Asked why she was screaming, she said it was because he wanted her to go to the hospital for her chest cold, and she didn’t want to go. She said they drove by it because it was closed, and the officer told them it was a 24-hour hospital.
The driver spelled his name for the officer and the passenger laughed. Asked why she laughed, she said she never knew his name was spelled that weird.
The driver later gave a different spelling of his name and the officer was able to find that his driver’s license had been suspended for failure to pay traffic fines.
The driver was transported to Volusia County Jail.

Pot pilfering
6:50 p.m. — First Block of Forest View Way
Vandalism.
The victim said that this morning pots with plants were sitting on the two pillars at the beginning of his driveway. When he returned home at 5:57 p.m., one of the pots was missing. A person who had been home said a suspicious white pickup truck came slowly down the street that day. When he stepped outside, the truck sped off.
The value of the pot is $20 and the value of the plant is $5.

More pot problems
7:23 p.m. — First Block of Forest View Way
Theft.
The victim, next door to the house in the previous incident, has a planter pot on the top of each pillar at the beginning of his circular driveway. They are terracotta and about one-foot tall. When he went outside this morning at 6 a.m. to get the newspaper, he saw one of the planters on the ground and the other one broken in pieces. They had been there 15 years without incident, so he believes someone pushed them to the ground.
The estimated planter value is $50.
