Once upon a mattress
8:03 a.m. — 10 0 Block of Pine Cone Trail
Suspicious Incident. The victim bought a mattress online and the seller said he would deliver it. A male wearing sandals and described as wearing “dirty looking” clothing showed up in a pickup truck with a mattress, which was double wrapped in plastic and appeared to be new. The delivery person said it was wrapped that way because of the humidity. He said he could not bring the mattress inside because of liability reasons.
The victim paid $250 for the mattress and the male drove off. When she cut open the plastic, she saw that the mattress was old, wet and used. The victim has been unable to speak with the seller of the mattress.

Nervous driver
6:31 p.m. —400 Block of South Yonge Street
Attempting to elude with lights and sirens active. An officer saw a fugitive with an active felony warrant pass by in the passenger seat of a car. He recognized him from previous encounters. The officer tried to pull the car over but the driver ignored the siren and light, increased speed and weaved in and out of traffic.
The officer broke off the chase, but the suspect vehicle was later stopped on a dead end street by a Holly Hill policeman.
Asked why he fled, the driver said that police make him nervous. Also, he didn’t want the suspect to get arrested.
The driver was arrested for fleeing and the suspect on the outstanding warrant. A third passenger in the back seat was released.

Skinny driving
8:49 p.m. — Clyde Morris Boulevard and West Granada Boulevard
Battery on an officer, DUI. A caller reported that a car, operated by a naked female, was driving around the neighborhood and had stopped at one point with the driver standing naked outside the vehicle. The officers found the car sitting in the Clyde Morris and West Granada intersection very close to the sidewalk. The driver had no pants on, but officers found pants in the car and were able to assist her in getting dressed. There was a strong smell of alcohol on her breath.
The suspect said she did not understand why she was stopped. She would not answer questions and when asked to get out of the car, asked, “Why.” Finally, the suspect complied and had to be escorted to the sidewalk because she kept walking sideways into the roadway.
She said she had not consumed any alcoholic beverages and would not take part in sobriety exercises. At one point, the suspect hit an officer with a closed fist and a scuffle ensued. The report noted that the officers’ uniforms and equipment were in “disarray” from the fight. Three officers were able to place her into a patrol car, where she yelled profanities and kicked the seat.
She refused a breath test. The investigation showed she had been arrested multiple times for DUI and had previously refused a breath test. She was transported to the county jail.
