Suspicious incident. A simple hair cut turned frightening for a supermarket hairdresser as her client began to ask her about "escape" plans, should he come into the store with a gun.
The hairdresser told police that the man, whose identity is unknown, came inside the hair salon and she received him as a customer. She asked him to write his name on the sign-in sheet, and the man told her "I can't do that. I'm wanted by police," according to the incident report. Thinking this was a joke, she still proceeded with the haircut.
When she asked him what style he wanted, the man said, "Any cut that won't get me fired," and started to tell her about how he hated his boss, and was "grateful" he just had a heart attack. He then shifted the conversation to a recent shooting in Texas, and asked the hairdresser what she thought, according to the report. The hairdresser became nervous, and the man said he was "just wondering, if I came in here with my AK-47."
She hurried to finish his haircut and reported the incident to police when he left the salon. She provided police with a hair sample, and police are continuing to investigate this incident.

Petit theft. A 20-year-old Ormond Beach man was arrested for stealing a pair of underwear from a local retail store, telling police that he needed some, but didn't consider himself a thief.
The man said that he ripped the tag from the underwear and concealed the clothing in his pants. He didn't come into the store with the intention to steal, he told police according to his arrest report. "I'm not really a thief and I don't from people and store like that," the man told the reporting officer. "I just made a bad decision. I plan to move on and get a job so I don't have to steal."
The man was accompanied by a 24-year-old woman, who also stole clothing from the store. She repeated his words to police, saying they made a "dumb mistake." In total, the store reported the stolen clothing cost $220. The man was taken to jail, and the woman was issued a notice to appear in court.
