10:52 a.m. Palm Coast Parkway at Interstate 95.
Stolen tag. Deputies were dispatched to the area around the Palm Coast Parkway I-95 interchange looking for a tag that had been reported stolen from an out-of-area car dealership.
A deputy found the tag on a pickup truck behind a fast food restaurant. The surprised driver told the deputy that he worked at the dealership and was also in the process of buying the car.
It turned out there'd been a mix-up: The dealership had noted during an inventory that the tag was gone, and the person doing the inventory was unaware that the employee was using the car. A manager confirmed that he'd been authorized to take it.
2:25 p.m. First block of Westgale Place.
Suspicious incident. A woman whose home abuts a golf course property was walking through the portion of the course near her yard, thinking she was alone, when she sneezed.
To her surprise, someone replied, "Are you OK?" She saw a group of teenage boys nearby, and asked them what they were doing.
One of them said, "None of your business." The boys then left, and the woman called the Sheriff's Office.
Deputies found the teens nearby on a back lanai. Some eventually admitted said they'd been on the golf course "hanging out."
Deputies turned the kids over to their parents and forwarded loitering charges to the State Attorneys Office for two of the them.
9:27 p.m. 6600 block of Tangerine Avenue, Bunnell.
Domestic disturbance. A man who was out on bond for charges of criminal mischief and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon called the Sheriff's Office, saying his girlfriend had attacked him.
When deputies arrived and asked him what happened, he pointed to his bare chest and said, "We’ll find out if you can do your job or not.” Then he said his girlfriend had scratched him.
A deputy saw "a very small area of broken skin" on his chest, and noted that it "didn’t resemble any scratch mark consistent with fingernails," according to the deputy's report.
The girlfriend said she hadn't scratched the man.
As a condition of his bond, the man was required not to consume alcohol. Deputies noted that he smelled of alcohol and that his eyes were bloodshot. He refused to provide a breath sample.
Deputies found no probable cause that a crime had occurred.
