5:18 p.m. — Intersection of I-95 and State Road 40
Grand theft. While under observation at the police department following a vehicular crash caused by her drunk driving, a 35-year-old year old woman frequently screamed that it was time to go and that her father was going to castrate them.
Police arrested the woman after they responded to a crash, where the woman was found asleep behind the wheel of her vehicle. She only woke up when speaking with officers, according to the police report. Police started the field sobriety exercises, but because she was having issues standing without assistance, the officer determined it was unsafe to continue with them.
Her husband arrived at the scene and advised that he didn't recognize the vehicle she was in. He said he had received a call from his wife while she was shopping where she told him that she couldn't find her car. She sounded drunk, the husband said. She was eventually taken to jail.
Later, police found the car's owner, who said she dropped her keys while at the shopping center and that when she went back to the car to look for them, her vehicle was no longer there. She said she wished to press charges.
9:41 p.m. — 100 block of North Nova Road
DUI. A 52-year-old homeless man was arrested for drunk driving, and while he was being transported to the station, he told police that "there could be someone getting killed right down the street, but you're arresting a drunk."
Police pulled the man over and noticed he was "mildly sluggish, but cooperative and friendly," according to the police report. The officer could smell the scent of alcohol coming from his breath and when he tried to speak with the man, the man would become distracted and stop looking for documents requested by the officer.
The man completed the field sobriety exercises, and though he failed several, insisted that he had passed and that he had committed a "victimless crime."
He was taken to jail.
2:03 p.m. — Intersection of Ocean Shore Boulevard and Rivocean Drive
Attempting to elude law enforcement. A police officer was diverting traffic due to a nearby drowning call when a vehicle almost hit his patrol car. The car then appeared to try to drive around the officer's car, and the officer attempted to stop him by smacking the front passenger windshield area.
The driver then fled the area, ignoring other officers' request to stop, according to his arrest report. The officer later tracked him down and detained him.
The officer asked the driver, a 63-year-old Ormond Beach man, why he didn't stop when he was advised to do so, and the driver said his foot slipped off the brake and that's why he almost hit the officer. Afterward, he said he was too scared to stop, and claimed he didn't hear the other officers' requests.
He was taken to jail.
