Criminal Mischief. Someone pulled or knocked the lightening rods off a resort building roof and threw them into the pool and hot tub overnight.
The following morning, resort staff searched the roof and grounds and found multiple broken lightening rods, according to a Sheriff's Office report.
Someone had also emptied a fire extinguisher into a crawl space, and there were signs that someone had been climbing across the building's steep pitched roof.
Surveillance video footage showed the lightening rods falling into the pool. The damage was estimated at $5,000.
11:24 p.m. First block of Boston Lane.
DUI with property damage. Someone heard a car hit their mailbox, then looked outside and saw a red sedan stop outside the mailbox. A woman stumbled out of the car.
The resident tried to speak to the woman, but the woman was slurring her words and wasn't making much sense.
A deputy then spoke to the woman in the red car — who denied that she'd been drinking, but said she'd been driving around the neighborhood getting "goodies." The woman had two prior DUI citations.
She didn't smell of alcohol and passed a breath test, but failed other sobriety testing. A drug recognition expert was not available.
The woman was issued a DUI citation.
