DUI. A 70-year-old Daytona Beach woman was charged with driving under the influence after police report she caused a three-car crash, which she said occurred because she got distracted as she tried to eat a pizza while driving.
There was a large pizza in the front passenger seat area "that was obviously disturbed in relation to the crash," the report details. The woman first struck a parked vehicle in the city roadway, and the second vehicle was impacted enough to strike the third vehicle parked in front of it.
The woman had a large bruise on her forehead, but police noted she seemed unaware of this injury. As she appeared confused, the reporting officer asked her a few questions, to which the woman gave the wrong reply. One of the questions asked was about who the president was, whom the woman replied was "Mr. Bush."
She was asked to complete a series of field sobriety exercises, which she failed. Police asked her if she had been taking any medications, and the woman provided the reporting officer with a list. Out of her concern, the report states, the woman was transported to the hospital.

Trespassing. Police arrested a 29-year-old transient man who was "acting erratically" in a local park, according to his arrest report.
When the reporting officer arrived on the scene, a city park services employee told him he was concerned the man was under the influence of narcotics.
The officer approached the man, and while speaking with him, the man began singing. He did, however, pay attention to the officer and respond when he was asked questions.
Seeing as the man had a previous trespass warning for the park, he was taken to jail.

Larceny. Four teenagers were issued a trespass warning from a local fast food restaurant after they stole a box of ice cream from their cake case.
Police found the four teens, plus two others, at a nearby park, and they eventually admitted to taking the ice cream, which they had already consumed by the time officers arrived.
Their parents were contacted. The fast food restaurant owner did not want to pursue charges, but did want the teens trespassed.
