4:37 a.m. First block of Woodward Lane.
Shooting. A man woke from sleep, thinking he heard a noise, and grabbed the gun from his nightstand. He thought he saw someone standing in his bedroom, and fired a shot at the intruder — shattering the bedroom mirror. Then he realized there was no intruder: He'd been seeing his reflection. The handgun, which belonged to his mother, was surrendered to deputies.
11:24 p.m. 500 block of South Daytona Ave.
Domestic battery, resisting arrest, assault on a law enforcement officer. Deputies went to a man's home to question him about an alleged domestic violence incident. He refused to open the door, told them to go away, and then threatened to shoot one of them. Deputies signed charges against him for resisting arrest and assaulting an officer in addition to the original domestic violence charge, and he was arrested the next day by Flagler Beach police officers.
9:30 p.m. 2500 block of Moody Boulevard.
Narcotics. Deputies responding to a license plate reader alert about a stolen tag stopped the car with the tag, detaining a man and a woman. The woman said that the tag on her new car had been stolen, and she'd reported it as stolen to the Volusia County Sheriff's Office. But then the dealership she'd bought the car from gave her an exact copy of the original dealer tag as a replacement, so she'd used it.
The VCSO had warned her that law enforcement might pull her over because the number on the new tag was the same as the one she'd reported stolen.
Deputies found that the woman was, in fact, telling the truth.
But there was another problem: The man, when deputies asked him if there was anything in the car they should know about, admitted to having marijuana. Deputies searched the car and found drug paraphernalia, meth and heroin in various parts of the car, including a compartment the woman had been using to store her driver's license. Deputies arrested the woman and the man.
