6 p.m. First block of Florida Park Drive
Arson. A deputy responded to a complaint that someone lit a picnic table on fire at a local park. On his way to the park, the deputy passed a 20-year-old man who fit the description of the suspect.
The deputy stopped the man, who denied lighting the fire and said he'd just been smoking a cigarette at the park pavilion.
But the park's surveillance footage showed otherwise, revealing that the man sat at the table trying to get it to light, then walked away after a flame caught. The deputy arrested him.
12:32 p.m. 1200 block of State Road A1A
Driving on a suspended license, open container. A deputy was driving south on S.R. A1A when a car passed him heading in the other direction at a high rate of speed.
The deputy pulled over the car, and noticed the driver fidgeting as the deputy approached.
The male driver admitted that he didn't have a driver's license.
When the deputy checked the car, there was a cooler in the back seat containing opened beers, including a still-cold one in a beer cozy. The deputy arrested the man.
