Commercial burglary. A commercial storage property owner noticed that the lock on a cargo container storage box — which had been full of fireworks — was wide open, with rain streaming in and wetting the fireworks.
The fireworks' owner arrived at the site with a deputy, who noted that a thief had cut the latch on the box with a power tool.
The thief had stolen 684 fireworks artillery shells of various kinds, for a total value of $18,600.

Possession of methamphetamines, carrying a concealed firearm. A deputy on road patrol saw a car going 82 mph in a 60-mph zone. The deputy stopped the car and walked up to the window, and the driver said that his license was suspended and he was going to jail.
A second deputy noticed that the driver was sitting at an awkward angle. Deputies found that he was trying to conceal a handgun. Deputies asked him why it was under his seat. He said he "guessed he forgot."
The man did not have a concealed weapons permit. Deputies also found meth in the car. Deputies arrested the driver.
