Stolen vehicle. A 69-year-old Ormond Beach man notified police that his car had been missing for about a week.
He said the had lent it to a man for a couple hours, and that initially the suspect did return with his car, but advised the victim before leaving again that he would be right back with it. He never came back.
The victim told police he attempted to call the suspect multiple times but it always went to voicemail. A few days later, he received a call from the suspect's girlfriend, who said the suspect was out of town. Police worked to identify the suspect and came up with a man who fit the victim's description, but when they showed it to him, the victim said he wasn't sure if that was him. "I'm not good with faces," he told police. The reporting officer asked if he would recognize the suspect if he saw him again, and the man said, "maybe," according to the incident report.
He wished to press charges.

Loitering. Police responded to a local neighborhood after officers were notified of a man and woman knocking on doors asking for jumper cables.
According to the incident report, upon the reporting officer's arrival, he spotted the couple by their vehicle with the hood up. The man took off running once he spotted police, running behind a nearby apartment complex. He was unable to be found after that.
The woman, 19, told police that she wasn't sure why the man ran. She only knew his first name, and said they had been sitting together in the car when the battery died. A teenage girl was also inside the car, and she told officers she was with the woman and said she didn't know the man either.
The two were driven home by the girl's guardian. The woman told police she would come back later to get her car.
