8:14 p.m., 1200 block of Palm Harbor Parkway, Palm Coast
DUI, property damage. A woman entering a gas station struck the front end of a truck, causing around $5,000 in property damage, according to the arrest report.
The woman was suspected to have been drinking, so an officer was called for the potential DUI. The woman claimed the other car hit her, and, when asked, said she only had one beer two hours before the incident. The officer said in his report that she had a strong odor of alcohol coming from her.
The woman refused to perform any field sobriety tests, the report said, but eventually consented to a breath test — after the officer explained three times what implied consent was. On three tests, her BAC was .211, .176 and .125.
She was arrested and taken to jail.
8:06 p.m., intersection of Belle Terre and Whiteview Parkways
Resisting without violence, possession. A Palm Coast man was pulled over after he made a left turn from Whiteview Parkway into oncoming traffic from Belle Terre Parkway. An officer waiting at the light, immediately turned on his lights and U-turned, tailing the vehicle. The man pulled over after several hundred feet, confused. According to the arrest report, he was on his way to work and apparently had no idea he was driving into oncoming traffic, sending other vehicles off the road to avoid him.
The man, 26, was arrested — not for anything related to his traffic infraction that got him pulled over, but for possession of hashish oil in a vape pen and resisting the officer without violence.
