8:22 p.m. — Intersection of Lincoln Avenue and North Yonge Street, Ormond Beach
Possession of fentanyl. An officer was driving southbound on North Yonge Street when a pedestrian stepped directly into the path of his patrol vehicle. The officer was able to brake in time to avoid hitting him, and as the pedestrian — a 24-year-old DeLand man — was not in a marked crosswalk, the officer asked him to approach him.
According to a police report, the officer explained to the man that he could have hit him with his patrol vehicle, and the man apologized. The officer wrote him a warning for the pedestrian violation.
The officer then discovered that the man had been previously arrested on narcotics charges. The officer asked him if he had anything illegal in his backpack, and the man admitted to having narcotic paraphernalia. The officer asked what it was, and the man said he just wanted to go home, the report states.
The officer searched his backpack and found less than a gram of fentanyl, as well as syringes and other drug paraphernalia. The man said the fentanyl was not his.
He was arrested and taken to jail.
