Larceny. Police responded to a local restaurant after a couple ordered $142 worth of food and drinks and left without paying.
According to a police report, the restaurant manager said that the man walked out the front door and around the building to a small U-Haul truck, pulled it up to the front, and that's when the woman left through the patio door, entering the truck as well. No one was aware they had dined and dashed until the waitress who had been serving them took notice.
The restaurant owner wished to press charges.

Petit theft. A 34-year-old Ormond Beach man was issued a notice to appear in court after he was caught stealing $468 worth of merchandise from a local supermarket.
A customer alerted store staff to the crime and an employee watched the man ride through the store in his wheelchair and conceal toys, clothes, shoes and other miscellaneous items in two tote bags, according to a police report. The man then exited the store and entered the parking lot, where he was confronted by the officer.
The man admitted to the theft and said he had the money to pay for the items, "but thought he could get away with it," the report states. The store wished to pursue charges. Because the man had no previous theft convictions, he was released at the scene and issued the notice to appear in court.
