7:41 p.m., first block of Red Barn Drive, Palm Coast
Towed vehicle.
Flagler County Sheriff's Office found a car partially obstructing a roadway. Since the car was unregistered and no one was on scene, deputies could not contact the owner and had the vehicle towed. Standard procedure.
Two days later, the car's owner called asking to speak to a supervisor. According to the report, the owner was "unhappy" that his unregistered vehicle was towed. The supervisor pointed out that since the owner wasn't with the car, deputies couldn't tell him to move it, and it was blocking the roadway. The owner even admitted it was in the roadway, the report said.
The owner then asked the supervisor to call the towing company to reduce the fees. He was told that that was not possible because the Sheriff’s Office is not involved in the fees. The owner apparently did not like that response: He swore at the supervisor and abruptly hung up.
7:22 a.m., near Reinhardt Lane, Palm Coast
Criminal mischief. A woman awoke to find a terrible surprise in the morning: Someone had put a cement brick through the passenger side of her C300 Mercedes Benz's windshield.
The luxury car also had damage to its hood and A-pillar.
A Flagler County Sheriff's Office deputy looked at home security system footage of the front yard.
In the video, just after midnight, a man wearing a black mask, black hoodie, blue jeans and boots walked up to the house carrying a cement brick. The man threw the brick at the Mercedes before getting back in his car and leaving.
There were no leads on who the suspect might be.
