Idle hands
8:30 a.m. — 100 block of Bud Hollow Drive, Palm Coast
Criminal mischief. A 13-year-old boy was arrested for felony criminal mischief July 12 after he clogged the toilets of an under-construction home and flooded it, causing $25,000 in damage, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff's Office deputies responded to the home in Palm Coast's B-section when a property controller reported the damage.
The building was filled with about an inch of water, according to a press release from the Sheriff's Office.
Deputies identified the boy, who lives on a street near the vandalized home, through an anonymous tip, the press release said.
When they interviewed him, the boy admitted that he had flooded the toilets because he was bored.
He is charged with felony criminal mischief, burglary of an unoccupied dwelling and trespassing on a construction site.
Banking on repo
4:58 p.m. — intersection of U.S. 1 and County Road 200, Flagler County
Assist other agency. Sheriff's Office deputies pulled over a tow truck on U.S. 1 near the Ormond Beach Interstate 95 intersection after a license plate reader flagged the towed car's tag as stolen.
The tow truck driver told deputies that the bank was repossessing the towed Subaru, which had heavy front-end damage. He said he'd picked up the car from a tow yard.
The Subaru had actually been involved in a crash in Flagler County on June 7. The occupants fled the crash, and the car was towed. It was reported as stolen later on June 7, after it was impounded.
The deputies allowed the tow truck driver to leave with the car.
