5:32 p.m. — 700 block of Lindenwood Circle, Ormond Beach
Vandalism. An Ormond Beach resident called police after she found a chunk of cement in her driveway — and a dent in her garage door.
The woman told police that she noticed the cement chunk and the dent around noon and later left to go shopping, according to a police report.
When she returned home, she spotted a rock in her driveway and yet another dent in her garage door.
She suspected the culprit was one of the neighborhood kids, but didn’t have any more information.
She told police she wanted the incident documented for insurance purposes and in case other neighbors experienced something similar.
9:29 a.m. — 500 block of Collins Street, Ormond Beach
Larceny. A landlord who recently evicted tenants arrived to her property to find it vandalized.
The woman told police that she had been checking the home when she noticed the damage, according to a police report.
An officer noted that several walls of the home had been spray-painted with explicit and name-calling language and drawings directed toward the landlord.
Multiple light fixtures and electrical wall fixtures were damaged or removed, and there were holes throughout the home.
The officer noted in his report that a thief took several mounted air conditioning units, causing damage estimated to total over $1,000.
The landlord suspected that her previous tenants were the culprits and wanted to press charges if they didn’t repair all of the damage and return the missing property.
8:41 p.m. — Intersection of Ridgewood Avenue and Aragon Street, Ormond Beach
Driving while license revoked. A 55-year-old Ormond Beach man was arrested after deputies saw him driving a motor scooter without registration plates.
The man and his wife were both driving scooters southbound on Ridgewood Avenue when a deputy pulled them over, according to a police report.
The man said that the scooters were actually “electric bicycles” that didn’t require registration, but that the couple had removed the pedals because the bikes were hard to ride with the pedals attached.
The deputy told them that, based on state statutes, the couple could not modify the e-bikes without the bikes being reclassified as motor scooters.
When the deputy asked for their driver’s licenses, both of them admitted their licenses were suspended. Because the man was a habitual traffic offender, the deputy took him to jail. His wife received a verbal warning.
