Resisting an officer without violence. A 48-year-old Daytona Beach man complained of a previous arm injury while being detained by police.
The complaint gave him a chance to pull away and flee through a parking lot.
The man had spoken to deputies earlier that day regarding a burglary in unincorporated Volusia County, according to a police report. During the investigation, deputies discovered that the man had given them a false name. He was also wanted on other related charges.
As the man ran from local police, a bystander tackeld him to the ground. The man was taken to jail.

DUI. A 50-year-old Daytona Beach man tried to woo a police officer as the man was being investigated for drunk driving.
Police had received a call about a reckless driver in the area and found the car parked on a sidewalk.
As the reporting officer approached, he could hear music coming from the rolled-down windows. The man was still in the driver’s seat, and the car’s interior smelled of alcohol, according to a police report.
The man appeared to be asleep, but the keys were in the ignition, and the car was running.
When the man finally responded to the officer, the man’s speech was initially unintelligible, the officer noted in his report, but the man did admit to drinking alcohol.
He had to be helped out of the car by the officer, and when told to call someone to pick him up, the man started playing music on his phone instead.
The reporting officer soon discovered the man did not have a valid driver’s license.
Two officers arrived to help, and the man turned to the female officer said, “I would be the right man for you,” “You would love me” and “You’re my type.”
He was asked to complete a series of field sobriety exercises, which he didn’t pass.
After officers explained one of the exercises to the man for the third time, the man said, “I’m done. Arrest me,” according to the police report.
Police found five bottles of banana-flavored alcohol inside the car.
He was taken to jail.
