12 p.m. — 100 block of Sagebrush Trail, Ormond Beach
Battery on a law enforcement officer. Police arrested a 45-year-old Ormond Beach man who spit on an officer after being detained for trespassing at a local medical office.
The man had been yelling and swearing at customers and staff, according to a police report.
When approached by police, the man began acting strangely, the report notes, and asked the reporting officer if he knew Freddy Krueger — the fictional villain from the 1984 horror movie "A Nightmare on Elm Street."
The man began to approach the officer, who ordered him to stop and drew his taser when the man failed to do so.
The man then asked the officer for his name and engaged in "short standoff" with him and two other officers who arrived. The man demanded money from the officers.
He was placed into handcuffs, and, while he complied, he continued insulting the officers, mumbling under his breath and asking them off-topic questions, according to his arrest report.
The man spit on one officer's face when the officer was trying to buckle the man's seatbelt.
He was taken to jail.
