11:27 p.m. — 1200 block of Scottsdale Drive, Ormond Beach
Resisting officer without violence. A 39-year-old Ormond Beach man was arrested after causing a disturbance in his neighborhood while drunk.
Upon arriving, police report the man told them he had drunk "three, four or five shots" hours before, but was unable to stand straight, had glassy eyes and slurred speech, according to his arrest report. He became argumentative when officers asked if there was someone who could take care of him until the alcohol was out of his system.
The man told them he would not be leaving his house, nor would he be going to jail. Police responded that they just wanted him to call a trusted adult, and that they would leave once the person arrived.
Because the man was not willing to call anyone, officers decided to take him into custody under the Marchman Act, at which point the man resisted. As they walked him to the patrol car, the man began to yell racial slurs and profanity at the officers.
He was taken to jail.
