Information. A vintage luxury item reseller's merchandise — valued at over $91,000 — was sent to the wrong address. Where did it go?
According to a police report, the reseller, who now resides in Port Orange, had her business partner mail her four purses, but they were accidentally sent to her former Ormond Beach address. The delivery took place, with the reseller receiving a photo of the items at the home's doorstep. She sent her parents to pick up the package, but the current homeowners said they had never received, nor seen, the package.
Police then met with the homeowners, who consented to police searching their vehicle and home for the purses. They were not found, nor did police find ay packaging material that would indicate the purses had been in the home.
The next day, the homeowners contacted police: The purses had been found.
The police reports state that the packages were removed from their porch by one of their children, believing it to be an unpacked box from their recent move. The original packaging, the homeowner said ,was being colored on and was found underneath one of their couch. The purses, untouched, were in a box within a pile in their garage. No charges were filed.

Suspicious incident. Police responded to a local assisted living facility after one of its directors received a threatening text message from one of the residents' son, a 64-year-old Ponce Inlet man.
A staff member showed police a screenshot of the message, which was "difficult to decipher," according to a police report. But, the message stated that he was displeased with the facility and that if his mother's condition had not improved by the following day, he would seek legal action.
The text message also included a "garbled and unclear" statement that implied the man would do something that "made the Trump assassination look like nothing," according to the police report. Police spoke with the victim, who wished to pursue charges.
Ponce Inlet Police made contact with the ma, and found him to be "highly intoxicated but cooperative." Officers met with both parties, during which the man said he was very unhappy with the level of care his mother is receiving at the facility. When asked about the statements in the text message, the man said the reference to the Trump assassination attempt was "intended to be an analogy as to how helpless his mother is in the facility, similar to 'how helpless Trump was on that stage,'" according to the police report. He said the message was garbled because he had been using talk-to-text and had been drinking.
Police determined there was not probable cause for any criminal charges, but placed extra patrols at the facility the following day.
