2:41 a.m. — First block of Old Kings Road, Palm Coast
Possession of methamphetamine, marijuana. Deputies arrested a 28-year-old Miami man who was seen sleeping in his car in the parking lot of a local fast food restaurant.
The deputy reports he spotted a rolled marijuana cigarette container in the center console, at which point he woke the man up. The man said he was on his way to New Jersey to visit family, and that he'd stopped in Palm Coast to rest. He told the deputy that the container was for medical marijuana, but he wasn't carrying his medical marijuana card.
While conducting a search in the vehicle, the deputy also found two plastic bags containing methamphetamine inside two chocolate candy containers, according to the report.
The man said the meth, which he referred to as "product," was left in his car by other people; he said he worked as an Uber driver. When asked why he didn't get rid of it or contact law enforcement, the man said "honestly I was hoping to see if I could just sell it off in the streets to make a couple extra bucks."
Police found 1.26 grams of meth and 6 grams of marijuana in his car.
He was taken to jail.

Battery. A 24-year-old Bunnell woman was arrested after she struck someone at a local dollar store.
According a report by the Sheriff's Office, the victim told police that she saw the woman putting items inside a red shopping bag while walking around the store. When the victim approached the woman, she began to walk toward the front door, at which point the victim grabbed the red bag.
The pair pulled the bag back and forth, and then the woman swung at the victim, hitting her in the right shoulder. The victim then took a step back, and the woman "lunged at her attempting to bite her," according to the arrest report. She then left.
The victim was able to grab the bag and empty the contents near the register. She wished to pursue charges.
The woman was found in the 300 block of North Church Street. She was arrested.

DUI. "I cannot walk a straight line even if I was sober."
That's what a 43-year-old Palm Coast woman told troopers when she was pulled over for speeding. According to a report, the woman was going 56 mph on a 45 mph zone, and once stopped, she apologized and said she "caught speed coming over there."
The woman said she was coming from her bartending job, and the reporting trooper noticed her eyes were bloodshot and that she smelled like alcohol. When asked how much she had to drink, the woman said she had two White Claws. She agreed to perform the field sobriety exercises, but warned the trooper she couldn't walk in a straight line even when sober.
After the exercises, the trooper determined she was indeed impaired. She was arrested and taken to jail.
