Fast food and furious

2:38 p.m. — the 400 block of Palm Coast Parkway southwest, Palm Coast

Battery. A man was arrested after throwing food and yelling at employees at a local fast food restaurant.

The restaurant manager told Sheriff’s Office deputies she told a male and female couple to leave the building after they began yelling at one of her 16-year-old employees, according to an arrest report. The couple then began taking their anger out on the manager, where the female suspect continued yelling at the manager and the male suspect threw an entire tray of food at her.

The tray hit the wall and sprayed food all over the manager. Surveillance video showed the couple got angry in the first place over the card machine not working, the report said.

The couple drove off, but the surveillance footage recorded the license off of the gray Tesla they were driving, and deputies were able to track the suspects down to their home in Palm Coast.

Target practice

11 a.m. — County Road 305, Bunnell

Culpable negligence. A couple in Bunnell could be facing criminal charges after their target practice left a neighbor’s car damaged and almost injured two deputies.

A resident on County Road 305 heard gunfire coming from a neighbors home, and Sheriff’s Office deputies arrived at the home to find the car had five bullet holes in it plus shattered windows, according to a press release. The neighbor’s garage door also had several bullet holes.

The deputies began to investigate only to have to duck for cover as more gunfire started, coming from the woods between two homes, hitting trees near where the deputies stood.

After narrowing down the home, deputies confronted the suspects, who were shooting their revolver in the backyard. The rounds were going through the “target” — a wood pile — into the woods between the properties. In fact, the wood pile did not have any new bullet holes, but deputies found plenty of bullet holes in the surrounding trees.

No one was injured during the suspects’ target practice.
