Petit theft. A daughter, mother and grandmother tried to steal $380 of alcohol and cosmetics.
The three females — two adult women aged 54 and 76 and a young girl — were caught by the department store's loss prevention officer when the officer saw the daughter place cosmetics into her backpack, according to a press release. The girl tried to leave the store and was detained.
When her backpack was searched, the officer found the cosmetics and wine and champagne bottles. Security footage showed the girl's mother and grandmother had placed the bottles in the girl's backpack, while they hid more alochol in their own bags, the press release said.

A friend indeed
11:01 p.m. —first block of Beacon Mill Lane, Palm Coast
Battery. A Palm Coast man hit his friend who he was staying with because that friend threatened to withhold alcohol and cigarettes from him.
The suspect was sitting and talking to his friend, a woman, on her back porch when the two began to argue over money, according to his arrest report. The woman told the man he was going to have to move out of the home because he would not find a job.
During the argument, she said she would not be giving the suspect anymore alcohol or cigarettes, either, enraging the man. He attempted to take a lit cigarette from the woman's hand and then, when he failed to take it, he punched the woman in the nose, the report said.
Later, when talking to Sheriff's Office deputies, the man admitted to hitting the woman. He said he was glad he had punched her because "someone needed to do it." The suspect was arrested and taken to the county jail.
