3:39 a.m. — 300 block of Palm Coast Parkway, Palm Coast
Marijuana, cocaine and drug paraphernalia possession. A man was left stranded at European Village after his friends left him there while he retrieved his belongings from his ex-girlfriend’s house.
After waiting nine hours for his three friends to return, only to find out that they were stranded at a gas station, the man called Sheriff’s Office deputies to ask for a ride to the gas station, according to an arrest report. A deputy agreed to give the man a lift to the gas station.
When they arrived there, his three friends were inside the car, one of whom was passed out behind the while. The deputy went to conduct a well-fare check on the driver after the friends could not wake him immediately, only to find a glass pipe with brown residue inside the door, the report said.
With the driver okay, all three friends were asked to step out of the car and were searched and two of the three had drug paraphernalia, marijuana and cocaine on their person. The two friends were arrested and taken to the county jail.
10:30 p.m. — Intersection of Palm Coast Parkway and Boulder Rock Drive, Palm Coast
DUI. A Palm Coast man on a motorcycle had only just left a bar when a Sheriff’s Office deputy pulled him over for failing to stop before pulling onto the roadway.
As the deputy talked to the driver, he found that not only did the man have a suspended license, but the man also smelled of alcohol and had bloodshot eyes and a flushed face, according to the arrest report. The man told the deputy he’d only had three beers at the bar.
His breath test said otherwise: the man twice blew a blood alcohol level of over .16, twice the legal drinking limit. The man was placed under arrest and taken to the county jail.
