Burglary. A 24-year-old Ormond Beach man was arrested after he broke into a car, poured tomato sauce all over himself and entered a resident's backyard.
According to the man's arrest report, the resident heard the man trying to enter through his back door. The resident, with a gun in his hand, exited through a different door to reach his backyard, where he questioned the man why he was in his backyard. The man asked him not to shoot and said "he had acid in his eyes" before running off.
The resident then went to his car, which was parked in his driveway, and discovered the man had taken tomato juice ad laundry detergent out of the back of the car and poured it all over himself. The man had left the empty tomato juice bottles in the driveway, and a nearly empty detergent bottle in his backyard, according to the police report.
The man's shirt was recovered with one of the bottles of tomato juice; his sandals were in the resident's garage. The car also had tomato juice on the driver's side and "there was a thick trail of detergent in the backyard leading into the garage," the report states.
The man also tried to take the resident's broken canoe into the channel connected to the home. Police found him soaked in water and covered in tomato juice and detergent.
He was taken to jail.
