A friend in need
9:28 a.m. — South State Street and Highway U.S. 1, Bunnell
Marijuana possession. A man pulled over for the tint of his car's windows was arrested on marijuana possession charges after trying to hide two bags of marijuana in his pants.
The marijuana actually belonged to the man's friend, who was in the car's passenger seat. When a Sheriff's Office deputy signaled for the driver to pull over, the passenger "panicked" and tossed the driver two 5-7-gram bags of marijuana to hold, according to an arrest report.
The driver immediately stuffed the bags down his pants, the report said. When the deputy pulled both me out of the car because he smelled marijuana from a visible, burning blunt, the passenger told the deputy about the two bags his friend was holding for him.
He tried to claim all the marijuana, the report said, but both men were still charged with possession.
Gassed up
3:03 p.m. — Boulder Rock Drive, Flagler County
Petit theft, drug possession. A South Carolina man with a history of theft charges was arrested after he told a Sheriff's Office deputy to search his pickup truck while the suspect continued to pump gas.
The deputy had pulled into a gas station behind the suspect after a run of the truck's plates came up as stolen, according to an arrest report. The suspect told the deputy he could find the registration and title to the car in the glove compartment and gave the deputy permission to search while the suspect pumped gas.
The deputy found no paperwork in the glove compartment and the suspect did not have a license on him, just a Georgia state ID.
As the suspect was placed under arrest, he told the deputy he had two glass pipes in his pocket, each with burn residue from CBD, the report said.
