8:50 p.m. — 500 block of West Granada Boulevard, Ormond Beach
Disorderly intoxication. A 43-year-old Daytona Beach man shouted to restaurant patrons not to give servers a tip while he was being arrested for disorderly conduct at a local Mexican restaurant.
Police received a call from employees reporting that the man was intoxicated and screaming at staff and other people. When the reporting officer arrived on scene, he saw the man at the outside bar, where he was displaying "obvious indicators of intoxication" and bragging about spending a lot of money on various liquor shots, according to his arrest report. Initially, he was cooperative with police, but once he learned that restaurant staff wanted him removed, he started shouting obscenities.
When police asked him to calm down and lower his voice, the man used profane language at the officer in his refusal.
He was taken to jail.
12 p.m. — First block of Cypress Circle, Ormond Beach
Burglary of an occupied dwelling. Police arrested a 64-year-old Ormond Beach woman who stole her neighbor's air conditioner unit circuit breaker and threatened his son with a hammer.
The neighbor contacted police after his 21-year-old son saw the woman loitering around their home with a hammer. The son told police that he was awoken around noon to the sound of "metal banging against metal" somewhere outside his house, according to the police report, and when he went to investigate, he saw the woman leaving his backyard.
The son confronted the woman, who alleged she was from FEMA. The son was "bewildered with the situation" and asked her to leave, at which point he alleged the woman told him she would "cut" him and "get" him, the report states. He armed himself with a brick — seeing as she had a hammer — and threw it in her direction. The woman then left, but not before striking the right headlight of his car, resulting in a minor scuff.
The son called his father, who reviewed the security footage, which also showed the woman loitering near a circuit panel. When he went outside, he found a missing circuit breaker for his air conditioning unit.
Police note in the report that other neighbors in the past few days have called police to notify them about the woman's erratic behavior, which has included burglary, theft and vandalism.
She was taken to jail.
