Unwanted visitor

Burglary. A 70-year-old Ormond Beach woman woke up to an unexpected sight: An unknown man was standing inside her room, holding her vacuum. 

The woman yelled at the man to get out three times before he acknowledged her, saying he was inside the room because it was left open and he wanted to see what was inside, according to the police incident report. The woman asked him to leave, and this time he complied, putting the vacuum back on the floor.

The woman explained to police that her door had been left propped open with a dolly due to the lack of air conditioning in the room. She wished to press charges.

Undercover operation

Alcohol violation. Police issued a notice to appear in court to a 44-year-old local gas station clerk after he sold alcohol to a minor.

A 14-year-old teen, who was working as an operative with the local police department, grabbed a can of beer from a cooler and brought it to the front of the store to buy. The clerk asked to see his ID, and the teen placed it on the counter. The clerk never inspected it, according to the police incident report, and continued with the sale. 

The teen then turned the beer over to an undercover police detective who was waiting outside. The detective confronted the clerk and placed him under arrest. The clerk said that he chose an option on the register during the sale which allowed him to bypass manually entering the client's date of birth.

He was released on the scene.
