Going fishing
12:51 p.m. — 1800 block of Checkered Flag Lane, Daytona Beach
Petit theft. An Ormond Beach couple were arrested after they were caught attempting to steal three fishing reels from a sports store in Daytona Beach.
A store employee recognized the man and woman and immediately called police. The couple walked into the store, went to the second level and headed straight to the fishing aisle, where the man removed pliers from his pocket, an arrest report said.
The man cut security tags from three fishing poles and reels, placing them in the woman’s purse.
The two then headed straight for the store’s exit.
Local police officers arrived at the store just in time to stop the two from leaving and found the three fishing reels in the woman’s purse. In total, the reels were valued at $623.85.
The couple were placed under arrest and charged with petit theft.
No more running
9:46 p.m. — Intersection of Nova Road and Wilmette Avenue, Ormond Beach
Fugitive from justice. A Daytona Beach transient man turned himself into police officers after two months with an active warrant.
But he did not turn himself into a police station, according to an arrest report.
Instead, a police officer on patrol was flagged down by the suspect. When the officer pulled over, the suspect told him he had a warrant out of Volusia County and wanted to turn himself in.
The officer looked the man up and found he had an open warrant with a nationwide extradition. The suspect was wanted for several drug possession, sale and manufacturing charges, the report said.
The officer placed the man under arrest and took him to the county jail.
