Disorderly intoxication. Police arrested a 61-year-old Ormond Beach man who threatened to harm a citizen at a local park.
According to a police report, officers responded to the scene after receiving word of an intoxicated man harassing people on a fishing dock. When police arrived, they watched the man as he yelled nonsensical statements and upon approaching him, could smell alcohol on his person.
One park-goer told police the man threatened to "kick his butt" and had been harassing people all day at the park, the report states. The park-goer told police people that had visited the park had remained in their cars once they spotted the man, and left soon thereafter.
Once arrested and placed inside a patrol vehicle, the man started yelling obscenities at small children playing in the park.
He was taken to jail.

Information. A man who had previously visited a church looking for assistance for his electricity bill is suspected to have left many harassing voicemails, despite having scheduled an appointment for help.
Police report that a church employee had encountered the man on Sept. 27. They spent some time discussing policies for assistance and she explained to him that he didn't qualify for financial help, according to the police report. But, the man kept begging for an appointment, so she scheduled him for Oct. 1.
A few days later, the man canceled his appointment but still showed up in person on the day of his appointment, where he was rude to the front desk staff, the report notes. Other staff members were called to help get the man out.
Then, the church employee received many voicemails using vulgar language. The church employee was instructed to call police if the man called again.
