10:24 a.m. — 300 block of Cypress Edge Drive, Palm Coast
Criminal mischief. A 31-year-old Palm Coast man was arrested after he keyed a man's car in the parking lot of a local home improvement store.
Deputies report that the man "aggressively" pulled into a parking spot next to the victim, who was backing his truck into a space, and almost struck his vehicle. The victim had trouble opening his door to get out, as the man parked very close to him. While exiting his truck, the victim and the man exchanged words before he entered the store.
After shopping, the victim returned to his truck and was pulling out when the man held his keys in his hand rand it down the entire driver's side.
The man told deputies he saw the victim spit on his truck, and that his body had bumped into the truck as the victim tried to drive away. When asked if he used his key to scratch the victim's truck, the man said "it must have been his body," the report states.
Security footage refuted the man's claim. He was taken to jail.
3:56 p.m. — First block of Kaiser Place, Pam Coast
Possession of methamphetamines. Deputies responded to a residence after a woman reported that her 21-year-old son had run away and allegedly threatened to jump in front of moving vehicles.
According to an arrest report, deputies spoke with the man at a nearby intersection, who told them he was upset that his mom was kicking him out of the house because he failed a drug test. The man asked deputies give him a ride back home to gather his belongings, at which point the deputies told him "he would be separated from his property for officer safety reasons," the report states.
The man mentioned he had a weed pipe in his backpack, but that it was for medical marijuana. He also said he may have a small pocketknife somewhere. Because of these claims, deputies patted him down, finding a pill container with several small plastic bags containing Xanax and other different pills and another plastic bag containing about .85 grams of meth.
While he had a prescription for two of the kinds of pills deputies found on his person, he didn't have one for the Xanax pills. He was taken to jail.
