Wine organizer

1:11 p.m. — 100 block of West Matanzas Woods Parkway, Palm Coast

Petit theft. Gas station convenience store employees noticed a man randomly moving wine bottles, and when asked what he was doing, the man said he was "reorganizing the wine for all the white folk."

His erratic behavior had prompted the employees to call the sheriff's office, according to his arrest report. The man, a 34-year-old Georgia resident, was suspected to be intoxicated, and left the store. 

The reporting deputy decided to sit and watch the store in case he returned, which he did — he walked in and stole a bottle of $22 bottle of anti-freeze, the reports states. 

The store wished to press charges. He was taken to jail.

Heartburn 

7:25 p.m. — 4000 block of Mahogany Boulevard, Palm Coast

Obstruction without violence. A 51-year-old Bunnell was arrested after he failed to pull over after a deputy initiated a traffic stop for an inoperable headlight. Instead, the man accelerated onto the septic mound of his front yard, telling the deputy that "he wanted to go get Tums for his heartburn," according to his arrest report.

The deputy reported that the man exited his car once on the septic mound and walked toward him with a white pipe and a cigarette in his hand, along with his phone. He was "fidgety and exhibiting nervous behaviors," the report states, so the deputy detained him. 

He was taken to jail.
