8:45 p.m. — 100 block of Dix Avenue, Ormond Beach
Disturbance. Police officers responded to a residence after receiving a call about a vandalism in progress. When they arrived, they discovered that the incident was actually a dispute between tenants over a washing machine.
According to a police report, one of the tenants, a 58-year-old woman, accused the other, a 30-year-old man, of taking a washing machine from the home's shared laundry room and cutting the water drainage pipes. The man told police that the washing machine was his — and that he was removing it from the laundry room because he was moving out.
Both parties, the report states, accused the other of being aggressive toward each other, and police note the woman's yelling could be heard from several houses away. However, no actual crime was committed, the reporting officer noted, and the argument was heated because the parties didn't like each other.
Another tenant confirmed to police that the man did indeed own the washing machine and had installed the PVC pipes he removed. The washing machine had been removed a couple days before, so police reported it was unknown why they were arguing about it at that time.
Both parties were told to refrain from associating with one another.

Loitering. Police arrested a 39-year-old Daytona Beach man who was seen lying under work vehicles in a local business plaza.
Police suspected the man was looking to remove catalytic converters from the vehicles, according to a report. When officers arrived, the man was still lying under a work vehicle and told to stand up, at which point he was detained. In response to being asked what he was doing, the man said he was lying down "relaxing," the report states.
Officers asked him where he lived, and the man said he "kind of lived everywhere." He said he had entered the business park because he was "kind of drawn to it," according to the report.
He was taken to jail.
