Oh deer

4:19 a.m. — Intersection of Town Center Boulevard and Central Avenue, Palm Coast

Driving without a license. After crashing into a tree line, a 20-year-old Palm Coast man appeared to deputies to be "in a panic," stating that a deer had run out in front of him.

The reporting deputy attempted to calm him down, according to the man's arrest report, but when he asked the man for his license, the man said he didn't have one. The deputy later confirmed this was true, and discovered the man was on probation for a misdemeanor. 

As the deputy tried to detain him, the man resisted and tried to talk on his cell phone, according to the report. The deputy told him to stop resisting, but the man didn't comply, and knocked off the deputy's body camera in the process. 

He was taken to jail.

A side of drunkeness

4:52 p.m. — 1400 block of Palm Coast Parkway North West, Palm Coast

Breach of peace. Deputies arrested a 56-year-old Palm Coast man who caused a drunken disturbance at a sandwich shop.

Law enforcement responded to the shop after management called to have the man removed, finding him seated at a table closest to the door, according to the arrest report. The man had his head on the table next to a large open bottle of vodka. His shoes were off and pushed into the walkway.

The reporting deputy woke the man up and asked him to leave, but the man said he was going to "stay right where he was," the report states. Management had already asked him to leave multiple times over the two hours he had been at the shop, including when the man fell asleep on the floor underneath a table.

When a second deputy arrived and asked the man how he was doing, the man had an unexpected outburst and pointed his finger at him while using profanity, later resisting as he was being detained.

He was taken to jail.
