Smoking gun

10:18 a.m. — Grand Landings Parkway, Palm Coast

Possession of marijuana. Deputies arrested a 27-year-old Titusville man who was found to have marijuana in his truck and lied about the status of his medical marijuana card. 

According to the man's arrest report, a deputy initiated a traffic stop on his truck after seeing him going over 20 mph past the posted speed limit. Once stopped, the deputy smelled a "very strong odor of burnt cannabis" coming from the truck.

When the deputy inquired if the man had a medical marijuana card, the man said he did — just not on his person. The man said he had smoked on the weekend while out in the woods where he had been shooting guns, according to the report. 

Deputies conducted a search of his truck and found less than 20 grams of marijuana. They also discovered the man's medical marijuana card was expired, and had no authorization to have the drug on hand. 

He was taken to jail.

Tattoo business

6:08 p.m. — Intersection of U.S. 1 and Karat Path, Palm Coast

Driving with a suspended license. A deputy pulled a 38-year-old Port Orange man over after seeing his car's front windshield had multiple large cracks across the driver's side. As he spoke with the driver, the man told him he was on probation out of Volusia County — but that his probation officer knew he traveled into Flagler County for "tattoo stuff." But, he wasn't in Flagler County for that.

According to the man's arrest report, he said he was driving his car to a friend's house in Bunnell to get repair work done. He tried to call his probation officer several times, but she didn't answer his calls. 

The reporting deputy noted in the man's arrest report that his license was suspended indefinitely after he failed to pay a traffic fine, which the man said was for speeding. The deputy also found out the man was on probation for drug possession. 

During a search of his car, the deputy found drug paraphernalia and .2 grams of fentanyl. He wast taken to jail.
