7:54 a.m. — Intersection of Williamson Boulevard and West Granada Boulevard, Ormond Beach

7:22 p.m. — 200 block of Benjamin Drive, Ormond Beach
Disturbance. A 60-year-old Ormond Beach man called police after his neighbor sprayed water at him over his fence because he was smoking marijuana in his backyard.
According to an incident report, the man said that, after some shouting, he approached the fence to confront his neighbor, a 62-year-old Ormond Beach woman, at which point she "continuously sprayed" him in the face and pushed his face away with her other hand when he tried to peek over the fence.
The incident was caught on video by the man's daughter, and police noted in the report that it coincided with the man's statement. However, the man didn't want to pursue charges — he told police he just wanted to be left alone.
The woman admitted to police that she did spray her neighbor, but denied hitting him. But, the report notes, she continued by saying "how she should have physically attacked him further while four police officers were standing directly around her."
The reporting officer told the woman that she cannot spray her hose at others, explaining that it constituted as a battery charge. The woman said she understood and agreed to call police should further issues arise.
