A spotlight crime
5:42 a.m. —1200 block of State Road A1A, Flagler Beach
Petit theft. A woman visiting Flagler Beach was arrested and charged with petit theft after she stole a flashlight at a convenience store.
The High Springs, Florida woman entered the store with a man and the two went into the aisle with the flashlights, according to her arrest report. The woman pickup up two, put one back and put the other in her purse. She then made herself a cup of coffee and walked over to the store’s cashier to pay for the coffee.
The cashier — who watched the woman pocket the flashlight — asked the woman if she would pay for the flashlight as well. The woman said, “What flashlight?” and denied taking it multiple times, the report said.
She and the man left the store as the cashier called the police.
Later on, a police officer tracked the woman to her hotel room, the report said. As the officer asked the woman to step outside, the woman said, “Oh my god, is this about the flashlight?”
The officer placed her under arrest.
Hot diggitty dog
9:23 p.m. — 300 block of State Road A1A, Flagler Beach
Disorderly conduct. After asking a bystander to buy him a hot dog, a man accused the bystander of stealing.
The suspect asked the bystander to buy him a hot dog from a nearby store because the suspect thought he wasn’t allowed in the store, according to the suspect’s arrest report. The man agreed and went into the store, bought the hot dog, and returned to the suspect with it.
The bystander saw the suspect arguing with another man who said the suspect was harassing people. The bystander said the suspect then also began acting “aggressive” toward him once he returned with the hot dog.
A police officer heard the suspect shouting and, when the suspect tried to walk away, detained him. The suspect was then arrested for disorderly conduct. It is unclear if he ever received his hot dog.
