Dine-in delivery
11 a.m. — 300 Block of Old Moody Boulevard. Animal bite. A victim who works delivering parcels stopped at a company to make a delivery. As he approached the premises, he met a dog owned by the property controller of the business. The victim said the dog, which was a 45- to 55-pound Australian cattle dog, jumped and bit him on his left forearm, leaving puncture wounds and a torn piece of flesh approximately 2 inches long. The business controller heard his dog barking and a human scream and went to help the victim wrap his injury with gauze. Paramedics suggested that the victim visit the emergency room.
Dented deputy
6:50 p.m. — 3000 Block of County Road 302. Police vehicle damage. An officer was parked facing east parallel to the road when he went to make a U-turn to go westbound on the same road. Once the officer entered the road, he observed a vehicle traveling eastbound that he had not been able to see because of glare from the sun when he was pulling onto the road. The officer’s vehicle incurred damage amounting to $200 on the driver’s side right bumper. One person from the scene was transported to Florida Hospital Flagler.
Fast food fake-out
9 p.m. — 5000 Block of East State Road 100. Suspicious incident. An employee at a restaurant said a suspect pulled up at the drive-thru and attempted to pay for food using a $100 bill that looked suspicious. The money was tested with a currency pen and shown to be accurate but appeared to be very old and questionable. A deputy was unable to determine whether the suspect knew he was in possession of a counterfeit bill, and no charges were pressed. The counterfit bill was identified as having a George Washington face in the center and an Abraham Lincoln face in the hologram, and it showed a currency strip embedded in the bill that read “5 dollars” instead of “100 dollars.” The bill was taken into possession and stored as evidence at the Flagler County Operations Center.
