Bottom of the ladder

Three cars were northbound along Belle Terre Boulevard Monday when a ladder fall off a passing flatbed truck, cracking one car’s windshield and damaging the second’s hood. The third car ran over it. The truck’s driver stopped, retrieved his ladder, and sped off.
None of the drivers were able to give a deputy who showed up at the scene a good description of the truck. The drivers were not injured.

‘Gonna need a bigger bolt'
1:21 p.m. — First Block of River Landing Drive. Residential burglary.
A woman called deputies after she came home noon Wednesday and couldn’t open her front door because the lock frame was bent, as if someone had tried to break in. A deputy also noted pry marks on the door near the deadbolt and wood shavings on the ground beneath the door handle.
The woman said nothing seemed to be missing from the home. And the deputy canvassed the area and spoke to neighbors, but none of them saw anything unusual.

All keyed up
5:08 p.m. — 200 Block of Palm Coast Parkway. Criminal mischief.
A deputy was flagged down outside the Publix on Palm Coast Parkway N.E. by a customer. The man said he’d gone to Walmart at about 8 p.m. the previous night and left his car there for about half an hour while he shopped. After he returned home and got up the next morning, he realized his car had been scratched on the driver’s side. The car was a Honda 2013 he had bought four days before. The deputy saw thin scratch marks along the driver’s side door and front fender, and noted that they looked like they’d been made with a key.
Here, Lassie!
7 p.m. — First Block of Pine Cone Drive. Animal bite.
A deputy responding to reports of an animal bite spoke to a man who said he’d saw a couple walking a brown and beige Collie mix, and that he’d seen them before but never tried petting the dog. This time, though, he bent down to pet it, and the dog bit him on the right hand.
The victim didn’t seek medical attention that morning because he was too busy, he says. His wife convinced him to have it checked out later that evening, and the receptionist at the urgent care facility he visited said she was required to call the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office about any animal bites. The victim’s injuries looked minor, and he didn’t seek any action against the dog owners.
