Stop that man! He stole my drug money!
2:51 p.m. First block of Rockefeller Drive. Robbery.
Deputies thought the victim’s story didn’t quite make sense — at least, not his first one.
The 36-year-old man told deputies he’d come to Rockefeller Drive to pay back $20 he’d borrowed from a friend, and that an unknown black guy grabbed a wad of $200 cash from his hands and ran. He said he struggled with the man, who broke free and made it to the wood line.
That was his story. He didn’t stick to it.
When deputies started asking questions, he said that he’d actually come to Rockefeller Drive to buy drugs, and that the money was snatched when he pulled it out.
He then decided not to say anything more, so deputies couldn’t pursue the case.
Understandably, he declined deputies’ request for a written statement.

Lousy shots
6:58 a.m. First block of Royal Leaf Lane. Criminal mischief.
A 42-year-old woman got into her Chrysler at about 6:30 a.m. and realized the rear window was shattered.
He husband called the Sheriff’s Office, and told deputies the window had been fine when the van was parked in the couple’s driveway at 6 p.m. the day before.
A deputy checked the damage, and wrote in an incident report that the window might have been shot out by a pellet gun.
Soon after, deputies got another call from Rylin Lane resident whose rear windshield was cracked.
Again, deputies looked at the damage and noted it was probably caused by a pellet gun. The damage to the windshield was estimated at $500.
There was no physical evidence at either crime scene.
At least he can wash away his disappointment
2:36 p.m. 100 block of Flagler Plaza Drive. Petit theft.
A woman called the Sheriff’s Office from a local hair salon and told deputies a bag had been stolen from the backseat of her car.
But although the black bag looked like a purse, according to the deputy’s report, it wasn’t: It was an insulated lunch bag.
And it contained nothing tasty, just two bottles of shampoo, one of which was one the floor of the car when deputies checked it.
The thief, who’d smashed a car window to get the bag, made off with the other bottle.
The car had an alarm system, but it wasn’t working properly.
Deputies gave the woman a case card.

Getting car-ded
4:11 pm. First block of Evansmill Lane. Burglary.
A woman contacted the Sheriff’s Office after her bank called her to ask about suspicious debit card activity, and she realized her wallet was missing.
She told deputies she’d left it on the front seat of her car the day before, with the window rolled down. The window was broken, she said, and it takes two people to close it.
The wallet held her debit card, her driver’s license and her husband’s driver’s license, she said.
No money was missing from the account because it was empty to begin with, she told deputies.
