Two shots, outta Dodge

1:21 p.m. First block of Burroughs Drive. Weapons complaint.
A Palm Coast man walked out to his Car in the morning and found two bullet holes in the passenger side of his black Dodge Ram.

He dug the shards out of the bullet holes and called the Sheriff’s Office.

He told deputies he “does not have issues with anyone in the neighborhood and does not know anyone who would have reason to do this,” according to a deputy’s report.

The deputy photographed the damage and collected the bullet shards as evidence, but didn’t find the shell casings.

Two white horses missing their knight

3:45 a.m. 3300 block of Oceanshore boulevard. Animal problem.
A deputy was driving north along Oceanshore Boulevard in the early morning hours when he saw something so out of place it must have seemed dream-like: a single white horse, walking northbound alongside the lane.

He turned the car around, and saw a second white horse walking toward him.

Both horses stopped, and the deputy blocked off a lane of traffic and began knocking on nearby doors, trying to track down an owner.

Two neighbors answered the door, but none knew anything about the white horses.

Dispatch connected the deputy with city animal control, and city animal control told the deputy to contact county animal control.

Nobody at county animal control picked up the phone, according to the deputy’s report.

The horses were causing a road hazard, so he called the Sheriff’s Office’s agricultural and ranch deputy to come out with a horse trailer.

As the ranch deputy was on his way, a 63-year-old man came walking down the road, introduced himself to the deputy, and said the horse were his, and that they got loose.

The deputy asked him to stay with him until the ranch deputy arrived to speak with him and release the horses to his care.
