Possession of narcotic paraphernalia. A 48-year-old Ormond Beach woman who admitted to using drugs told police the ones in her car weren't hers, but then also stated the only other person who uses the vehicle is her mother, and that she didn't do drugs.
A local restaurant manager had called police to let them know the woman had been parked illegally in front of the establishment for about five hours and had left multiple syringes in the bathroom. Once at the scene, officers found the woman behind the business, appearing hunched over as if she were attempting to "shoot up," according to the police report.
The woman covered her left arm with her sleeve and dropped an unknown object into a plastic grocery bag. She then gave officers a false name, and told them her car was dead and that she was waiting for a tow truck.
Officers conducted a narcotics search of her vehicle, finding crack pipes with cocaine residue and an uncapped syringe with a brown substance. She was taken to jail.

Loitering. A 49-year-old Clermont man was arrested after he was seen by a patrolling officer exiting a local movie theater after-hours, prompting the alarm to go off. The man told police that he allegedly had fell asleep during a movie.
The officer asked him for his ID, and the man couldn't find it or his car keys, and told the officer he must have left them inside the theater. Since the building was closed and the alarm was going off, the officer contacted the movie theater manager. While the officer and the manager were speaking on the phone, the man took off his flip-flops and began running toward the woods, according to the police report.
The officer chased the man, who entered the wood line and fell down. Once on the ground, the officer drew his taser and the man laid down and told him "just cuff me already."
The movie theater manager told police that her assistant had checked the building prior to closing it, and that a person matching the man's description had been asking "weird questions" earlier that evening. The man was taken to jail.
