6:28 p.m. First block of Forest Road.
Preventing the use of a fire extinguisher. A condominium’s maintenance man arrived at the condo and found that someone had broken into the condo pool’s maintenance room and emptied a fire extinguisher into the pool. Pool poles, life savers and buoys lay strewn around the maintenance room.
An employee tried to check the surveillance camera feed, but someone had disabled it. The employee was ultimately able to get it up and running: It showed an 18-year-old man, along with another man and several women, partying, drinking booze and engaging in sexual behavior in the pool area.
Deputies found the 18-year-old, who admitted that he’d broken into the pool maintenance area. He said he’d tried to delete the security footage — and, when he couldn’t, sprayed the whole area with the fire extinguisher. Deputies arrested him.
2:38 a.m. State Road 100 at Seminole Woods.
Drug possession. A deputy on patrol saw a car fail to stop behind the stop bar at an intersection at a gas station. Another deputy told him he’d seen the same car leave from a known drug house.
Deputes stopped the car, which smelled of pot and was driven by a woman. Another woman was in the passenger seat. Deputies patted down the driver, who was clear, but the passenger had several odd bulges in her clothes.
Deputies asked her to remove the items she was trying to conceal, and she pulled out two glasses cases stuffed with drugs and drug paraphernalia.
Then, according a deputy’s report, the woman “spontaneously uttered that she uses these items to introduce narcotics into her body.”
Deputies arrested her and took her to the jail, where they found more drugs as they booked her.
11:51 a.m. Palm Coast Parkway at Northwest Brushwood Lane.
Narcotics, driving with a suspended license. A deputy on patrol checked a pickup truck’s tag and discovered that the truck’s sole registered owner had a suspended driver’s license. The deputy stopped the pickup.
The driver told the deputy that he didn’t have a license.
The deputy told two passengers in the truck that they were free to go, but one of the passengers grabbed a cloth pouch in the car, told the deputy that he wanted to “show you what’s in this,” and opened it to reveal several cut straws with a powdery substance and a torch lighter.
The deputy asked him what the powder was, and the man used the slang term for oxycodone. The deputy then checked a “Big Gulp” cup held by the truck’s driver, and found that it contained pills and a syringe.
The men were arrested.
