Possession of heroin. Police arrested a 35-year-old Daytona Beach woman following a traffic stop after finding narcotics and paraphernalia inside her vehicle.

Small plastic bags with heroin residue were also discovered.

Drunk driver

1:54 a.m. — Intersection of Wilmette Avenue and North Yonge Street

DUI. A 38-year-old Ormond Beach man who passed out behind the wheel of his car while drunk driving handed police his debit card instead of his driver's license once police woke him up.

According to his arrest report, police found the man slumped over the wheel while in the turn lane of North Yonge Street, with the vehicle still in the "drive" position and foot on the brake. After failing to turn off his vehicle, the reporting officer reached into the car and placed it in park before shutting it off.

The man's slurring was so bad, the reporting officer asked him if he was speaking English. When police asked if he had anything to drink, the man said "some beer and some shots," according to the police report. 

He failed the field sobriety exercises and was taken to jail.
