9:29 p.m. — Intersection of South Old Kings Road and West Granada Boulevard
DUI. After being arrested for drunk driving, a 62-year-old Ormond Beach told police that he needed to use the bathroom — ASAP. He told officers he would defecate on himself if not allowed to go, despite the officer telling the man they needed to wait for another officer to arrive before he could use the restroom. When his threat didn't work, the man told the officer was having a heart attack.
According to his arrest report, the man was stopped by police after he failed to maintain a lane while driving, almost striking another vehicle in the process. During the field sobriety exercises, the man listed "his many alleged ailments" that would prevent him from performing the exercises, but despite this, said he wanted to walk approximately two blocks to his home. He was then arrested and taken to the police department for processing, where he began his bathroom tirade.
After his claim of suffering from a heart attack, the officer requested firefighters perform a vitals check, but before they could arrive, he "was taken into the jail where he walked under his own power and had ceased his loud cacophony," according to the police report.
He was later taken to the hospital, and once cleared, transported to the county jail.
6 p.m. — First block of South Yonge Street
Possession of heroin. Police were dispatched to a local business when receiving notice about a 30-year-old Orlando man taking off his clothes and yelling.
When officers arrived, he was jumping up and down in front of the business without a shirt on, according to the police report. The reporting officer noted the man was sweating profusely and appeared to be under the influence of an unknown substance. His girlfriend told police that he went into the restroom of the business and came back "acting erratically."
While conducting a search of his person, police found a folded-up dollar bill inside a sock on his right foot. The officers looked inside and found a purple powder-like substance. It tested positive for heroin.
He was taken to jail.
8:59 p.m. — 600 block of South Nova Road
DUI. An 80-year-old Tennessee man, who was arrested for drunk driving, told police he was as "healthy as a horse" before beginning the field sobriety exercises.
The man had crashed into another vehicle due to his impaired state, and when police arrived at the scene, they noticed he was holding on to his car for balance. The man told police that, prior to the crash, he had been at a social organization's club house where he had consumed a few beers and sang karaoke.
He was taken to jail.
