4:19 p.m. — 4600 block of Mahogany Boulevard, Bunnell
False report of a crime, misuse of 911. Five Flagler County Sheriff's Office deputies across four patrol zones responded to a 911 call about a man with a gun being chased with a sword.
The caller told the operator a man with a bullet proof vest was chasing him with a sword, according to the incident report. The caller said he wasn't injured, but had a .45 gun on him and told the operator to "step it up and bring a lot help."
When deputies arrived, they found a yard sale but no gun-wielding man being chased by a sword-wielding man. No one at the yard sale had even seen a sword, the incident report said.
A motion camera recording the yard showed no evidence of a sword, or the accused chasing the caller. When deputies approached the caller and asked him why he said he had a gun and was ready to shoot someone, he told deputies "I was just saying that to get you here quicker."
The man was arrested for filing a false report and misuse of 911.

Criminal mischief. A man was arrested after stealing his ex-girlfriend's car and leaving it at an intersection.
The man was caught on surveillance cameras driving off with the car from a bar in Bunnell, and then returning on for his own vehicle, according to the incident report. The stolen car was found abandoned at the intersection of Deen Road and Boundry Street.
When the owner of the car arrived, she told deputies she was receiving texts from her ex-boyfriend that he took the car and then returned home. She said she kept a spare key to her car in a safe at the home where her ex still lives, but he didn't have permission to drive it since they broke up, the incident report said.
The ex-boyfriend was arrested and taken to the county jail.
