Retail theft — shoplifting. A man grabbed a pair of sunglasses from a display in a beachside convenience store and walked out without paying. The store owner alerted a police officer, who found the thief on the beach, the sunglasses perched on his head, according to the officer's report.
The suspect, a 42-year-old man, admitted that he'd stolen the sunglasses, telling the officer that he "knows it was stupid," according to the officer's report.
12:48 a.m. 7700 block of U.S. 1 South
Escape/attempted escape. A deputy on road patrol noticed that a trailer hauled behind a pickup truck had no trailer lights, and the driver had the truck's hazard lights on.
The deputy stopped the car, and noticed that a man in the passenger's seat wasn't wearing a seatbelt.
The deputy asked the man for his name. The man stated a name — an uncommon one which the deputy recognized because he knew someone with that name.
But the man the deputy knew with that name was clearly not the man sitting in the passenger seat of the truck.
The deputy had the man step out of the truck, and the man admitted that he had an active arrest warrant for failing to appear in court, and had used a relative's name.
The man tried to flee by running across the street, but was tackled by a highway patrol trooper and arrested.
1:11 p.m. First block of Memorial Medical Parkway
