5:30 p.m., Kasper Path, Palm Coast

Criminal mischief. The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office was called out to a home on Kasper Path for a residential burglary which led to a criminal mischief arrest. 

The homeowner, who was not there, called because his ex-girlfriend was trying to get inside the home and did not have permission to be there.

Once there, deputies saw the ex-girlfriend with a man. The man admitted to deputies that he broke the bathroom window so the woman could get in to get her belongings, the arrest report said. He was arrested for criminal mischief.

The woman, who was seen attempting to enter the property by a neighbor, according to the report, said she wouldn’t speak without an attorney present, and was let go. She left the man and walked away on foot, the report said.   

On the way to the jail, the report said the man told deputies that “he knew he did wrong by breaking the window.”
