For better or worse
8:38 p.m. — 1000 block of Northwest Palm Coast Parkway, Palm Coast
False police report. A woman was arrested after falsely telling deputies that she had backed into a fast-food restaurant’s sign, according to her arrest report.
Deputies received a report that a Dodge pickup truck towing a trailer had backed into the restaurant's sign and left.
A Sheriff’s Office deputy pulled over the truck on State Road 11 in Bunnell. But the driver, a man, said he wasn’t in the truck during the crash, but that his boss could tell the deputy more.
The boss told the deputy that he also had not been involved with the crash, but that his wife had been driving the truck.
The deputy and the woman arranged to meet at the fast-food restaurant. The woman told the deputy that she had hit the sign and would accept the consequences of her actions.
But when deputies checked security footage, it showed that a man — not a woman — had been driving the truck, the report said.
The woman stuck to her story, even after the deputy told her it was a crime to give false information and that deputies had surveillance footage.
Beach bummer

Retail theft. A man walked into a supermarket at the corner of State Road 100 and Roberts Road, grabbed two beach chairs and a beach umbrella, then left the store without paying and placed them in an SUV.
Then he walked back into the store, took two body boards, and walked out with those without paying as well, again placing them in the SUV.
Then he entered the store a third time, this time using a cart and and filling it with a beach anchor, a 12-pack of Coke, other beverages, a cooler and various miscellany that he placed in green tote bags before leaving the store, again without paying.
When a deputy found the man at his home, the man admitted he hadn't paid for "some" of the items at the store, according to his arrest report. Then he admitted he hadn't paid for any of them. The deputy arrested him.
