6:16 p.m. — 200 bloc of South Ocean Shore Boulevard, the Flagler Pier in Flagler Beach
Trespass, petit theft, burglary. A homeless man was arrested when surveillance footage caught him jumping a fence to steal a cup of beer from a restaurant’s outside tap.
Another local homeless man spotted the suspect, who had been camping under the pier, jumping the barricade to the closed section of the pier, then hopping a fence into the restaurant’s outdoor seating area. The witness told the restaurant manager about the incident the next day, according to the suspect’s arrest report.
The surveillance footage showed the suspect pouring himself a cup of beer from the tap, then jumping the fence again to leave. A police officer arrested the suspect underneath the pier.
The suspect admitted he'd stolen the beer but said he didn’t see why it was a big deal, since he'd had a bad week and intended to pay it back later.
12:01 a.m. — 100 block of North State Street, Bunnell
Disorderly conduct, resisting arrest. Two intoxicated sisters were separated — and one was arrested — after the two began fighting outside of a bar for no apparent reason.
Two police officers on patrol noticed a group of people trying to separate the two women, according to an arrest report. One woman broke free and charged at the other again as police arrived.
Officers secured the woman in the back of the police car, where she continued to scream at the other woman.
The other woman, crying, told officers that the two were sisters and asked the officers not to arrest her sister.
When officers asked why they were fighting, the crying woman said she didn’t know how it started.
No one in the crowd or the bar knew, either: The two women were drinking inside and getting along fine until they stepped outside to leave and began to fight, according to the report.
Because the first sister continued to scream and fight the restraints, officers arrested her for disorderly conduct.
