10:18 a.m. — Reybell Lane, Palm Coast
Marijuana possession. Flagler County Sheriff's Office deputies found around two pounds of marijuana in a duffel bag while serving an arrest warrant.
The deputies had been given access to the suspect’s home by his grandmother, who thought he was in the house and showed them to his room.
He was not there, but a duffel bag was; without prompting from the deputies, the grandmother opened the bag to find the marijuana — around $3,000 in street value, according to his arrest report.
Deputies found the 23-year-old man — who is six feet tall and 200 pounds — trying to duck behind a vehicle in the garage. The man, once found, asked the deputies if they found “the bag of marijuana,” according to the arrest report.
He then told deputies that the bag was not his, and said he was only holding it for a friend who was on probation.
The man was taken to the county jail on a marijuana possession charge in addition to the arrest warrant.

Shoplifting, grand theft. A woman was caught trying to steal from the Target on State Road 100 in Palm Coast — a door mat and seven boxes of Legos, totaling $1,137. 32.
A loss prevention officer saw the woman place the items in her cart and then walk through the aisles placing them in plastic target bags, according to her arrest report.
When the woman went to exit the store, the loss prevention officer stopped her, but she ditched the cart and merchandise and ran for her car.
The officer gave a description of the vehicle to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office, which was able to quickly find and pull over the red SUV.
When deputies questioned her, the woman admitted to trying to steal the items so she could resell them. The loss prevention officer identified the detained woman as the thief.
Inside her car, deputies found more Lego boxes, which she said she’d stolen from a different Target. The woman also had two arrest warrants from two other counties for grand theft. She was taken into custody.
