No soliciting

Criminal mischief, battery. An Ormond Beach man, 62, was arrested after he allegedly broke the rear window of a salesman’s car.

The victim told a Sheriff’s Office deputy that he leaves pamphlets on residents’ doors but does not bother the homeowners, according to the suspect’s arrest report. 

He said he had just left a pamphlet at the man's home when the man ran out of the home and began yelling at him.

The salesman said he returned to his car when the man began throwing rocks at him. 

When he drove by the home to leave the neighborhood, the man's wife was standing outside the home. 

The salesman said he pulled over to apologize for disturbing them, but the man ran out of the home again, this time carrying a pair of grill tongs.

The man reached into the car and grabbed the salesman by the collar, so the salesman punched him. 

As the man pulled back and the salesman began to drive away, the man smashed the tongs against the car’s rear window, which shattered. The man was arrested and taken to jail.

Shopping problems

Trespassing, battery. A woman who had been trespassed from the Volusia Mall was arrested after she refused to leave, then hit a Sheriff’s Office deputy and a security officer, according to her arrest report.

Mall security had called Sheriff’s Office deputies when the woman refused to leave the mall. 

An arriving deputy told her that she had been trespassed from the property. When she still refused to leave, the deputy arrested her for trespassing.

While the deputy struggled to handcuff her, the woman was taken to the ground and hit her head. 

After the woman was cleared at the hospital, a deputy and security officer tried  to load her into a patrol car.

But the woman began to fight, kicking the deputy in the face, knee and ankle and hitting the security officer in the head, face, neck and arm, the report said. 

During the struggle, the woman also caused $1,000 in damage to the patrol car’s door.
