After the fourth call, Sheriff’s Office deputies arrived at the man’s home to speak with him, according to the man’s arrest report.

The second, an hour later, was to ask why someone came to his home, where he was warned about calling 911 without an emergency. The third was a call and hang up, and the fourth was to ask, again, why someone came to his home.

Burglary. A 51-year-old Palm Coast man wearing orange was caught burglarizing vehicles at 3 a.m., according to an arrest report.
The suspect was allegedly caught on door camera footage testing car doors as he walked down the street, and the residents called 911. Sheriff’s Office deputies responding to the call found the suspect a few streets over, walking along the street with a flashlight, the report said.

The man has been charged with marijuana possession, giving a false name to law enforcement, prowling and three counts of attempted burglary.
