Idle hands
11:37 p.m. — 1000 block of Justice Lane, Bunnell
Obstructing extinguishment of fire. An inmate at the county jail is facing an additional felony charge after he made the sprinkler system go off because he was bored.
The inmate, who was already facing three felony and two misdemeanor charges, admitted to standing on his bunk bed and reaching up to the sprinkler near the ceiling of the cell, according to his arrest report. Security camera footage showed that the sprinkler suddenly began spraying as the man reached up to the sprinkler.
Water began spreading out under the cell door and into a general recreational area, flooding the entire cell block, the report said. When a Sheriff’s Office deputy spoke to the man about why he touched the sprinkler, the man said he did it because he was bored.
Drive-thru drinking
2:03 p.m. — First block of Old Kings Road, Palm Coast
Driving under the influence. A Sheriff's Office deputy arrested a man for DUI when the man fell asleep in a fast-food restaurant drive-thru lane and then drove into a parked car.
An employee at the restaurant stepped out into the lane after noticing that a car was stopped and holding up the line, according to the man’s arrest report. The employee saw the man sleeping at the wheel, but he woke up when she approached his car.
The man was slurring his words and then tried to leave the drive-thru lane, hitting a curb and then a parked car, the employee told the Sheriff’s Office deputy.
The driver told the deputy that he had just left the hospital and had gone to a liquor store to get a drink since he wasn’t able to drink at the hospital. He drank the liquor in the parking lot before going to the fast-food restaurant, the report said.
