Possession of methamphetamine. A 32-year-old Palm Coast man was pulled over by a deputy because his motorcycle didn't have a license plate. The deputy soon discovered the man also didn't have a valid driver's license, but, he did have three small plastic bags of methamphetamines
According to the man's arrest report, he informed the deputy that he had just bought the motorcycle online and didn't have the title, bill of sale or registration yet. After finding out he didn't have a driver's license, the deputy placed him under arrest and conducted a search, finding the meth in his jacket pocket.
As the man was being transported to jail, he appeared unresponsive. The deputy pulled over to check on him, and when he opened the door, the man woke up and said he was dehydrated and nervous. The deputy gave him a bottle of water. He was taken to the hospital to be medically cleared before going to jail.

Burglary. Deputies arrested a 23-year-old Palm Coast man who broke into a local cafe and stole $450 in cash from the registers and tip jars.
The Sheriff's Office reported that a landscaping company first noticed on the cafe's windows had been shattered, and the company contacted another local business, who notified police. Deputies then obtained surveillance footage, which showed the man entering the store and the managers' office, according to his arrest report.
Deputies received tips from homeless men in the area, which helped to identify the man, who had been arrested the day prior wearing the same clothes he had been seen in on the surveillance footage.
Deputies spoke with the man in jail, who said he had committed the crimes because he was "high on Xanax and blacked out."
