Leaving the scene of a crash. Deputies arrested a 52-year-old Palm Coast man at his home the day after he left the scene of a crash.
According to his arrest report, upon spotting law enforcement at his home, the man said, "Please tell me I did not hurt or kill someone."
He hadn't, but the passenger in the vehicle he had hit had to be extracted from the car by removing the passenger side door.
The man told deputies that he had been working on his car on the morning of the crash when his allergies began to bother him, so he took two Benadryl pills, as usual. But, he said, after taking the medication, he didn't remember anything else.
The damage to his vehicle was consistent with the crash, including a headlight cover found at the scene. Surveillance footage of a general store near the scene of the crash also showed him purchasing a case of beer, placing him near the scene six minutes after the initial 911 call, according to the report.
He was taken to jail.

Battery. A 31-year-old Palm Coast woman is facing battery and criminal mischief charges after she shoved a basket into a plastic shield barrier at a local hotel.
Upon their arrival, deputies noticed items knocked over the reception desk countertop and on the floor. The general manager told deputies that the woman had advised them she would be late to work that day, starting an argument over the phone and in person when she arrived, according to a report.
The general manager told her she needed to leave, and the woman was upset, wanting to know if she was only being sent home and not fired. The argument then escalated and she began "yelling and slamming her open palms on the counter" before she shoved the basket at the general manager.
The basket struck the plastic shield, launching it off the counter; it struck the general manager's arm.
When speaking to the woman, deputies report she told them she left the area quickly after the altercation because she had a job interview.
She was taken to jail.
