Obstruct without violence, possession. A Palm Coast attending a local football game ended his night in handcuffs after an argument in the stands led to his arrest and several drug possession charges.
During a local football game, a Sheriff’s Office school resource deputy was called out to the stands when an argument broke out between several people in the stands. The deputy told the people they needed to leave, but one 35-year-old man refused to move.
The deputy managed to escort the man to the bottom of the bleachers, but the man stopped and refused to move again, so the deputy placed him under arrest for resisting without violence.
When the deputy searched the man, he found 8.5 grams of synthetic cathinones, known as bath salts, and another 1.6 grams of marijuana. The man was taken to the county jail and is now facing one felony drug possession charge and two misdemeanors.

DUI. An Ocala, Florida woman who was arrested on Aug. 23 for driving under the influence with a blood alcohol level three times the legal limit.
A Sheriff’s Office deputy was driving northbound on Highway U.S. 1 when he saw the suspect’s white sedan come speeding up from behind, according to the woman’s arrest report. The deputy said she was swerving and changed lanes multiple times, almost hitting several other vehicles, including his squad car. He pulled her over at the Royal Palm Parkway intersection and immediately noticed “a strong odor” of alcohol on her.
A second deputy arrived on scene to conduct a field sobriety test. The deputy wrote in his report that the woman could not even say her birth date or full name without correcting herself and had “extremely slurred” speech.
During the sobriety test, she blew a 0.245 on the breath alcohol test, three times the legal limit of 0.08. She was taken to the Flagler County jail.
