Battery. A 30-year-old Daytona Beach man was arrested after he punched his tow truck driver, and subsequently chased him through a local gas station parking lot.
According to the man's arrest report, the reporting deputy had encountered the tow truck driver earlier that night after he responded to a disabled vehicle call. The driver said that, after transporting the man and his car to the gas station, he saw that he had AAA and attempted to obtain the card from the man to process the tow as a covered service.
During the conversation, the man punched the driver in the left temple area and then chased him in the parking lot before the driver went into the convenience store.
When apprehended by deputies, the man gave them a false name. Deputies later discovered he was out on bond from a prior battery arrest out of Daytona Beach, which took place two days before.
He was taken to jail.

Aggravated assault. Deputies arrested two people after they pointed weapons at a 56-year-old Bunnell man who was trying to get a gallon of water from a common area in their mobile home/camper community.
When deputies arrived, they spoke with one of the suspects, a 39-year-old Bunnell woman, who appeared to be upset and was "severely hyperventilating," according to her arrest report. While she was being evaluated by paramedics, the woman's husband showed deputies a video of the incident, taken by her, showing her yelling at the victim and blocking him from entering the common area. The woman then pulls out a handgun and points it at the victim.
The video then shows another tenant, a 62-year-old man, pull out a dart firing stun gun and point it at the man's face.
The victim backed away and went back to his camper. He wished to press charges.
The deputy noted that the main building in the community provides a common area for tenants to use for necessities including food, water and toiletries. Both suspects were taken to jail.
