Big accident

9:23 p.m. — 1600 block of Holly Lane, Bunnell

DUI. After spotting a deputy, a 69-year-old Bunnell woman driving a four-wheeler while drunk approached him, asking him what was going on. 

The deputy was investigating a weapon's complaint,  but after noticing the woman's inebriated state, asked her for her license and informed her it was illegal for her to drive on the roadway on a four-wheeler. The woman began to reverse, ignoring the deputy's demands to stop, so he grabbed the brake on the handlebar, according to the woman's arrest report. 

The woman got off the four-wheeler and the deputy noticed she had poor balance, at which point another deputy took over the investigation. During this, the woman told the deputy she had just defecated in her pants. 

The deputy asked if it was a minor accident, or a larger concern, and the woman touched the back of her pants and said, "It was a big accident."

She failed the field sobriety exercises and was taken to jail.

10:52 a.m. — Intersection of Belle Terre Parkway and Ponce Deleon Drive, Palm Coast

Fleeing/eluding law enforcement. A 25-year-old Palm Coast man called his arresting deputy a "pig" after he was apprehended for fleeing. 

According to his arrest report, the deputy spotted the man traveling south of Belle Terre Parkway at 64 miles per hour and activated his emergency lights to initiate a traffic stop. The man continued to drive — for a total of 1.83 miles before he pulled into a residential driveway.

The deputy approached the man and asked him to exit the car with his hands in the air. He was then secured in handcuffs and "immediately began making baseless accusations about the reason for the stop and claims that he had done nothing wrong," the report states. 

He called the deputy a "pig" for attempting to pull him over for speeding. The man was taken to jail.
