Petit theft. A Daytona Beach woman was caught stealing over $100 in makeup from a store when a Sheriff’s Office deputy happened to walk into the same store and spot her.

The deputy caught the woman,36, taking makeup out of its packaging and hiding them in her pants, according to an arrest report. The deputy followed the woman around the store, asking her what she was doing and asking the store’s employees for surveillance footage.

The woman told the deputy she was just putting things back on the shelves, and then left the store. The deputy detained the woman outside the store, where she admitted to taking cosmetic products.

The deputy found makeup inside her pockets and in the waistband of her pants between her underwear and pants. She had attempted to take $108.70 worth of makeup and skin products.

The suspect was trespassed from the store, placed under arrest and taken to the county jail.

Underage DUIs

9:53 p.m. – State Road 100, Roberts Road, Flagler Beach

DUI. A 19-year-old was caught driving drunk with three minors in the backseat of his car. 

A Florida Highway Patrol officer saw the suspect driving over the Flagler Beach bridge while he was out on patrol. The car was weaving in the lane and one of the rear passengers was leaning out of the back window, clearly not wearing a seatbelt, according to the driver’s arrest report.

The officer pulled the car over and asked the driver to step out of the car to conduct a sobriety test. The driver failed almost every portion of the sobriety test and had a blood alcohol level of .058 and .061, the report said. 

The 19-year-old admitted to getting alcohol from a location in Palm Coast that does not ask for identification, the report said. He said he drank two beers and admitted to having another five beers in a cooler in the car.

The man was arrested for DUI and possessing alcohol while under 21-years-old.
