Grand theft, drug possession. A Bunnell man is facing a felony shoplifting charge after he allegedly stole almost $1,700 in basketball and football trading cards.
The suspect was caught on surveillance camera taking a variety of 38 trading card packs and boxes from a department store and shoving them in his cart, according to the man’s arrest report. The cards totaled $1,694.55.
The store’s loss prevention officer immediately called the Sheriff’s Office and deputies were able to intercept the suspect on State Road 100, the report said.
While searching the suspect’s car, one deputy found a “small white rock substance” in the back seat which field-tested positive for methamphetamine. The suspect was taken to the county jail and is facing two felony charges.

Possession of eggs of a marine turtle. An Ormond Beach man was caught with drugs and sea turtle eggs in his truck when he was found loitering outside a home he had an injunction against.
A Sheriff’s Office deputy passing by on patrol recognized the man’s truck from an August incident where the suspect was arrested at the home. The suspect was later court-ordered to stay 500 feet away from the home, yet the truck was parked outside it.
The deputy pulled over and parked behind the truck and found the suspect inside it, asleep, according to the man’s arrest report. When the deputy got the man out of the truck, he found, in a plastic container on the floorboard, five sea turtle eggs.
While taking the eggs out of the truck into evidence bags, the deputy noticed a marijuana bowl on the ground that was not there when he first pulled up, the report said. A search of the suspect’s person and truck turned up a THC vape pen, a glass jar with fentanyl powder in it, another bowl and a handmade metal pipe. The man told the deputy he found the eggs and the fentanyl jar washed up on the beach.
The suspect is facing 10 misdemeanor charges for possessing the eggs and illegally taking and disturbing them, several drug possession charges and a violation of injunction charge.
