Trespass. A 20-year-old man from Honduras is being detained and may be deported from the U.S. after police found him and four others inside the former movie theater in town.
According to a police report, officers on patrol heard voices coming from the movie theater building, which they described as "abandoned," and noticed the front entrance was unsecured. They entered the building and conducted a sweep, during which one officer noticed movement coming from behind a curtain in one of the theater rooms.
Officers instructed them to come out, the report states. Initially, no one spoke or came forward, so one officer peeked behind the curtain and saw five people hiding.
They were escorted out of the building and detained. All declined to speak with police, but did say they found an open door and wanted to look inside.
There was no new damage sustained to the property. Officers couldn't positively identify the 20-year-old, despite him providing their name, so he was originally labeled as a "John Doe" in records before he was confirmed to be undocumented.

Trespass. Deputies arrested a 38-year-old Ormond Beach man who refused to leave the premises of a local gas station, leading employees to call law enforcement to have him trespassed.
When deputies arrived and informed him of this, the man "became irate and argumentative," according to his arrest report. He accused a deputy of being a "conspiracist" and attempting to wrongfully arrest him.
He was asked once again to vacate the premises, but the man continued to refuse. He was taken to jail.
