Indecent exposure. A 42-year-old Port Orange woman was arrested after she was caught showering in a fountain in front of a city-owned building. 

According to an incident report, a city employee told police that he saw the woman showering in the fountain, completely nude and visible to people driving on U.S. 1. It wasn't the first time; the woman had done the same thing a couple of days before. 

The woman was spotted walking along U.S. 1 with several shopping bags. She was detained and declined to speak with police about the incident. However, she did say she had a broken leg and arm, so police transported her to the hospital. After she was cleared, she was taken to jail.

Bad call

5:12 p.m. — 700 block of Hull Road, Ormond Beach

Fight. Officers responded to a city sports park after multiple 911 calls came in regarding a fight caused over a referee's call during a youth football league game.

The incident report states: "The scene was chaotic, countless juveniles and adults were in the area, and information was being provided from countless sources." Police report the referee's call led to a physical fight between the two teams of 15-year-old boys. Then one juvenile, who was not part of either football team, got involved and threatened one of the coaches with bodily harm.

The coach wished to pursue charges and provided a statement to police. 

After the fight, a man was walking some of the teens back to their parents when he saw three of the juveniles run somewhere to try and continue the fight. He stepped in to break them up, during which he was attacked by about four or five other teens before a parent stopped the altercation. The teens fled the scene before police arrived. The man declined to press charges, though police noted he had significant swelling and redness in his eyes from the attack. 

Police noted allegations that a coach also punched one of the teens, but no evidence corroborated the allegation and a victim was not present.
