Civil complaint. Police responded to a local apartment complex after a resident who cares for a feral cat colony saw several shelters inside the trash compactor.
According to an incident report, the resident spoke with the apartment management team, who said a man had come in letting them know he had found "trash" behind a garage and asked to throw it away. The management team told him that maintenance would clean it up, but the man insisted on doing it himself.
The "trash" in question were three cat shelters the residents had bought for the cat colony. One of the shelters had two food bowls still on top of it. While the resident was able to safely retrieve one of the shelters, she couldn't reach the other two.
Police identified the man as a 23-year-old apartment resident. He told police he hadn't been aware of the city's trap, neuter and release program.

Unnatural and lascivious act. A 23-year-old Sanford woman and a 23-year-old Port Orange man were reportedly engaged in a sexual act in front of a chicken restaurant in a local plaza.
Police encountered the suspects as they were walking through a nearby park. A witness, who works at the restaurant, pointed them out to officers and reported that the couple had been masturbating in front of the establishment. Once police approached the couple, the reporting officer noted they were drunk.
The man stated the woman had just been sitting on his lap and that he was rubbing her leg over her leggings. He said the witness had been a "creep" for following them, according to an incident report. No cameras captured the incident.
