Suspicious incident. An Ormond Beach resident called police after her dolphin statue was stolen from her home.
According to an incident report, her doorbell security camera alerted her to the presence of a woman at her front door. She watched as the woman looked around before taking the concrete statue. While waiting for police, the resident drove around the neighborhood to try to find the woman, whom she believed to be a transient.
The resident found the woman just down the road. The woman, according to the incident report, told the resident that she had taken the statue to "paint it for her." She gave it back, and the resident decided not to pursue charges.

Disturbance. Conflicting stories and no independent witnesses led to no arrests or charges filed after a physical altercation allegedly took place at a local events venue.
Police report that when they arrived at the scene, a 55-year-old Flagler Beach woman said she had been near a sales tent dumping bottles of beer into a storm drain when a woman started yelling at her. Then, she said a man picked her up by the arms and threw her to the ground.
Officers spoke to all parties involved. A friend of the Flagler Beach woman told police that her friend had been accused of stealing a watch and that the pair involved in the physical altercation, who were vendors, chased them through the parking lot. As police gathered statements, some said that the Flagler Beach woman tried to hit the other and that her husband was also involved.
Police noted that the Flagler Beach woman was "highly intoxicated." So were other individuals involved. There were injuries on both sides of the dispute.
