Grand theft. A Palm Coast 18-year-old was arrested after he was caught attempting to steal a cop car and BMWs from a dealership.
Police officers were called out to a dealership when the suspect attempted to steal multiple vehicles from the dealership. As officers were talking to the employees, one detective saw the suspect enter an employee-only area and get into the driver side of a BMW SUV, according to an arrest report.
When the BMW wouldn’t start, the suspect exited the car and, ignoring the detective’s orders to stop, climbed into the detective’s car and attempted to steal it.
The detective tased the suspect and took him into police custody. Employees told police the suspect had come into the dealership to purchase multiple cars, despite not having any money or credit. He left the dealership and returned an hour later, where he began attempting to steal BMWs.
The suspect even told one employee he “was going to take the vehicle and leave,” the report said.

DUI. A Hastings, Florida motorcyclist was arrested on a DUI charger after he ignored patrol cars attempting to pull him over and told Sheriff’s Office deputies, “You got me, I have a little buzz.”
According to a 911 call, the motorcyclist had crashed on U.S. 1, but immediately stood up, picked up the motorcycle and drove off. Sheriff’s Office deputies in the area immediately found the motorcyclist and attempted to pull him over, only for the motorcyclist to continue driving for two miles, according to an arrest report.
The suspect eventually pulled over, and when deputies confronted him, they immediately could smell alcohol on the suspect’s breath.
That’s when the suspect admitted to being buzzed. He was taken to the Flagler County jail on a DUI and fleeing and eluding charge.
