Battery touch or strike. An UberEats customer was left waiting for his order after his delivery driver got into an altercation with a restaurant manager, who believed he was stealing the order.
According to a police report, when the delivery driver arrived at the restaurant to pick up the order, the restaurant manager asked him to verify the order before leaving with the food. The two men each told a different story to police: The delivery driver said he attempted to show he was responsible for the order, but was disregarded by the manager, and the manager said the delivery driver ignored his request and grabbed the order from the counter.
The manager and another restaurant employee followed him outside, at which point they claimed the delivery driver "swung his hands" at the manager. The manager got the order back and went back inside.
The delivery driver told police that as the manager took the food back, he injured his shoulder. He requested transport to the hospital.
Both men wanted to pursue charges. Neither had visible injuries.

Criminal mischief. A 65-year-old Bunnell man called police after his Airbnb guest left counterfeit money and vandalized the property, causing about $300 in damages.
The guest had reserved the vacation rental until July 4, but according to a police report, he overstayed. When the property owner came by the house to check it out, he noticed several items were damaged — a closet door, a door lock, the door to the garage and the fence gate, which appeared to have been chewed by a dog.
The property owner found the counterfeit money on the top shelf of a closet used to store cleaning supplies. The fake bills were rumpled, and consisted of one $100 bill, two $20 bills and two $10 bills. He later found another fake $20 bill ripped up in a toilet.
Additionally, the property owner said that his cameras showed multiple people coming in and out of the house with several suitcases. He told police he believed the guests were "conducting an abnormal amount of laundry," approximately 16-17 loads.
Police found more counterfeit bills in a trash can near the washer. The property owner wished to press charges.
