Breach of peace. A 49-year-old Palm Coast woman was arrested after she stood outside a home, topless and intoxicated, to throw rocks at her father’s tenant house.
Multiple people in the neighborhood called for Sheriff’s Office deputies because the woman was standing in the street topless, shouting and throwing rocks at the house. When deputies arrived, the woman was also holding the tenant’s dog and “obviously” intoxicated, according to an arrest report.
Deputies asked the suspect to put on a shirt, but she began to cry and scream that she wouldn’t. Eventually, she put on a shirt provided by the tenant, but refused to identify herself.
The tenant told deputies that the suspect came over to the home drunk and tried to get ahold of the parents, her landlords, but could not reach them. Then, she said, the suspect began rubbing her genitals on the tenant’s bed and hit the tenant when she was told to stop, the report said.
Though the tenant declined to press battery charges against the woman, the suspect was placed under arrest and taken to the county jail.

DUI. A Port Orange woman was caught driving with a blood alcohol content almost four times the legal limit with two children in the backseat.
A deputy on patrol noticed the woman’s car driving along Highway U.S. 1 in the left lane and swerving into the right lane and driving with its left turn signal on, according to the arrest report. When the deputy pulled the woman over and asked her to exit the car for a sobriety test, the woman repeatedly stumbled, almost falling into the road.
The woman told deputies that she was lost and trying to find her friend’s house. In the backseat were two crying children around 10 years old, one belonging to the woman, the other her friend, the report said.
The second child’s mother arrived on scene to bring both children home and the suspect was taken to the county jail. There, the woman took a breath test and blew a 0.294 and 0.289, almost four times higher than the legal limit.
