Spitting image

7 p.m. 1600 block of Lancewood Street.

Burglary of a dwelling with assault/battery. A man sold another man a motorcycle, but warned the buyer that the title would only be provided after the buyer completed all payments for the motorcycle. 

Later, the buyer arrived at the seller's house demanding the title, even though the buyer still owed money on the bike. When the seller told him to get off his property, the buyer stepped into the seller's home, yelled at him, approached aggressively with clenched fists and spit on him. 

The seller had surveillance video of the spitting incident and turned it over to deputies, who arrested the spitter.

Snoozing and losing

9:15 a.m. 100 block of White Hall Drive.

Grand theft of a motor vehicle. A man hired a worker who was dropped off at the job site in the morning, but didn't have transportation home in the afternoon and asked to use the man's car.

The man let him take it with a guarantee that he'd return it by 7 a.m. the next day. But the worker didn't bring the car back and didn't return the man's calls, so the man called the Sheriff's Office, which listed the car as stolen. 

At about 4 p.m. the same day, the worker brought the car back, saying he'd fallen asleep and had returned it was soon as he could. The man decided not to prosecute.

ATV tries to outrun police cars

8:38 p.m. Intersection of East Booe Street and South Church Street

Fleeing and eluding. A deputy on patrol noticed a woman operating an all-terrain vehicle on the roadway. When the deputy activated lights and siren to stop the ATV — which wasn't street-legal — the woman looked over her shoulder at him and then sped off, running multiple stop signs.

A Bunnell police unit was able to cut her off and stop her. She said she hadn't realized the deputy was trying to pull her over. She was arrested.

The wrong sort of drinking

7:27 a.m. 100 block of Belle Terre Boulevard

Battery on an officer. A deputy responded to a coffee shop after a staff member called law enforcement about a belligerent woman in a purple sweater who was intimidating customers.

When deputies arrived, they found the woman rambling about past incidents and smelling strongly of booze. The woman approached one of the deputies aggressively.

When the deputy tried to restrain her, she started swinging, kicked him in the leg, and threatened to spit on another deputy. 

Deputies arrested her.
