That sinking feeling

10:39 p.m. Larry Avenue and Kelly Street. 

Assist public. Flagler County dispatch received a hangup 911 call that turned out to be from a family that got lost in Flagler Estates after an attempt to go “mudding.”

When deputies arrived to the area, they found a drunk man standing with his family beside an SUV, which was partly submerged in a mud hole.

“[The man] explained he was operating mentioned vehicle and decided to drive through a mud puddle,” a deputy wrote in a case report. “[He] advised he wanted to go ‘mudding,’ but underestimated the puddle.” Deputies removed the family from the scene. They left the SUV, which was inoperable.

Burglary. Video surveillance at a local resort captured footage of a young man in a camouflage jacket and camouflage pants finagling his way into the bar overnight through a faulty door, then stealing one bottle of Captain Morgan and one bottle of Maker’s Mark.

Security staff told deputies that they believed the young man was a teen who lived in the area. Deputies arrested a teen on a warrant and noted that he had a similar build and was wearing a camouflage jacket and pants.
