Worse than coal in your stocking?

5:40 p.m. First block of Perthshire Lane. Burglarly.

A deputy went to a home on Perthshire Lane after the homeowner reported that he’d returned from vacation to find many of his electronics missing and the words “Santa was here ho ho ho” written in white spray paint on the floor of his garage.

A window at the home was broken when he arrived, he said, and the door was open. The stolen items included: a $3,600 50-inch 3D TV, two pair of 3D glasses valued at $250, an $800 flat screen TV, a $400 flat screen TV, a $600 laptop, a $700 tablet, an $800 surround sound system, a $200 Blu-ray DVD player and $300 cash.

A canvass of the area didn’t turn up any information.


Say my name, say my name

2:50 p.m. 800 block of Belle Terre Parkway. Disturbance.

En route to a disturbance call, the deputy was told by dispatch that a suspect had threatened to pull a gun on the caller, and the suspect had then driven off in a black Chrysler.

The deputy found the car southbound on Belle Terre Parkway and stopped it. The deputy could hear an argument inside the car, and he approached it. The driver, a woman, rolled down the window and got out of the car when asked.

The male passenger, though, told the deputy over and over again that he’d only asked someone for weed and that he didn’t have a gun.

The man didn't have identification and was patted down. The deputy then made contact with the original caller while the suspects waited.

The caller, a woman, told the deputy that the man had approached her 15-year-old daughter in a parking lot and started making inappropriate comments. She said she’d tried to get him to stop, but he became angry and started screaming and swearing. She began walking toward her car and heard the man say he was going to get his gun.

The store manager said she’d seen the man screaming profanity and had ordered him to leave.

The deputy searched law enforcement records for the man but found nothing, until he happened across a record of a man with a similar physical description. He asked the suspect if that was him and, after initially saying no, the man admitted it was.

He was arrested for disorderly conduct and giving a false name.

The deputy discovered that he had two out-of-county, open warrants. He was arrested and taken to the Flagler County jail.
