Getting carried away

7:20 p.m. 200 block of Boulder Rock Drive. Physical disturbance.
A 22-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy were hanging out in a Palm Coast home playing PlayStation Wednesday when the two began arguing about the game, and things got a bit out of hand.

The young man hit the teen, whose father barged into the room with a pocket knife to protect him, the teen told deputies.

The young man grabbed a plastic chair and hit the teen’s father with it, knocking him to the ground, then he drove off in a white Nissan, according to a Sheriff’s Office report.

The teen wasn’t visibly bruised, but his father was treated on scene by rescue personnel and taken to the hospital for treatment.

A witness, a woman who lived in the house, said the guys had all been drinking and that she was “sick of it” and wanted them to leave, according to the report. She wouldn’t give deputies a written statement.

The teen declined to press charges against the 22-year-old, and deputies weren’t able to speak with the father or the 22-year-old before writing a report.

The ‘hide your marijuana pipe under your leg’ trick didn’t work this time

9:27 p.m. Intersection of State Road 100 and Landing Boulevard. Narcotics.
A black SUV almost ran another car off the road while making an illegal lane change on Landing Boulevard near the intersection with State Road 100, and a deputy saw it and stopped the SUV.

When the deputy walked up to the driver’s side window, he noticed the driver, a 19-year-old woman, trying to hide a glass pipe under her leg, according to an arrest report.

The deputy called for backup. Another deputy arrived, and opened the car door. The young woman had the pipe in her hand.

He told her to put it on the floor and step outside, and secured her while deputies searched the car.

They found a cigarette pack with a crystal-type narcotic inside a clear plastic bag, and the young woman said it was the drug called “Molly,” a form of MDMA.

Deputies also found a marijuana roach and a grinder with marijuana residue in the car’s center console, and two more marijuana roaches inside the young woman’s purse.

The deputies arrested the young woman and called a female deputy to the scene to search her. A baggie of marijuana fell from the young woman’s chest. It was ripped in several places from the young woman’s attempts to hide it, a deputy wrote in the arrest report.

Deputies arrested the young woman for possession of cannabis, possession of MDMA, tampering with evidence and possession of drug paraphernalia.
