WINNING THE LOTTERY
Advertisement
10:33 a.m. — 1500 block of North U.S. 1 Larceny. A 35-year-old transient man lucked out in an unexpected way after he stole two lottery tickets from a local gas station convenience store.
Surveillance video showed the man approaching the counter and reaching between the lottery ticket dispensers to grab two tickets. As police were on the scene, the man walked across the parking lot. The reporting officer ran toward him, at which point the man tried to quickly walk away before being instructed to get on the ground.
He was placed in handcuffs and put in the rear seat of the officer’s patrol car. He admitted to stealing and added that the tickets were not winning tickets.
As he spoke with officers, the store manager wasn’t sure if he wanted to pursue charges, and disclosed he didn’t want to be “inconvenienced,” the report states. He asked a “multitude of hypothetical questions” about court and plea deals, after which he said he did want to pursue charges. However as the officer was completing the arrest paperwork, the manager changed his mind and the man was released.
DRUNK LITTERER
10:15 p.m. — First block of West Granada Boulevard Disorderly intoxication. Police arrested a 26-year-old Port Orange man who was causing a disturbance at a city park while drinking and screaming obscenities at people.
According to his arrest report, as officers approached a gazebo in the park, they saw the man screaming. When the man became aware that police were approaching, he began to throw his alcohol and trash into the river. The reporting officer ran up to him and yelled at him to stop.
He was taken to jail and issued a trespass warning for all city parks.
