You can run stop sign but can’t hide
5:48 p.m. — Melrose Avenue and North Yonge Street. Traffic stop. The officer was at a four-way stop and saw a black motorcycle, travelling at a speed of 50 to 60 mph, go through the intersection without stopping. The driver, who was wearing a full-face, black helmet, accelerated after passing the officer.
The officer watched the motorcycle approach the intersection of Melrose Avenue and U.S. 1. The driver then slowed down rapidly, nearly losing control, and turned north on U.S. 1.
The officer reported a reckless driver over the police radio. Volusia County deputies reported over the radio that they had prior dealings with a similar motorcycle and gave an address to where he might be going. Officers later spotted him on Airport Road and made a traffic stop.
He was taken into custody by Volusia County deputies. The Ormond Beach officer cited him for speeding and failing to stop at a posted stop sign.

Vandalism looks familiar
2:40 a.m. — First Block of Warwick Avenue. Vandalism. A caller said four teenagers exited an SUV, struck a mailbox with a bat, and then left the area.
While approaching the area, an officer noticed an obstruction in the road. Several wooden slabs had been moved there from a yard. The officer noted in his report that this was similar to vandalism incidents that had happened two months prior, when a blockage of trash bags had been placed across the road, apparently to block cars from the vandalism scene.
Several neighbors reported damaged mail boxes. The officers searched the area but did not locate any suspects.

Now he’s really mean
2:16 a.m. — 100 Block of South Halifax Drive. Stolen Vehicle. The victim said while he was out of the room, the suspect found his keys and took his vehicle without permission. He said the suspect had done that before, and he did not pursue charges, but was “tired of her antics” and now wanted to press charges.
Later, an officer spotted the vehicle and conducted a traffic stop. The driver was identified as the suspect. The officers read her Miranda rights.
She said she took the vehicle to get away from the victim because he had been mean all day.
She was charged with grand theft of a motor vehicle and operating with a revoked license. She was transported to Volusia County Branch Jail.
