1:57 a.m. — Intersection of Division Avenue and South Yonge Street
DUI. Police arrested a 46-year-old man after he was found deeply asleep at the wheel of his vehicle at a green traffic light. An officer observed the vehicle for several minutes before deciding to conduct a traffic stop for a well-being check.
Once he approached, the officer saw the man slumped over in a forward position with the vehicle still in drive. The man awoke after the officer knocked vigorously at the window, police report. He then proceeded to inform the officer of a recent verbal dispute with his girlfriend and that he wanted to leave their home for a while.
When asked how long he may have been sitting in the intersection, the man replied "probably a long time." While at first he was cooperative with police, going along with the standard field sobriety exercises, he later became angry, stating that he was being charged with a DUI for "no reason." He would later utter statements that did not make sense to police, including "I put my leaker under the faucet for soda" once inside the holding facility at the police department.

False name. A 22-year-old Ormond Beach resident was arrested for providing police with a false birthday and incorrect spellings of her real name after officers responded to a disturbance at a Daytona Beach apartment building regarding "multiple people screaming at each other and somebody waving a stick", according to a report.
When police asked the woman for her ID, she said "No thank you. I didn't commit a crime." When officers explained they needed identification information for all those involved in the reported disturbance, the woman said "That has nothing to do with me."
She was asked to step outside of the vehicle she was in, and soon thereafter gave police the spelling of her nickname and a wrong spelling of her last name along with a birthdate that was a day off. When questioned about her last name's spelling, she said "You probably misheard me."
10:42 p.m. — 500 block of South Atlantic Avenue
DUI. A 55-year-old man was arrested after local gas station employees called police due to the man's suspicious behavior. The staff told police that after buying beer, the man sat inside his car and began to drink.
Police made contact with him, taking notice of the open beer container in the cup holder of his car, and asked him to step outside where they conducted field sobriety exercises. The man did not perform them correctly.
When asked how much he'd had to drink, he said he had consumed six beers before driving and that he stopped at the gas station to buy more. He was transported to the Volusia County Branch Jail.
