2:11 a.m. — First block of Fluhart Drive
DUI. Police arrested a 22-year-old man from Massachusetts who was involved in a single-vehicle crash while drunk driving. He told police he had been trying to get to his hotel in Orlando, and that he began his trip at "Greek Church Something," according to his arrest report.
The reporting officer noted that the man was unsteady on his feet and that he smelled like alcohol. He declined to perform field sobriety exercises, citing the fact he had just gone through a car crash. Based on the officer's observations until that point, he was placed under arrest for driving under influence and transported to the police department.
Once there, the man could not tell police what city or county he was in. He advised that the last thing he had eaten was some Cheez-Its and Wheat Thins the previous morning, and that he had drank three beers during the day, but that his last drink had been at 3:30 p.m. the day before.
The blood alcohol content level captured in his breath test said otherwise. He was taken to jail.
9:45 p.m. — 1100 block of North U.S. 1
Information. Police responded to a local bar after receiving a call about a battery that occurred between two men. When they arrived at the scene, they found one of the men who refused to speak to them.
The man told them that he "doesn't live in our world," and that he didn't talk to cops, the report states. Needless to say, he declined to provide a statement.
Other law enforcement at the scene told the reporting officer that before he arrived, the man told a coworker that he had been hit with a wrench and fired from his job. The bar manager told police that the incident hadn't occurred at the bar, but on Lowndes Avenue, which is under county jurisdiction.
10:16 a.m. —1100 block of West Granada Boulevard
Fraud. A manager of a local fast food establishment called police after she received a counterfeit $20 bill from a customer.
The manager told police that a man had come in and asked for three cookies and a gift card. Initially, he handed over a real $20 bill to pay for the cookies. It was when he asked for a gift card that he produced the fake bill.
The manager immediately noticed it was fake, according to the report, and the man told her he had just received it after making a purchase in another store. The manager said she would have to call police, and the man became nervous and was "visibly shaking." He then fled on foot.
Police were unable to locate him.
