9:41 p.m., 1900 block of Main Street
Disturbance: A man entered a store and, for reasons not explained in the incident report, broke several incense sticks and engaged in a verbal altercation with an employee. The complainant wished to have the subject, who was identified, trespassed from the store.
Officers made contact with the subject nearby and, although initially advised of the trespassing warning, he was arrested on charges not related to the incident including burglary of an unoccupied vehicle, property damage and DUI, according to Sarasota County Jail records.
9:12 p.m., 1200 block of North Riverside Drive
Criminal mischief: In a dispute over $30, and perhaps deeper non-specified issues, a man told an officer, allegedly, his girlfriend shattered the rear window of his car, with whom he said there had been ongoing relationship issues.
The victim stated that at approximately 8:45 p.m. he walked past his vehicle and noticed the rear window had been smashed. Shortly after, he said he received a text message stating, “breaking your whole (euphemism for reproductive activity) car (euphemism for a female dog), and all you had to do was send me my money.”
The victim stated the subject had recently been asking him for $30, which he refused to provide, and she had been upset since.
A witness stated he had seen a “heavyset” woman park near the victim’s vehicle and, while wearing a multicolor dress, throw an object at the victim’s car while yelling “You (euphemism for reproductive activity and euphemism for a female dog)!” The victim said the woman got back in her SUV where she remained for a brief time, then exited again with another object, which she also hurled at the victim’s car.
The subject vehicle’s license plate was captured by nearby license plate reader cameras and the woman was arrested and charged with criminal mischief. Due to the witness not being able to positively identify the subject, the case was forwarded to the State Attorney's Office for review.
6:04 p.m., 300 block of Gowdy Road
Criminal mischief: Officers were told by a property owner that his garage door was “mule kicked” by an unknown female, resulting in damage to the door. The victim provided video evidence of several subjects, who appear to be juveniles, near the residence. It further captured a female turning her back to the door and kicking it before running off with her companions. She returned a few minutes later and repeated the assault on the door.
The victim provided several still photos and videos of the incident showing all the subjects who were present. He also created a webpage on which he posted all the images. He estimates the damage to the door between $500 and $2,000.
10:56 p.m., 2000 block of Siesta Drive
Larceny: Having had a lengthy dining experience at a high-end restaurant, a group of three individuals skipped out on their $204 tab. An officer met with the manager, who said the three arrived without a reservation. Two men split a $150 steak dinner, and a woman dined on a chicken dish, which had been removed from the bill because of an alleged delay being served. Two of them washed it all down with three drinks at a cost of $36.
The manager reported the group behaved rudely and in an entitled manner, also becoming angry with staff when informed them they would not be served additional adult beverages. They eventually ordered several desserts, but became angry with the perceived delay in being served. As the manager returned from the kitchen after retrieving the desserts, she said they got up to leave without paying the tab.
One man told her, “We aren’t paying, but I left you a tip so be happy with that.” At that, he threw $40 at a server, and the three walked out. Several staff members followed them out of the restaurant as one employee approached them about paying the bill, to which the female responded they did pay it before speeding off.
The license plate of their vehicle was captured, but attempts to call phone numbers associated with the individuals on record were not answered. As the address asociated with the vehicle is outside of SPD's jurisdiction, a Sarasota County deputy responded but was unable to make contact with its owners. The manager said she did not wish to press charges, but did request the three be trespassed from the property should they be located.
