Holmes Beach
Nov. 6, Manatee Public Beach, 4000 Gulf Drive, trespassing/domestic battery/resisting law enforcement officer. A Holmes Beach police officer was informed of an intoxicated man. The officer found people who pointed out a man sleeping on the beach. The officer woke the man, who appeared to be “extremely” intoxicated and issued trespass warnings and then a formal trespass. When the man’s girlfriend lectured him, he threw a punch at her that stopped short of hitting her. She said he had struck her in the face earlier. Officers arrested the man and, at the Holmes Beach Police Department, he caused a disturbance and was pepper-sprayed. During transportation, the man also kicked a vehicle door. He was restrained during transport to the Manatee County jail.
Nov. 10, Manatee Public Beach, 4000 Gulf Drive, vandalism. An officer responded to reports of vandalism. A woman said she’d returned from the beach to find scratch marks on her vehicle. She said she parked in a spot where a man was standing, trying to reserve it, and he cursed at her. The complainant wanted an information report for insurance purposes.
Nov. 11, Shell Station/Jessie’s Island Store, 5424 Marina Drive, suspicious circumstances. An officer saw a motorist parked near the gas station, which was closed, and contacted the driver to ask that she leave. As the motorist left, the officer followed and saw the vehicle stop in a left-turn lane at a stoplight and then cut across the lane to turn right. The officer conducted a traffic stop and spoke to the driver, who said she was meeting with a man but couldn’t find him. During a search of her text messages, which she consented to, the officer found texts alluding to potential prostitution. The driver did not address the officer’s questions and denied any wrongdoing. The driver and her passenger provided identification and were allowed to leave.
