Anna Maria

3/1, 2:08 a.m., suspicious, 300 bock of Magnolia Avenue. The deputy stopped the suspect for driving without his lights on. The suspect admitted he backed out of his driveway and accelerated before turning on his headlights. He mentioned that he knew two of the deputies who patrol Anna Maria, and the deputy politely told him that knowing those people would have no bearing on the outcome of his being stopped. During the questioning, the deputy noticed the suspect’s eyes were watery. The suspect blamed it on lack of sleep. The deputy smelled marijuana inside the suspect’s car and inspected the interior with negative results. He let the suspect go.

Holmes Beach

3/2, 2 p.m., burglary to a vehicle, 500 block of 68th Street. The officer was assisting the detective in finding the owners of some recovered stolen items. He used the homing portion of a GPS device, and it showed its owner lived on the above-mentioned block, but it did not give the exact address. The officer went door-to-door and found a resident who said he owned such a device, but it was in his glove box. When he checked, it was missing. The officer checked another GPS, and it said it belonged to that resident. A neighbor claimed the first unit and the second unit was returned to the original residence.
