Header: THEFT Location:3705 N. Hwy 17, DS Business Name: Pin Ups Bar ZONE:22
Matthew Jarnigan was involved in a verbal altercation within the bar area. He was asked to leave by the bar staff. He left the bar, walked outside and into the package store. Once inside he told the clerk he wanted to speak to the manager. As the clerk left the package store and went into the bar to get the manager, Jarnigan took several bottles of alcohol from the store, left, put them in his car then ran back inside before the staff came back inside. The manager then spoke to Jarnigan and he left. The manager reviewed the video tape and discovered what happened. The manager knew Jarnigan from prior dealings. Deputies went to Jarnigan’s residence in Pierson and arrested Jarnigan. He was transported to VCBJ without further incident.

He stole booze and went BACK INTO THE STORE.

That’s chutzpah.

Or idiocy.

You decide.

So, guy’s running around and decides to not stop for the coppers because he has a suspended license and doesn’t want the truck towed.

Deputy Duggan attempted to stop a 1990 red Chevy pickup that was travelling west on French Ave. from 17-92 for having a tail light and tag light out. The driver refused to stop and turned south onto Sparkman Ave. where he increased his speed. Deputy Duggan shut off all emergency equipment and resumed the speed limit. The vehicle was observed turning west on Greenwood Ave. Seconds later Deputy Duggan turned onto Greenwood Ave and observed the truck turning into the driveway at 920 Greenwood Ave. Deputy Duggan was able to pull in behind the vehicle and activate his warning lights again. The driver was apprehended as he exited the truck. Andrew Furman, 26 of 920 Greenwood Ave, spontaneously stated that he ran from the stop because his DL was suspended and he didn’t want his truck towed. Furman was also found to have an active warrant out of Volusia County for FTA ref. DWLS. His passenger also had a suspended DL, and stated she told Furman to flee so the truck would not get towed. Furman was charged with Fleeing and Eluding an LEO with lights and siren, and DWLS 2nd offense. Total bond was $2000. He was also arrested for the FTA warrant under case #09-12272, bond $1000.

It cost $3,000 in bond for this dude.

BUT… the truck wasn’t towed!
