A Palm Coast man was arrested Friday night after deputies say he battered a deputy while fleeing from an investigation into a disturbance at a local restaurant.
What we know:
Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to Cantina Louie after a caller reported that an intoxicated man had swung at another customer and been told to leave.
The suspect, later identified as 58-year-old MM, was spotted on an electric bicycle near the Island Walk at Palm Coast shopping plaza, deputies said.
According to the sheriff’s office, M fell into bushes while riding the bike. As a deputy approached and began detaining him, M became belligerent, shoved the deputy and tried to run. Both men fell, and M ran again before tripping in the parking lot. Deputies caught him, and restaurant staff later identified him as the suspect.
M was charged with:
- Battery on a law enforcement officer
- Resisting an officer with violence
- Petit theft
- Providing a false name to law enforcement
Deputies said the e-bike he was riding had been stolen. He was treated for minor injuries at the scene and booked into the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility without bond.
What they’re saying:
Sheriff Rick Staly said M escalated “a relatively minor incident” into a felony, adding, “If you ever lay your hands on a deputy sheriff, I can guarantee that you’ll earn a trip to the Green Roof Inn.”
