The car was stolen after hitting a pedestrian

On Thursday morning, a 26-year-old woman was arrested for allegedly stealing the car that hit her.

Brandon officers responded to a report of a vehicle striking a pedestrian in the 600 block of Victoria Avenue around 8:53 a.m.

When they arrived, they learned that a pedestrian had allegedly taken the vehicle and driven off.

Soon she was tracked down and detained. She was released on charges of car theft and released to court on December 24.

The man was arrested with methamphetamine and a machete

A call from a business in the 100 block of Fifth Street led to the arrest of a 26-year-old man for various offenses early Thursday afternoon.

The business reported the theft to police around 12:21 a.m. Thursday. Police eventually tracked the suspect to the first block of 10th Street, where they say they found methamphetamine and a machete in his possession. In addition, the suspect was issued a bond of release with the prohibition to possess weapons.

He was held overnight and was scheduled to appear in court Friday on charges of theft under $5,000, violation of probation, possession of a controlled substance, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and carrying a concealed weapon.

Intoxicated teenagers were detained

Two teenagers were held in Brandon police cells overnight after the riots.

Police were called to the 300 block of Maryland Avenue at 12:03 a.m. Friday. When police arrived, they say they found two intoxicated 17-year-olds fighting.

After unsuccessful attempts to find a sober adult to take custody of the teenagers, the police placed them in cells to be released when they were sober.
