He and 450 other members of Mayors Against Illegal Guns are being pressured to quit the organization that has a stated mission of "preventing criminals from illegally obtaining guns and preventing those who do from using them."

Costello said he has received many e-mails lately labeling him a gun-control advocate. He is the organization's sole mayor in Volusia and Flagler counties, and one of 40 in Florida.

"The National Rife Association is basically trying to make mayors look like they are against all guns," Costello said. "And that's absolutely not true."...

Home Invasion Robbery

Location: 4 Cypress Circle, Ormond Beach

Date & Time: Sunday September 13^th, 2009 @ 9:30am

***UPDATE #2***

The investigation is continuing to shed more light on the circumstances surrounding the home invasion incident from Sunday morning. The resident/victim Dayne Rollins was acquainted with the Brandy Harris and picked her up from the 7-11 store on Sunday morning. Harris called Rollins a few minutes earlier wanting to smoke marijuana with him at his residence. Rollins arrived at the residence with Harris and they were only inside for a minute or two when suspects Bell and Young abruptly entered the home through the open front door.  Rollins has a roommate staying with him who was identified as Jason Rockwell 30 yoa who was also in the home when the robbery took place. Rockwell was held at gunpoint by Young while Bell confronted Rollins. Rollins was ordered to “give me everything you’ve got” by Bell who was holding a small caliber pistol. Young armed himself with a rifle that was in Rollins’ home and held it on Rockwell. At one point Brandy Harris assisted in the robbery by handing ammunition for the rifle to Young. Rollins gave Bell several hundred dollars in cash and some prescription pills at which time Bell, Harris, and Young left Rollins’ side of the duplex home and went to the other side where Rollins mother lives. At this point Rollins armed himself with the shotgun and confronted the suspects at the front door of his mother’s residence. The suspect’s pointed guns back at Rollins and shots were fired. All three suspects ran to a black Nissan parked at the street. Rollins fired at least 4 shots at the car striking all three suspects. Bell and Harris ran from the vehicle while Young drove off.  Bell was captured by Ormond Beach Police Officer Jay Brennan while trying to hide in some bushes in nearby Milton Pepper Park. Harris briefly sought refuge at a nearby home and then ran to Florida Hospital Oceanside where she sought treatment for a grazing bullet wound to the head. Harris fled from the hospital when she learned that police were being called. Young was captured during a traffic stop in Daytona Beach. Ormond Beach detectives tracked Harris down late Sunday and took her into custody after she agreed to meet at a location in Daytona Beach. Neither Rockwell nor Rollin’s mother were injured in the incident. Rockwell is not considered a suspect and police believe he had no knowledge of the group’s intentions. Detectives do believe that the crime was planned in advance by Bell, Young, and Harris and that Rollins was targeted due to Harris’ knowledge of his keeping cash and medications at his residence.

Detectives have no plans to charge Rollins criminally for his use of the shotgun to fend off the robbers. The shotgun Rollins used however had been modified by sawing off the barrel and stock rendering it illegal to possess. Rollins will be charged with one count of possession of a short barreled shotgun, a 2^nd degree felony.

Car Burglary Alert

 Received from the Ormond Beach Police Dept.

Aug. 28, 2009

The Ormond Beach Police Department is investigating three recent cases of vehicles being broken into while parked at the YMCA located at 500 Sterhaus Dr. in the city. In each of the cases, the victims returned to their cars and discovered a window broken out and their purses and/or wallets missing from the cars.  Investigators have determined that in one of the cases, the culprit(s) used the victim’s credit card within 20 minutes of the break-in. In another case, suspects tried to use a credit card taken in the burglary to make a purchase of over $500.00 at the Target store in Daytona Beach but were unsuccessful. The victim had quickly reported the theft to the bank and the cards were cancelled prior to the suspects attempt to use it.

Ormond Beach Police obtained surveillance video from the Target store which show two females and a male together when the transaction was attempted. In addition, security cameras captured two possible vehicles being used by the suspects. They were seen entering and leaving the Target parking lot in what appears to be a silver or light blue 4-door passenger vehicle that had no hubcaps. The make of the car is unknown.  The suspects are also believed to be driving a late model silver colored pick-up truck. Investigators working with neighboring agencies have determined that these same suspects may be responsible for other identical crimes at the Deland and Port Orange YMCA’s.

Residents are urged to protect themselves against this type of crime by ensuring that their vehicles are always locked. Items of value should be removed from the vehicles if at all possible or at the very least, hidden from view. Suspicious persons/activity should be immediately reported to police.

Anyone who can identify the suspects or has any information on any of these crimes is asked to contact Ormond Beach Police @ 677-0731 or Crimestoppers @ 277-TIPS or 1-888-277-TIPS

Essential Services Center

Volusia County will be opening an Essential Services Center on Tuesday May 26^th, 2009 in Holly Hill at the recreation center located at 1406 Daytona Avenue. The center is expected to open at 9:00 AM. This location was selected by the County Emergency Operations Center because it is central to the damaged areas for both Holly Hill and Ormond Beach.

During normal business hours (until 6pm), residents can call the Ormond Beach Police Department non-emergency line for information on street closures and to report flooding issues. That number is (386) 677-0731. Anyone needing emergency assistance should dial 911.

Pursuit/Crash

From the Ormond Beach Police Department

Location: US-1 & Hand Ave.  

Date & Time: Wednesday 4-29-09 @ 9:52pm

Ormond Beach Police initiated a missing person’s investigation on Wednesday evening 4-29-09 after Theodore L. Buckels, 55, of 493 S. Halifax Dr. was reported by his wife to be missing after complaining of symptoms of a heart condition. Buckels was reported to have left in his vehicle earlier in the day for medical treatment after feeling faint and experiencing symptoms of high blood pressure. Buckels never arrived at his doctor’s office or any of the area hospitals. An alert was issued for Buckels so that a well being check could be conducted. Police began tracking Buckels via his cell phone and determined him to be driving in the Ormond Beach area but were unable to locate him.

At 9:52 pm, a crash was reported at the intersection of Hand Ave. and US-1. Witnesses reported that a driver struck a power pole in a small pick-up truck. The driver got out of his vehicle momentarily, appeared unsteady on his feet, and then fled in his vehicle southbound on US-1. A Holly Hill patrol officer found the vehicle at Calle Grande and US-1 and attempted a traffic stop.  The driver, later identified as Theodore Buckels did not stop and police began to pursue him southbound on US-1 at speeds of approximately 35 to 40 mph. Ormond Beach units took over the pursuit at Mason Ave. and US-1 when Holly Hill units terminated their involvement.  The pursuit continued into Daytona Beach with speeds fluctuating between 35 and 45 mph and Buckels weaving from side to side within both southbound lanes of US-1.

Ormond Beach Officer Shane Jarrell was ahead of Buckels’ car and the pursuing patrol units, attempting to clear traffic along US-1. Jarrell observed a motorist pull to the side as he yielded to Jarrell’s marked patrol car with lights and siren engaged. Buckels suddenly veered to the right on an apparent collision course with the car. Jarrell quickly pulled in behind the motorist placing his patrol vehicle between the citizen and Buckels car. Jarrell’s intent was to protect the motorist from injury.  Buckels’ 2008 Mitsubishi pick-up then rear ended Jarrell’s patrol car at Trixie St. and US-1.  Buckels’s vehicle coasted to a stop at which time officers attempted to check his condition and remove him from the vehicle. Buckels refused commands to exit the truck and would not open his window or doors. Officers forced entry into the truck and took Buckels into custody. Officer Jarrell was not injured in the crash. Another Ormond Beach police officer suffered minor cuts when Buckels resisted the officers and was taken to the ground. Buckels was transported to the hospital minor injuries. Buckels submitted to a blood test after investigators detected an odor of consumed alcoholic beverages on his person. Damage was estimated at $5500.00 to Officer Jarrell’s patrol car. The vehicle Jarrell pulled in behind was not damaged and the driver was unharmed.

Date & Time: Wednesday April 1^st, 2009

Ormond Beach Police, the Volusia County Sheriff’s Swat Team, and Volusia Bureau of Investigation, assisted the Florida Department of Environmental Protection today in the execution of a search warrant at the above location. The search warrant authorized an excavation at this property to test for lead contamination levels caused by the illegal burying of lead containing debris.  This warrant service was a follow-up to another search warrant served at the home in June 2008. At that time, a working methamphetamine lab was discovered in the home prior to the excavation activities which led to felony charges against the homeowner and his girlfriend. The swat team and VBI agents were utilized in today’s warrant service in the event a similar situation was encountered.  No drug activity was discovered when agents entered the home and DEP was able to initiate the testing activities after the home was secured without incident.   

The Neighborhood Improvement Division of the Ormond Beach Police has been investigating the home owner, 48 year old Robbin Griffiths, for several city code violations since December 2007. The violations included operating a commercial recycling operation in a residential area, lack of building permits, and site maintenance issues.

Griffiths has been engaging in salvage/recycling activities at his residence by collecting items such as old TV’s and computers from various sources including discarded items waiting for trash pickup. The items were then taken to his property and the recyclable metals removed. In May of this year information was received by Ormond Beach Police that Griffiths was disposing of lead containing cathode ray tubes, a component of the computer and TV equipment, by burying the materials in his back yard.

The remainder of city hall was deemed safe to continue normal activities. The FBI was notified and the Volusia County Haz-Mat team was summoned.

The material inside the envelopes was later determined by the Haz-Mat team to be common tea bags. Since there was no hazardous material involved, the FBI turned the matter over to the U.S. Postal service for investigation.  Finance office employees were allowed to return to work late this afternoon.
