Lawrence Fleury of Delray Beach, Florida was arrested Monday for allegedly stealing a car, fleeing police, and running into an officer, news sources report. Fleury, 31, was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail on charges of resisting arrest, aggravated battery on an officer, and possession of marijuana. It is unclear whether he qualified for bail bond. It is also not yet known whether Fleury hired a defense attorney. According to reports, the incident occurred around 11:50 p.m. in the 300 block of Northwest Fifth Avenue on Monday. A Nissan Altima was apparently parked in the area, but still had its keys in the ignition and was still running. An on-duty officer allegedly witnessed Fleury walk get into the vehicle and drive off. The officer followed Fleury and witnesses him run a stop sign, reports say. Sources say the officer attempted to pull Fleury over, but Fleury fled down Northwest Third Street and ran additional stop signs. Eventually, the Nissan became trapped on a patch of slick grass. The officer exited his cruiser, pointed his firearm at Fleury, and ordered him to stop, but the Nissan started moving again. The car allegedly struck the officer's legs. After striking the officer, Fleury got out of the Altima and attempted to walk away from the scene, sources say. The officer fired his Taser at Fleury, but Fleury allegedly continued to resist and the officer used the Taser two more times. During a subsequent search, the officer located a bottle of Ibuprofen and a bottle containing unidentified white chunks in Fleury's possession. Fleury said a friend lent him the Ibuprofen for a toothache and explained the white chunks as 'homemade breath mints,' reports say. An analysis later revealed that white chunks were pieces of cocaine, sources indicate.

Niara Williams, a Delray Beach, Florida retail clerk, was arrested Monday after she allegedly stole over $1,000 from the Abercrombie & Fitch store where she worked, news sources report. Williams, 19, was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail on charges of grand theft. She was later released after posting $3,000 bail bond. Reports did not specify whether Williams has hired an attorney. According to reports, the theft occurred at Abercrombie & Fitch in the Town Center Mall in Boca Raton. Sources say Williams began working for Abercrombie & Fitch in January 2013. After she was hired, a manager at the store noticed that money was going missing from the store's cash register, sources say. An investigator with the store's loss prevention office began looking into the missing money. They reportedly learned that the shortages occurred on days Williams had been working. The investigators then looked over the store's surveillance footage and reportedly saw Williams stealing money from the store's register. In all, Jones allegedly stole $1,100 over a period of several months. Detectives interviewed Williams later, and she admitted to taking money from the register, reports say. Williams told detectives that she had been going through a financially tough period and needed money to pay her bills. No one else appears to have been involved in the theft.

An officer reportedly witnessed Zuniga swerving and pulled him over. Zuniga stopped his car, but instead of cooperating with the officer, he allegedly leapt from the passenger's side door of his car and ran away. Reports say Zuniga broke through a fence near Westchester Boulevard and 71st Street North and fled through a water treatment plant. Detectives began searching for Zuniga but were unable to find him within the vicinity.

Dan B. Corcoran of Delray Beach, Florida was arrested Sunday for allegedly firing a handgun from his apartment door, news sources report. Corcoran, 35, was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail on charges of firing a weapon in public, using a gun while under the influence of alcohol, and criminal mischief causing more than $1,000 damage to property. He was later released after posting $3,000 bail bond. It is unclear whether Corcoran has hired a defense lawyer. According to reports, the incident occurred at around 11:00 Sunday evening at Corcoran's apartment in the 2200 block of Lindell Boulevard. Witnesses at the apartment complex called the police to report several gunshots in the area. A search revealed 14 bullet holes on Corcoran's apartment screen door. The shots did not injure anyone, sources say, but did strike two cars in the complex's parking lot. Police were unable to find Corcoran at the time. Detectives caught up with Corcoran two days later and confronted him about the shooting. Corcoran said he had been depressed 'over personal issues' on the day of the incident. He came home from the gym that night, began drinking, and decided to fire his gun out of his apartment door, he purportedly said. 'At the time Corcoran was shooting he said he just wanted to shoot his firearm, so he did,' police said. A police report also said '[Corcoran] was not worried about striking a passerby because it was so late at night.' It is unclear where Corcoran went following the alleged shooting. As Corcoran was not charged with unlicensed ownership of a firearm, it does appear as though he had a license to own the gun. In other news, police in Tampa announced that they are looking for a man who stole nearly $2,000 worth of disposable razors from an area Wal-Mart. Surveillance video in the store captured the theft, but police have not yet identified the suspect. An investigation is ongoing.
