A woman was arrested on suspicion of burglary after a homeowner discovered the woman’s purse and sweater on the kitchen counter inside his condo Tuesday night. The suspected burglar later said she may have been drugged and taken to the condo.

The victims chose not to pursue charges when they realized nothing had been taken from the home, according to an incident report from the Bay County Sheriff’s Office. However, the woman already was wanted on a warrant for failure to pay traffic fines and was booked into the Bay County Jail when she came to retrieve the purse and sweater.

The sequence of events started when a Panama City Beach man came home shortly after 10 p.m. and found a woman’s purse and sweater on the counter, the report said.

A deputy who checked the purse found several items with a woman’s name and phone number on them, according to the report. He called the number and reached a young woman who said the purse belonged to her uncle’s girlfriend.

The deputy told the young woman he had found the purse and that the owner could pick it up from him at Treasure Island Condominiums off Thomas Drive, the report said. The woman told the deputy the owner of the purse would be driving a silver F-150 Ford pickup.

Ten minutes later, a truck matching that description drove past the condos slowly, then sped away. The deputy stopped the truck and found that the purse’s owner was a passenger in the vehicle, the report said.

She had an outstanding warrant for failure to pay a traffic fine, so he placed her under arrest. She told the deputy that she believed she had been drugged Tuedsday night while at a bar with a friend, and she didn’t know how her purse got into that condo.

While en route to the jail, the deputy received word that the condo owner had spoken to his wife and they did not wish to press burglary charges. The purse was returned to the owner at the jail, the report said.

PANAMA CITH BEACH - Two Panama City Beach men were arrested in connection to a burglary after they allegedly crawled through the ceiling of two Hot Water Car Wash offices and stole an unknown amount of money - mostly in quarters - and then tried to cash in the change at Walmart.

The report does not specify what charges the two suspects face.

The burglary happened sometime Tuesday night, according to an incident report.

Panama City Beach police arrested the suspects when they attempted to cash in “a large quantity of quarters” at the beach Super Walmart, the incident report said. Police also found the suspect’s vehicle with several tools inside it, the report said.

According to the business owner, he had gone to his car wash off Hutchison Boulevard Wednesday morning and saw that it had been burglarized. He found tools inside the business that belonged at his other business location off Thomas Drive, and he soon confirmed that the other location had been burglarized as well.

He said at both offices it appeared that men had climbed on top of the automatic car wash machine and entered into an attic space in the ceiling, crawling along until they could access an office storage room. From there, they accessed the backs of the money machines, where coins and cash were stored.

The machines were damaged by being pried open just wide enough to fit a hand inside and reach the money, the report said. It is believed the suspects exited the same way they entered.

Some of the tools found in the suspect’s car had been stolen from the car wash, the report said.

A Panama City man was treated at a local hospital on Sunday for injuries he suffered after two men beat him with a pipe and brass knuckles when he stopped to help a person whose vehicle appeared to be disabled.

The 19-year-old victim said he saw a vehicle County 22 near Lone Wolf Security that appeared to be disabled. He described it as a primer gray or silver older model Chevrolet or GM single cab, 1970s model. When he went to the passenger side of his vehicle to get jumper cables, two men attacked him, according to a Bay County Sheriff’s Office incident report.

He described one as about 5-foot-9, stocky build, with a mustache and goatee, and the other as about 6-feet tall with a larger build. The first man pushed the car door against him and then struck him with brass knuckles, hitting him on his lip. He was hit a second time on the side of his right eye, the report said.

The second man hit him in the upper arm with a crow bar or metal pipe. During this, the first man kept demanding the victim’s wallet and money, but the victim told him he had no money.

Someone drove by and yelled at them, which gave the victim time to get into the car and drive away, the report said.

The victim’s injuries consisted of a bruise and abrasion inside his bottom lip, two cuts on the right side of his right eye, and bruising under his right arms near the armpit, the report said. He said his shoulder had been dislocated and he was able to put it back in place.

He managed to drive to his girlfriend’s mother’s residence, and she brought him to the hospital.

There are no suspects at this time, the report said.
