The downtown library called police about a man disturbing patrons and staff. Police were able to identify the suspect because he was the only person in the library carrying a fishing rod.
Items Stolen This Week: Four GPS units, three laptops, three iPods, and three bikes.
A homeowner reported that his garage had been broken into. Items stolen included a case of beer and an answering machine. Good luck trying to find a tape for that machine.
Exchange O’ The Week: Officer: “I thought you said you were going home?” Suspect: “Nah, I said I’m going to my homeboy’s house in North Charleston.”

Threat O’ The Week: “I am going to show up to your doorstep prepared.”
The Blotter is taken from City of Charleston police department reports. We’ve added a cartoon and a little commentary. We’ve added a little humor, too. No one has been found guilty. This is not a court of law.
