BLOTTER O’ THE WEEK: A drunk man showed up at his estranged wife’s home, allegedly punching a bird feeder, kicking walkway lights, and head-butting a lamp post. This is why Jerry Springer never went on location.
Stopped while heading the wrong way down a one-way street, a woman was asked during the roadside sobriety test to recite the alphabet from C to R. Officers noted she had to “mouth the letters A and B in order to begin the test properly.”
Threat O’ the Week: “If you take two more steps, I’m going to beat your ass, and you know I can because I am a cage fighter … If you don’t want to fight here, I will kick your ass at Walmart and wax you over.”
A woman claims someone stole her bike after a city employee removed the parking meter it was chained to.
Caught allegedly stuffing two pairs of boxers down his pants at a department store, a 19-year-old claimed he was 16 and blamed it on “peer pressure.”
Items Stolen This Week: Two bikes and a GPS unit
Stolen Item O’ The Week: A weather vane
Ironic Theft O’ the Week: A woman reported that her credit card had been used to purchase anti-virus software online.
A woman claimed she was threatened after calling police about a truck blocking her driveway. Another woman allegedly yelled from across the street, “Wait until the police leave … if you did this kind of thing in New York, you would be killed for it.” And if you made those kinds of threats in New Jersey, you’d have a show on MTV.
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.
