The Blotter is taken from reports filed with area police departments.
Blotter of the week: Someone stole Charleston Animal Society’s pot-bellied pig, Piggy Stardust, on Nov. 26, according to the North Charleston Police Department. Six days later, NCPD detectives arrested a 31-year-old man who confessed to the crime, police said. They returned Piggy Stardust to her home at the shelter. Let’s hope she’s listening to some relaxing David Bowie tunes.
Hangry for love
Charleston police officers responded Nov. 23 to a report of an aggressive man threatening to “kill everyone” on the corner of King and Wentworth streets. The report stated that the man was also “throwing books into the street and demanding biscuits at a restaurant that does not serve biscuits.” He was arrested for disorderly conduct. You can’t make this stuff up.
Yet another shooting
A man showed up Nov. 27 at the Awendaw-McClellanville Consolidated Fire Station off of U.S. Highway 17 North and reported that he was at a bonfire when he felt like something bit him, according to a Charleston County Sheriff’s Office report. Turns out, it was a bullet. The man said he was too drunk to know exactly where the bonfire was. Two people from the area reported to the authorities that they heard gunshots that night.
