The Blotter is taken from reports filed Dec. 9 to Dec. 16 with area police departments.
Blotter of the week: A combative, drunken patient at Roper Hospital Diagnostics & ER in North Charleston was yelling and screaming Dec. 9 at a security guard and a doctor, according to a North Charleston police report. Officers reportedly had to restrain him and remove him from the hospital. They arrested him for disorderly conduct. Turns out, one of the officers recognized him from earlier in the day when he was passed out behind a dumpster. Small world.
Shattered dreams
A disgruntled employee was captured on camera knocking over a large stack of plates Dec. 12 after being fired from his job at Shem Creek Crab House, according to a Mount Pleasant police report. He reportedly told the manager who fired him, “I’ll see you after work.” The manager requested that police email him a notice not to come back on the property.
Improper gift etiquette?
A man and a woman were fighting at their North Charleston home over a cell phone Dec. 10, according to a North Charleston police report. The man told police officers that he asked the woman to give back the cell phone he recently gifted her, but she returned it to an AT&T store from which it was purchased instead. That’s some serious no takesies backsies.
