The Blotter is taken from reports filed with area police departments between July 13 and July 17.
With a smile
Charleston police on July 13 arrested a man for driving under the influence. After asking him his name, he cheerfully replied, “I don’t know; you tell me.” Maybe not the best way to win friends and influence people. When he was placed in the back of the cruiser, he reportedly asked, “Where are we going?” with a smile. Several empty cans of Bud Light were later found in a backpack in his car.
Parking lot problems
Mount Pleasant police on July 17 responded to a grocery store parking lot on S.C. Highway 41 after receiving a call from a driver that someone was following her. Police stopped both vehicles and the driver of the tailgating car said she “just wanted to talk” about the other driver having cut her off previously. How do you cut someone off in a parking lot?
Natural talent or great practice?
Charleston police on July 13 followed a drone flying near Credit One Stadium during a concert to find its pilot. The pilot confirmed his recreational unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) pilot license to police and showed video proof that he did not fly directly over the stadium. Police requested he keep his drone grounded for the rest of the night, but no charges were made.
