Reports taken from Oct. 29 to Oct. 31
Expensive cardboard
Two Mount Pleasant juveniles on Oct. 29 reportedly attempted to steal two boxes of NFL trading cards and two boxes of Pokemon trading cards from a Proprietor’s Place Wal-Mart. Security footage showed them stuffing the boxes — worth about $170 — into a backpack before being read their Miranda rights and given a family court date.
Some advice
A North Charleston Dollar General employee told North Charleton police on Oct. 31 that a customer gave him $500 in cash and asked him to send him the change via Cash App. He presumably did, but later discovered the cash was counterfeit when he tried to deposit it at the bank. For future reference, anytime a stranger asks you to Cash App them, it’s probably a bad idea.
Call Kutcher
Mount Pleasant police on Oct. 29 were called to a 7th Avenue fire station, after a firefighter sprayed “fart spray” in the bathroom as a prank and some of the firefighters thought it was a criminal issue. The police officers reportedly disagreed. Look, as long as they can put out fires, we don’t think it matters how juvenile their pranks are, but that must have been some nasty stuff if they called the police.
Backwood barbecue
Mount Pleasant police on Oct. 29 responded to a small fire in a forested area near Fresh Meadow Lane. Police found two Lowes Food shopping carts containing burned wood. The investigation is pending, but if you ask us, the police are probably just mad they didn’t get an invite to the cookout.
