Reports taken from Nov. 1 to Nov. 9
Emergency lawn care
A West Ashley home improvement store on Nov. 3 told Charleston police that a man nonchalantly walked into the store, grabbed two chainsaws and a leaf-blower and walked out. Aside from being impressed by the strength and dexterity of the suspected thief, we’re also curious as to how bad his lawn must be getting.
Settle down, John Wayne
North Charleston police on Nov. 9 detained a North Charleston man suspected of pointing a firearm on Rivers Avenue. Officers found he had an antique black powder revolver but determined from several witnesses that he never brandished it. Guess when it comes to self defense, style points still matter.
First rule of fight club, bro
Charleston police on Nov. 5 responded to multiple soundings of an Ashley River Road business’ alarm, finding a shirtless man who was apparently heavily intoxicated. The man was reportedly “looking for a fight,” and “struggled for several minutes” to put his shirt back on before taking it back off and demanding officers fight him.
What’s the current exchange rate?
Charleston police on Nov. 1 arrested a West Ashley man after he “made a mess” in his brother-in-law’s home — breaking two vases, a glass tabletop, the doorbell and several other objects. Police searched him and found $4.37, a vape and an acorn. We don’t know the value of an acorn off the top of our heads, but it probably isn’t enough to cover the damages.
All-around troublemaker
North Charleston police on Nov. 9 were called to a Dorchester Road business to get rid of a man from the property for belligerent behavior, but while going through the process, several other business employees came out to tell police they wanted him banned from their places, too.
