Reports taken from Feb. 14 to Feb. 15
Interesting choice
A North Charleston man on Feb. 14 reportedly stole a Waldorf Streichfett Synthesizer from a Dorchester Road pawn shop by hiding it under his shirt while he was selling an item of his own. Now, certainly there is no musical instrument that is easy to hide under one’s shirt, but a synthesizer cannot be the easiest.
Ever heard, ‘Be cool?’
Mount Pleasant police on Feb. 15 pulled over a driver for having an expired tag. The driver, however, tried to discreetly hide something under the seat in front of the officer, prompting a vehicle search that police said revealed cocaine, marijuana, ecstasy and a loaded firearm that he was prohibited from carrying. Smooth.
Heavy lifting
North Charleston police on Feb. 15 responded to a Rivers Avenue pizza restaurant where a woman was yelling at staff. When police asked her to leave, she became combative and “due to her large size and low center of gravity,” according to the police report, it was difficult to place her in handcuffs. She was eventually arrested for breach of peace.
CC us on that, please
A Mount Pleasant man on Feb. 15 told Mount Pleasant police that his neighbor had stolen his personal journal and had been making threats specific to people and incidents recorded in the journal. The neighbor reportedly told the man, “$50,000 will make this go away.” Whatever ended up happening next, that was one expensive diary.
