Reports taken from Feb. 28 to March 10
When nature calls
Charleston police on Feb. 29 confronted a woman who passersby said “urinated” on a Meeting Street sidewalk. The woman corrected officers, telling them she “went number two,” instead. Police told her she couldn’t do that, to which she replied, “Why not?” Stay classy, Charleston.
Adjacent to the grid
Mount Pleasant police on March 5 investigated a Pleasant Pines Street home after receiving reports of a potential squatter. The man inside told police he had lived there for over a month and showed them receipt of property taxes paid under his name, despite never activating water or electricity in the home. He’s not quite off the grid, but he’s inching away, for sure.
Free. Independent. Local. And no paywall.
A North Charleston man on March 8 reportedly stole a newspaper from a Remount Road grocery store. This is just a friendly reminder that the Charleston City Paper is always free to all readers in print and online. The newspaper is available at several convenient locations across the Lowcountry. No thievery necessary!
Better late than never
A Mount Pleasant woman told officers on March 10, after being pulled over on Mazzy Lane, that her license was suspended, she had recently smoked a bunch of marijuana and that there was an open bottle of vodka in the car. When officers told her her license plate was stolen, she said she didn’t want to talk to officers anymore. Good call.
Not-so-empty threats
A downtown man on Feb. 28 reportedly threatened to “burn the building down” after getting into an altercation at a King Street bar. Police investigated, and reportedly found a 33 gram bag of marijuana and a 4 gram bag of cocaine. See, when you’re carrying that many illicit substances, maybe it’s best not to threaten to commit arson in public spaces.
