Reports taken from March 12 to March 17
It’s backpacks all the way down
A North Charleston man on March 16 reportedly stole two backpacks from a Northwoods Boulevard store by stuffing one inside the other, then that one inside his own backpack. We never want to root for the alleged thieves, but we were pretty bummed to learn the Russian nesting doll technique doesn’t work.
Still getting used to it
Mount Pleasant police on March 12 found an apparently drunken man laying facedown on Long Point Road being tended to by Mount Pleasant EMS. First responders reported the man gave them “the finger” when they initially approached and that he was unable to tell them what year it was. To be fair, it’s only March, so we’re still writing “2023” every now and then, too.
No pot ‘o gold in there
A North Charleston woman on March 17 reportedly smashed her girlfriend’s car windshield with her foot. North Charleston police didn’t say whether the girlfriend’s car was parked at the end of the St. Patrick’s Day rainbow, but we can be sure there was no gold waiting for her in the back of the police cruiser.
Could have been worse
A Mount Pleasant woman on March 12 reportedly entered a Coleman Boulevard convenience store and asked to use its restroom. When employees told her there wasn’t a public restroom, she reportedly grabbed a bucket from a shelf, urinated in it and left the store with it. At least she took the bucket with her.
