Reports taken from March 21 to March 30
We get it
A West Ashley man on March 21 reportedly stole a camping stove and a firestarter from a Folly Road department store. We aren’t condoning theft, of course, but with how expensive housing is getting, we totally understand the desire to flee society and live in the woods instead.
Can’t win for losing
North Charleston police on March 30 approached a man who officers reportedly witnessed drinking a can of beer while sitting on an electrical box near Stall Road. Police told him it was illegal to drink in public, and the man quickly pulled a second beer from his pants pocket and began pouring it out on the ground. He was arrested for drinking in public. But come on, we think he did his best.
Be forewarned: Spring brings porch pirates
A North Charleston man told police on March 29 that a Walmart package containing two picture frames was stolen from his front porch. Security footage showed a suspect take the package and ride away on a bicycle. Ah, the weather is warming, and the pirates are back on wheels. Must be springtime in the Lowcountry.
Parking problems
A Mount Pleasant man on March 31 told police he woke up that morning to see what looked to be egg coating the outside of his bedroom window. The man said he believed it was his neighbor’s doing, as they recently had a disagreement about parking, but we know the truth: Easter Bunny, you can’t keep getting away with this.
