Reports taken from March 31 to April 13

He just likes to run

North Charleston police on April 13 chased a shirtless man along Dorchester Road, around a hotel and through a car wash before eventually catching him. Police did not note why the man was running, but they arrested him for breach of peace and trespassing.

Vivid description

Charleston police stopped a downtown man on March 31 while he was walking his dog near Colonial Lake because officers said he โ€œappeared to be grossly intoxicated.โ€ Upon closer inspection, police noted โ€œalcohol beverage emanated from his person.โ€ Weโ€™re going to choose to take that description literally, and invite that guy to all future City Paper parties. 

Allโ€™s well that ends well

A three-person argument regarding neighborhood parking on April 14 led to threats of lawsuits and a call to the Mount Pleasant police. When officers arrived, they reported they mediated the situation and all three parties shook hands, moved their vehicles and apologized โ€” a (mount) pleasantly surprising outcome. 

Asking politely

A downtown man on April 1 threatened to beat up another man in front of officers after their kids got into an argument and a bicycle was thrown into a lake. Officers told the men not to get any closer, to which one of them asked to โ€œget at least one punch in.โ€ Bold ask. 

At least he knocked

A Mount Pleasant man on April 14 answered a knock on his apartment door to find a man in his underwear who immediately tried to enter the apartment. The would-be intruder later told police he thought he was trying to enter his own apartment, and police noted that he appeared to be more-than-a-little intoxicated.
