Reports taken from April 10 to April 21
Get J.K. Simmons on the phone
A North Charleston woman’s home alarm went off April 10, prompting a response from North Charleston police. The homeowner told officers her son frequently tries to enter the house through the rear window instead of the door. Follow-up question: When he comes in through the window, is he dressed as Spider-Man?
Still waiting for an answer
A Charleston man on April 14 reportedly stole a bicycle from a West Ashley by taking it off the shelf inside the store and riding it out and onto the road. You know, as kids, we always wondered why more people who wanted to steal a bike didn’t try that. Guess we’ll find out soon.
We love a good explosion
North Charleston police on April 21 responded to Mole Lane after a dumpster reportedly exploded. Responding officers spoke with a child on the scene who said someone threw a propane tank into the big bin, which later exploded and caught fire. That kid probably had the best day of his life.
C- effort at best
North Charleston police on April 19 arrested a North Charleston man for reportedly speeding down Remount Road above 100 mph and weaving in and out of traffic. Police noted that the man was using his turn signal to change lanes, which is a lot more than several other Charleston-area drivers we’ve read about.
Vacation vexations
A male guest in a Johnnie Dodds Boulevard hotel room on April 22 told Mount Pleasant police that he and his wife got into a loud verbal altercation over her “nagging him all the time when he just wants to relax,” according to a police report. At no time did the altercation become physical, police determined.
