Reports taken from April 26 to May 5
A losing combination
Charleston police on April 27 responded to calls about a disturbance outside a West Ashley apartment building on Ashley Crossing Drive. The caller told police that a woman drank “several mini bottles” of tequila while smoking marijuana. When police arrived, she “threw herself on the ground” and became belligerent and confrontational. Guess the booze beat out the weed this time.
We don’t remember that lesson
A downtown man on April 26 admitted to Charleston police that he was breaking glass bottles against a wall outside of a Cumberland Street bar. “But it was in self-defense,” he said, according to a police report. We aren’t sure what self-defense classes he’s taking, but they’re clearly different from ours.
Know when to hold ‘em …
A group of three juveniles on April 27 reportedly stole $1,437.52 worth of merchandise from six different King Street stores. The straw that broke the camel’s back was a $732.86 haul of clothes from one location, with which they were caught by the store’s manager before they were able to leave.
The age-old question
Mount Pleasant police on April 26 responded to a Canebreak Lane residence after receiving reports of gunshots in the area. Upon arrival, several people at the house told officers they were just shooting off fireworks and having a party. Police told the partygoers to settle down a bit, and lay off the booms, but otherwise have a good time.
