Reports taken from May 19 to May 26
Emphasis on the ‘Dash’
Mount Pleasant police on May 19 stopped a speeding driver on Whipple Road for reportedly traveling 20 mph over the speed limit. The driver told officers she was a DoorDash driver and she didn’t want to be late on delivery. You know what, that’s good service. Five stars for effort.
Can’t catch a break
North Charleston police on May 24 nearly finished clearing from a traffic incident on Rivers Avenue when a Toyota Camry rear-ended a Chevy Impala (twice, actually) at the same intersection, according to a report. We feel for you, guys. Some days we just want to go home, too.
That checks out
A Charleston man on May 20 allegedly stole about $1,000 from a Folly Road department store and then used the money to buy a Playstation 5, new gaming headphones, a controller and a copy of Grand Theft Auto, according to Charleston police. At that point, man, since you’re playing Grand Theft Auto in real life, why bother with the game?
It’s that time of year again
Several people across the Charleston area had bicycles stolen between May 19 and May 26, according to police reports. Consider this a public service announcement for the summer: Don’t just leave your bike leaning against the wall while you go to McDonald’s for a Big Mac. Otherwise you’ll be burning those calories right off with a long walk.
Brings back memories
A North Charleston man on May 26 reportedly stole a case of Corona beer from an Ashley Phosphate Road convenience store by hiding it in a backpack. That reminds us of our college days — not the shoplifting part, just the hiding-beer-in-your-backpack part. Promise.
