Reports taken from May 1 to May 30
We get it, but …
Mount Pleasant police on May 27 responded to a U.S. Highway 17 department store after the manager told police a customer was “cussing and causing a disturbance” over his desire to build a treehouse on the store’s property. The manager reportedly told him he could build a treehouse on his own property, after which the man angrily left the area. Listen, we love treehouses as much as the next guy, but maybe try your own backyard instead.
What was the plan here?
Charleston police on May 1 arrested an apparently drunk driver in West Ashley, and officers arranged his passenger, who was also reportedly drunk, a ride home. Less than an hour later, the passenger reportedly returned to the traffic stop behind the wheel of a separate vehicle. He was arrested, too.
Party time
Three North Charleston men on May 30 reportedly stole between 10 and 15 e-cigarette cartridges from a Remount Road smoke shop, according to North Charleston police. The store manager told officers it was the second time the group has done this. All that we can think is, “Wow, we should hire these guys for Best of Charleston next year instead of renting a fog machine.”
That narrows it down
A North Charleston woman on May 29 told North Charleston police that a TV she ordered for delivery in February had not arrived. The woman told police she did not have a description of the TV or any information regarding it other than that it was bought from Wal-Mart and that it was supposed to have been delivered by an Uber driver. We’ll just chalk that up as yet another reason to keep your receipts.
Karen-tankerous behavior
North Charleston police on May 30 arrested a North Charleston woman for public intoxication after she called police about an Aviation Avenue store’s employees reportedly being “rude” to her. Police noted that after officers arrived, she began arguing with the store’s staff and displayed “cantankerous behavior” that ultimately led to her arrest.
