Reports taken from June 17 to June 23
Nice try
A downtown woman arrested by Charleston police on June 19 attempted to escape the back of officers’ patrol car by unbuckling herself and reportedly kicking at the middle partition, the inside of the doors, and even the back windshield. Don’t worry, though, police noted her attempts were far from successful.
That’ll do it
A Mount Pleasant woman on June 21 reportedly hit a concrete pillar at a Spotted Owl Drive gas station with her car. Police reportedly asked her if she had been drinking, and the woman replied, “I had two 12 liters of …” before trailing off. Any time you’re about to measure your drinking in liters, you’d be better off keeping your mouth shut.
Fast and furious
North Charleston police on June 20 attempted to stop a speeding Chevrolet Suburban in the Chicora Cherokee area. The vehicle was reportedly speeding above 100 mph before the driver reportedly lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a tree. Sorry, Vin Diesel, we almost had your newest crew member.
Slipped away
Charleston police on June 17 attempted to arrest a downtown man who officers saw “meticulously placing white powdery substance into a $20 bill,” according to a report. But when the arresting officer grabbed the man, he reportedly slipped out of his shirt and got away by jumping from a second-story window. Heard in the background: Paul Simon’s “Slip Sliding Away.”
Inflation frustrations
A North Charleston woman on June 23 reportedly got into a verbal altercation with employees of a Remount Road dollar store which ended with her “throwing items around” inside the building and yelling profanities and racial slurs. Listen, we know inflation is rough right now, but that isn’t the way to fix it.
