Reports taken from July 8 to July 20
Going for a swim
Charleston police on July 15 interrupted a downtown woman’s spa day when they found her bathing in the Waterfront Park fountain with a towel wrapped around her head. She was reportedly clothed, but passersby were “alarmed” and “unreasonably disturbed” possibly by what police noted as “feces” she was washing from herself. All right, then.
Road tantrums
North Charleston police on July 20 received report about road rage on University Boulevard involving a man who reportedly stuck his tongue out at a woman while driving, causing her to give him the middle finger, which then led to him ramming his vehicle into hers, shatter her window and denting the driver’s side door. This calls for a pretty heavy time-out, we think.
Shiny bread crumbs
A Mount Pleasant man on July 8 told Mount Pleasant police that his elderly mother’s jewelry was possibly stolen, as the jewelry box was knocked onto the floor open, and various pieces of jewelry “trailed into the bathroom.” Police noted nothing appeared to be missing, as all items appeared to have a matching pair. Did the house have a cat … or a gremlin?
Stay cool
A West Ashley man on July 12 reportedly stole two air-conditioning units from a Magwood Drive home goods store according to Charleston police. There’s a lot to unpack here (and we don’t mean the AC units) — shoplifting two hefty machines is impressive, for one. And we know it’s hot out there, folks, but maybe start with one of those battery-powered fans.
Magnificent seven
Someone apparently stole seven pairs of jeans from a North Charleston store on July 20, according to a police report. A security guard reportedly watching security cameras stepped away for a few minutes to use the restroom. In that short time, the jeans were taken, he told police. Comically perfect timing.
