Reports taken from July 27 to Aug. 8
All fun and games until …
An apparently angry driver leaned out of a window, yelled profanities and pointed his fingers in the shape of a gun as he reportedly followed a man’s car July 27 on Interstate 526. The other driver wisely pulled over at a Charleston police command post on Seven Farms Drive on Daniel Island, but the irked follower kept going. Wonder why? We thought he had something to say.
We got a wiggly one
North Charleston police on Aug. 7 arrested a North Charleston man for breach of peace outside a Rivers Avenue business. The man reportedly thrashed about, attempted to climb out of officers’ arms and “launch himself out of the vehicle” — bumping his head in the process — before calming down. He must have knocked some sense into himself.
Proof of true love
A West Ashley man’s neighbor on Aug. 8 reportedly sprayed his door with a fire extinguisher. The man told officers that his ex-girlfriend recently started dating the neighbor, and that’s why he believed he would do this. Ah, to see new couples demonstrating their love for each other through acts of vandalism. It isn’t even Valentine’s Day.
Rapid-onset drunkenness
A James Island woman on Aug. 6 reportedly bought alcohol at a Maybank Highway convenience store, and began drinking it outside of the building. Police noticed her, and upon making contact, realized she was already “grossly intoxicated.” Now, we’ve known our share of lightweights, but this takes the cake.
