Reports taken from Aug. 8 to Aug. 19
Time to call the Ghost Hunters?
A West Ashley woman on Aug. 11 told Charleston police that she was “losing her mind” after the apparent theft of more than $36,000 in jewelry from her Ashley Town Center Drive apartment. She explained there was no sign of forced entry, and she was the only person with the door code to enter her apartment. The investigation is ongoing.
Detective work
Mount Pleasant police on Aug. 8 searched a vehicle during a routine traffic stop and found a mug in the cup holder with the words “A blunt a day keeps the bullshit away” on the front. Also in the car were two pill bottles containing “a green, plant-like material.” This is a friendly reminder that if you’re going to break the law, don’t be so obvious.
Should have tried “Dragon stance”
A Charleston police officer on Aug. 15 responded to calls about a disruptive person at a West Ashley gym. He then confronted the suspect, who reportedly took a “defensive stance,” took his shoes off and said, “I have bond money.” The man was arrested after being held at Taser-point. Sorry, Jackie Chan, turns out Taser beats kung fu.
Hungry hungry cater-burglar
A North Charleston man on Aug. 19 told North Charleston police several household items were stolen from his Pinoca Lane residence, including a TV, a stereo system and candlestick holders. The real crime here, though, may have been the roughly $100 worth of meat apparently taken from his fridge. And right before Labor Day!
