Reports taken from Aug. 14 to Aug. 26
You’ve heard of GoldenEye …
North Charleston police on Aug. 22 responded to a Dorchester Road dollar store after a man wearing a “gold glitter face mask” reportedly attempted to steal a shopping cart full of items after breaking the anti-theft pole from the cart. Police arrested the suspect after a “lengthy foot pursuit,” effectively ending this potential Bond villain’s reign of terror.
Impressive?
People complained to police Aug. 26 after a downtown man lying on a King Street sidewalk pointed “finger guns” and then ran across the street in the middle of traffic. Charleston police arrested the man for public disorderly conduct, but honestly, we think he was just practicing for the new Frogger event at the next Olympics.
Messy getaway
Two North Charleston women on Aug. 25 were chased out of an Ashley Phosphate Road store after reportedly stealing about $150 in wigs. During the scramble, one of the women apparently dropped her car keys, which a store employee turned in to North Charleston police. If there was an Uber for getaway drivers, she would surely get 0 stars.
Cross-eyed crook
A Mount Pleasant woman on Aug. 14 told town police she believed someone tried to break into her apartment after she found damage to the drywall near the back door. Officers noted the damage to the wall — repeat, not the door — but nothing seemed to be missing. Whoever the would-be burglar was, they have some bad aim.
Ahh, you got me
Police responded Aug. 23 to a call of a drunk North Charleston man who reportedly stood on another man’s front porch trying to get inside the house. The man told officers it was his cousin’s house. When they asked where he actually lived, the man admitted to sleeping in the woods.
