Reports taken from Aug. 25 to Sept. 2
Well, you got your answer
A downtown Charleston man on Aug. 25 reportedly stripped naked during a police investigation to prove that he had nothing on his body. Police noted he was never asked to do this, and they were, in fact, investigating whether he was intoxicated. Yeah, so that’s a mystery, all right.
Trick up his pants
A North Charleston man on Sept. 2 allegedly threatened to shoot a U.S. Highway 78 apartment resident with a handgun. But it reportedly “fell out of his pants” while he was belligerently swinging his arms against the front door of the resident’s apartment. This is not the coolest way to draw a gun we’ve heard of, but it’s not the worst we’ve seen either.
That’s a new one
Mount Pleasant police on Sept. 2 pulled over a woman for suspected driving under the influence. She reportedly told officers she was not driving — she was the only person in her vehicle — while refusing to comply with field sobriety tests. The woman eventually cracked and admitted to drinking three vodka seltzers before getting behind the wheel. Perhaps she should have stuck to the first story. It was just stupid enough to work.
A cautionary tale
North Charleston police on Sept. 2 arrested a man after a routine traffic stop revealed several plastic bags of various rock-like substances, all of which tested positive for fentanyl, in the back seat of his rental car. What got the cops’ attention? A Black Dodge charger turned without signaling. Classic.
