Reports taken from Sept. 14 to Sept. 21
Got to look both ways
Charleston police on Sept. 14 charged a downtown man with a noise violation after he revved his motorcycle at a dead stop near the intersection of King and Morris streets. The rider reportedly told police he did it for a group of onlookers who asked to hear the bike. The real criminal here: the dude who totally noticed the cops behind the rider and asked him to rev the bike anyway.
Now that’s scary
A North Charleston man on Sept. 21 told city police that a bullet ripped through his apartment ceiling, ricocheted off the wall and came to rest on the floor. Officers collected the bullet, investigated the apartment above and found no evidence of any shots fired — or any resident for that matter. Our best (or maybe just funniest) guess: Rats found a gun?
Tired of the prejudice
A Charleston man on Sept. 20 reportedly stole a small and a large Snickers bar from an unidentified store while his partner rang up her drink at the self-checkout counter. We can only hope that he didn’t just get himself a large candy bar and grabbed a small one for his partner. That would be the real crime.
Bad place for a nap
Charleston police on Sept. 21 found an apparently drunken woman napping in the road on Meeting Street and using the curb as a makeshift pillow. We’re a little jealous of this show off. We have a hard enough time falling asleep at night and here this woman is falling asleep on a concrete mattress with a concrete pillow.
