Reports taken from Oct. 10 to Oct. 13
Just follow your nose
Two North Charleston men on Oct. 11 reportedly stole several car air fresheners from a Ladson Road gas station. Employees told city police they couldn’t determine how many air fresheners were taken. But nabbing these criminals should be pretty easy, officers: Just find the nicest-smelling car in North Charleston, and you got your guys.
A little more hustle, please?
Mount Pleasant police on Oct. 13 reportedly attempted a traffic stop on a fleeing U-Haul truck after receiving a call about a reported shoplifting. The drivers of the truck, however, did not stop for officers, and pursuing officers shortly after called off the chase. Come on guys, you let a U-Haul outrun you this time?
The triple whammy
North Charleston police on Oct. 10 pulled over a driver for speeding on Rivers Avenue, but when an officer spoke with the driver, police discovered his license was suspended and there was an open bottle of liquor in the vehicle. This is our semi-regular warning to all drivers: If you’re going to break the law, do it one law at a time.
A little superfluous then
Mount Pleasant police on Oct. 13 pulled over a driver for suspected driving under the influence. The driver reportedly failed every portion of the field sobriety test before a search of her vehicle, where police found a half-empty wine bottle near the front driver’s seat. We bet they weren’t too surprised.
That’s not better
North Charleston police during a regular patrol on Oct. 10 discovered a man hiding behind the dumpster at an apartment complex. Upon discovery, the man told officers not to worry, that he was “just using the bathroom.” Upon further investigation, police confirmed the man was actually smoking crack — and using the bathroom.
