Reports taken from Oct. 2 to Oct. 21
A bit more specific, please
Charleston police on Oct. 10 were questioning a drunken man on King Street in an attempt to get him home safely. When officers asked him where he lived, he said, “Across the river.” In most places, that would at least narrow it down, but in downtown Charleston, that hardly means anything at all.
Call Sesame Street
Mount Pleasant police on Oct. 21 pulled over a man suspected of driving under the influence. Officers conducted a field sobriety test, including having him say the alphabet from the letter “D” to the letter “R.” The man failed twice, the second time singing “L, M, N, O, P, Q, U, F, R.” Either someone updated the ABCs to the “UFRs,” or that man is getting a ticket.
Don’t worry, he was fine
A bicyclist apparently struck the vehicle of North Charleston man driving on Ashley Phosphate Road on Oct. 16, according to a police report.. The driver told North Charleston police he saw the rider “flying” before the man ran into his window and demanded between $50 and $100 to pay for the damages to his bike. Listen, we know falling off your bike sucks, but we think this is all a little backwards.
Cop counseling
Two Mount Pleasant women on Oct. 2 called town police after they apparently got into a yelling match over one of them having sex in her bedroom at 4:30 a.m., which disturbed the other. Police told the women there was nothing they could do — both women are adults and live at the house — and advised them to chill out. Honestly, we say party on.
‘Google it’
The phone of a downtown woman’s daughter was allegedly stolen on Oct. 7 after several workers came through her home for an inspection. The woman reportedly called the workers’ company, but was told she would have to “call HUD” to get the situation resolved. She asked who HUD was, and what their number was, to which the person on the other line said, “Google it,” and hung up. We award zero stars for customer service.
