Reports taken from Oct. 8 to Oct. 28
Happy Halloween
Security cameras in a North Charleston liquor store on Oct. 26 recorded a North Charleston man and woman stealing three bottles of liquor worth $704. That’s an expensive Halloween party on its own, but the warrant issued for the suspects might be a bigger party pooper than any bill would have been.
Locked out and up
A Downtown man on Oct. 8 called police when his phone locked up after he failed to enter his password. Fun fact: Emergency numbers still work. Police found him drunkenly stumbling around Meeting Street. After another failed attempt, he was arrested for public intoxication. Next time try our password for pretty much everything: 1234 …
‘Whoops, our bad’
North Charleston police on Oct. 25 handcuffed a man after watching him struggle to get items from a Spruill Avenue donation box. Police believed him to be a man wanted for failure to pay child support, but later determined he was not the suspect in question. Police then released the man from handcuffs, but still made him put the items back in the box. Tough luck all around.
Work on your form, guys
A student at James Island High School on Oct. 23 showed video footage to Charleston police of a reported fight in the school bathroom. Police noted one student “unleashed several punches” at another, who responded by “swinging wildly” and “making limited contact” with the first. Look, we’re not advocating for violence, but if you’re going to be violent, at least be a little better at it.
Tidy up next time
Mount Pleasant police on Oct. 28 investigated a reported shoplifting at a Bowman Road sporting goods store after two women were identified through security footage as repeat offenders at other locations of the same store across the Lowcountry. What gave them away? A pile of security tags left haphazardly behind a clothing rack near where they were standing. Lesson learned: Pick up after yourselves.
