Reports taken from Oct. 30 to Nov. 3
Made it easy for ‘em
A West Ashley man on Nov. 1 reportedly attempted to steal two boxes of ammunition from a local gun store. When store employees confronted him, police said he attempted to flee, dropping the ammunition, as well as two gift cards and his S.C. driver’s license. The whole thing couldn’t have gone any worse if he had tried.
So close
A North Charleston man on Nov. 3 reportedly pulled into a Remount Road parking lot, but accelerated instead of braking when parking, ultimately ramming his car into the side of a pharmacy. Police said the man went inside to inform the manager of what happened, but then left the scene. Wow, what a roller coaster of almost doing the right thing.
Off balance
An apparently drunken Mount Pleasant man on Oct. 30 was asked to leave a Shadow Drive business, but couldn’t remain on his feet without falling long enough to exit. Police noted the man fell over three separate times while attempting to leave. Officers eventually arrested him, as his plan was to ride his bike home. Yeah, that wasn’t going to happen.
Survival of the fittest
North Charleston police on Nov. 1 responded to Park Circle after receiving calls about three shoeless children left unattended at a park. Officers determined the kids’ babysitter left them there. They aren’t sure about what happened to their shoes, we guess.
Here for a good time
Charleston police on Nov. 1 woke up a man sleeping on East Bay Street, but noticed a shiny lid sticking out of his left pocket in the process. Officers searched him, finding a Margaretville blue agave tequila mini bottle, and soon after arrested him for public intoxication. Napping: nice. Tequila: nice. Sidewalk: not nice.
