Reports taken from Jan. 6 to Jan. 12
Needed a walk
A West Ashley man described as wearing red scrubs and having “feces all over himself” on Jan. 6 reportedly stole a case of beer from an Ashley Crossing store, ripped the box open when outside, chugged one of the beers and walked off with another, leaving behind the rest of the case. There are times when we are left with more questions than answers, and right now, we’re pretty happy that way.
Laundry looting
A North Charleston woman on Jan. 12 told police that several of her clothing items were taken from a Northwoods Boulevard hotel laundry room. The woman said she had left roughly $2,000 in clothes (designer brands, of course) near a washing machine and set a timer for half an hour to check on them. Look, we don’t like to blame victims here, but …
Shaky shaky …
A North Charlston police officer on Jan. 11 left his home to find a large bunch of tree branches had fallen onto his patrol car that he left sitting in his driveway. The officer reported several dents and scratches on the roof and hood of the car as well as a crack in the windshield. It’s been a while since someone pissed off Mayhem, but we’re kind of glad it happened now instead of during hurricane season.
Ah, come on, guys
A downtown man on Jan. 8 reportedly approached the captain of a Meeting Street fire station while drunk, saying he was there “for a ride-along.” Charleston police soon responded and questioned the man. When asked for his name, he reportedly gave his birthday, and he was taken back home. Come on, y’all, this guy gets drunk and wants to hang out with firefighters — isn’t that better than what we usually get?
Wait, that worked?
North Charleston police on Jan. 11 pulled over a car with a busted brake light on Northside Drive, but when engaging the driver, could see several firearms in the vehicle and smell marijuana. Police asked one of the passengers if he had any weapons on him (after identifying the handgun in his waistband), to which he answered, “No.” Police cleared the occupants of any warrants and let off all of them with warnings.
