Reports taken from March 15 to March 21
Keep us posted?
Mount Pleasant police received a call on March 15 from a woman claiming a man was trying to steal her house, and that he had cloned her using “deep fake technology” after a dispute with a police officer in Canada. She then added that the man is involved with Dragon Con (a national pop-culture convention held in Atlanta), which she said is a cover for a human trafficking crime ring. Officers said they would document the information. OK.
All that … for that?
A North Charleston man on March 21 reportedly led city police on a car chase down several city streets before diving out of the car and running on foot. Officers tracked him down with help from the driver’s mother (and the K-9 unit surely helped) and arrested him. Searching the path he had run, officers recovered only a single small rolled marijuana cigarette. Next time man, just gamble on the warning.
That just sounds fake
Mount Pleasant police on March 17 pulled over a driver on Long Point Road for a burnt out tail light. However, the stop soon after revealed the driver had three unidentified pills in an unmarked bottle. A quick search on “drugs.com” (yes, really), told the officer that the pills were likely used to treat bacterial infections, but required a valid prescription. The driver was let off with a warning, but the pills were confiscated.
That was some good luck
North Charleston police on March 21 investigated a car parked in a space at a closed public park. Officers ran the IDs of all the occupants, saying that they’d need to leave since the park is closed, but the driver’s ID came back with a warrant through Horry County. Police contacted the county to confirm the hit, but after 45 minutes with no response, released the man with a warning to “take care of the warrant.”
