Reports taken from April 24 to May 4
Jumping to conclusions?
Mount Pleasant police on April 28 chased a stolen vehicle on Long Point Road until it eventually stopped and the occupants fled on foot. Police investigated the vehicle, noted that the seat was very close to the steering wheel and determined the driver was possibly a juvenile. Hold on, why are we so quick to rule out criminal leprechauns or gnomes?
Pièce de résistance
A North Charleston woman on April 24 reportedly walked into a Centre Point clothing store wearing a pink hoody and fuzzy sandals, but reportedly left with a pair of neon pink Crocs she didn’t buy. I think we can let this one go, guys, she was clearly just trying to upgrade the fit from those sandals to a matching pair of high-fashion … Crocs.
Shady business
A downtown man on April 24 told Charleston police that another man put him into a “full nelson” hold because he thought the man had stolen his wife’s purse. When asked where his suspicions came from, the aspiring pro-wrestler told officers the man “looked shady,” but offered no other explanation. He was arrested for disorderly conduct.
Look on the bright side
A North Charleston man on May 2 told city police that someone had been following him for unknown reasons. The man said he has noticed the person when depositing money at ATMs, when going out to eat or heading to work. Well, let’s not panic just yet, maybe he just has a secret admirer? Police noted that they will investigate.
