Reports taken from April 28 to May 15
Get David Duchovny on the phone
A North Charleston man on May 15 told city police that somebody apparently stole more than $2,000 in construction materials from a Cross County Road construction site. Security footage captured lights turning on and off in the area, but no suspect. Extra creepy: A stack of cabinets in one frame and gone in the next. Come on, you can practically hear the X-Files theme.
Caught red-meat-handed
A West Ashley man on April 28 reportedly stole about $250 worth of shrimp, steak and other meats from a West Ashley grocery store. When confronted, the man told the manager of the store he “put the items back,” (he did not), and then ran out of the store with his bag.
It’s really not funny
A slow-moving vehicle reportedly struck a Mount Pleasant man May 1 while he rode his bicycle on West Coleman Boulevard. He told town police he stopped to wait for the car to move, and when it didn’t, he began to pedal. At that same moment, the car moved forward, leading to a collision that knocked him down. Fortunately, nobody was hurt.
Fancy seeing you here
Charleston police on April 29 escorted a drunken man and woman out of a Folly Road restaurant and into an Uber, a process that ended up being far more complicated than necessary due to their impairment. But while on a later patrol, the officer found the man again, stumbling into a nearby roadway, where he was arrested. Guess everyone had a little too much faith in that Uber.
Scared of her own shadow
A Mount Pleasant woman on May 1 called town police after she saw what she thought was a truck parked outside her home and a man attempting to break in through a window. Police searched the area, finding no truck and no evidence of a break-in attempt, and the woman later said she could have just seen a shadow and went inside to sleep for the night.
