Reports taken from May 22 to May 25
More to the story?
Charleston police on May 23 received calls about a man stumbling down King Street, reportedly kicking over every traffic cone along the way (which was many). What reason did he have to kick over the cones? A tragic event in which a traffic cone caused the death of a loved one? Of course not, he was just drunk. Officers arrested him once they arrived.
Lessons unlearned
Mount Pleasant police on May 25 broke up an underage party, educating “20 to 25” kids about the potential consequences of breaking the law while waiting for parents to come pick them up, according to a report. A neighbor, however, later told officers that several kids hid in his front yard before piling into a truck and leaving while police were busy “teaching.”
Unorthodox payment plan
Two North Charleston men on May 23 reportedly engaged in mutual (according to one participant) combat after one failed to make his weekly payment to the other for a car purchased earlier this year. Since there were no witnesses, and both parties disagreed on how the fight started, no charges were filed. But we’re left wondering if this payment plan is an option for student loans.
What’s in your pocket?
A Charleston man on May 22 reportedly stole several bottles of wine from a King Street grocery store by stuffing the bottles in his pants before leaving the store. According to a police report, the store manager followed the man to Grove Street, where he put the bottles into a cardboard box and ran down a side street. Police were unable to find him later.
