Reports taken from June 6 to June 8
Christmas in June
A Mount Pleasant man on June 7 told town police that another driver on Anna Knapp Boulevard tried to run him off the road. Then he reportedly reached into the man’s vehicle to try to take his hat and ultimately threw a seashell into the bed of his truck. There was no visible damage to the truck, and hey, the victim got a free seashell out of the interaction. Maybe Santa is just a bit hot-headed during the summer months.
Potty patrol
Charleston police on June 7 received a call from a West Ashley man concerned that he ran over “unknown biohazard material” on Wesley Drive near S.C. Highway 61. The man told the police that an unknown port-a-potty company drives through the area every morning, leaking “fluids” in the roadway. All right, guys, this is serious business. We’re going to need your No. 1 AND your No. 2 guys on this.
Chickened out
North Charleston police on June 6 responded to a Rivers Avenue business after its back door alarm activated. Police cleared the building, finding the backdoor closed, but unlocked with no signs of forced entry or anything out of place. Look, if you’re going to let the alarm scare you off, you’re better off not trying to break in in the first place.
Et tu?
Mount Pleasant police on June 7 pulled over a vehicle known to be driven by a man with a suspended license. Police told the man his license was suspended indefinitely for his failure to pay traffic tickets dated in 2022, 2023 and 2024. While detaining him, police also charged his passenger, a Mount Pleasant woman, with possession of marijuana. Oops.
Actually the worst option
North Charleston police on June 8 discovered an apparently drunken man asleep on the train tracks at the corner of Railroad Avenue and Clifton Street. Police helped him off the tracks and arrested him for public intoxication. Of all the places to pass out while drunk in public, train tracks have to be the actual worst on the list.
