Reports taken from June 27 to June 29
Caught chicken-handed
North Charleston police on June 28 responded to a shoplifting report at a Remount Road gas station after a man reportedly stole a hot dog, a chicken sandwich, a bag of Doritos and a handful of condiments. Police found the suspect, who led them on a chase through some woods before he was ultimately caught and searched. Officers found the chicken sandwich still in his pocket with a relish packet. Wonder if his fingers were stained orange from the chips?
Impressive party, big pain
Mount Pleasant police on June 29 detained 64 kids after busting a house party on Cottingham Drive that involved underage drinking. According to police, the party host claimed she didn’t know anyone was drinking alcohol, and that it was originally supposed to only be about 30 people before it got out of hand. Yeah, yeah, we’ve seen all the teen party movies, too, kid. Police called each kid’s parents to pick them up, resulting in a very long night for everyone involved.
Good question
North Charleston police on June 28 detained a juvenile after a foot chase on Suzanne Drive. They found him with a bag of marijuana and took him home. But then another kid arrived and started yelling, “How did you get caught?” Then he scooted inside to yell at officers some more — from a safer distance, though, according to police.
He wasn’t a Ralph Lauren
A North Charleston clothing store manager on June 27 told city police that a man entered the store and stole seven Polo shirts and six pairs of Polo shorts, amounting to a total of $1,625. Police noted the suspect reportedly walked with a limp, meaning he probably won’t be wearing these clothes to actually play polo. What a waste.
