Reports taken from July 11 to July 19
Who needs breadcrumbs?
Someone on July 11 apparently broke into a Mount Pleasant home on Foxwood Drive and tracked white paint through the backyard, garage and residence. Town police investigated, noting that nothing seemed to be stolen or out of the ordinary — aside from the white footprints all over the house. Well, at least it shouldn’t be too hard to find the culprit.
Did we read that right?
North Charleston police on July 11 responded to a Tanger Outlet Boulevard clothing store after employees complained about two people grabbing $2,574.99 worth of children’s clothes and running out of the store. We imagine that’s just the start of these folks’ back-to-school shopping. Excited to see how many pencils they can grab next time.
There’s always one
Charleston police on July 17 approached a man sitting on a Meeting Street curb underneath a “No Loitering” sign. Not a big deal, but when police asked him to move, he stood shakily, slurred, nearly fell over the curb and tried to fight the officer. Yeah, that’ll do it. He was arrested for public intoxication.
‘Problem vessel’
An abandoned boat bobbing in Town Creek gave police more trouble on July 19 than expected. After previously sinking in the Wando River, having multiple hatches open to the elements and multiple parts stripped from it, the boat was marked as “derelict.” The owner, an Awendaw man, was contacted, and he has until Aug. 9 to respond or forfeit ownership.
Just kidding
Mount Pleasant police on July 11 stopped a man riding a bike without a front light about 2 a.m. The man told police he was on his way to the convenience store to pick up some items to “roll a blunt and smoke weed outside the store.” Officers searched the man, finding nothing, and released him with a “warning.” Ha, pranked.
