Reports taken from Sept. 1 to Sept. 6
Really confident
A West Ashley couple on Sept. 2 reportedly attempted to steal a bag full of clothing from a Walmart in West Ashley but decided to stop for McDonald’s on the way out. The quick bite gave security enough time to review the store’s video footage, confirm shoplifting and contact Charleston police, who later charged them with shoplifting.
And another thing!
Two North Charleston kids on Sept. 6 reportedly entered a Commander Road man’s front year, kicked his bicycle and then ran off. But just a little later, the kids returned, stole the bicycle — and another one — and then fled again, this time on wheels. North Charleston police are still investigating.
Geez, kid
Mount Pleasant police on Sept. 1 stopped a truck for speeding on Coleman Boulevard. When speaking to the driver, however, police found more than 30 sealed cans of alcoholic beverages as well as one open container. All of the occupants admitted to being under 21, but one passenger claimed all of the drinks were his and he had been drinking in the truck the night before. He was ticketed for possessing alcohol, and the driver was cited for speeding.
So much for ‘normal’
A Greenville man on Sept. 1 called Charleston police to report a Charleston man that he previously met was posting “cryptic” social media messages, including threats to “drop 30 people.” The caller told the police the man was otherwise “normal.” Police said they were unsure if the man even lives in Charleston anymore. The investigation is ongoing.
