Reports taken from Sept. 18 to Sept. 28
Unhappy meal
A former North Charleston fast food restaurant employee on Sept. 26 reportedly used his vehicle to block a manager in her parking space and banged on her car window with his hand, demanding his final paycheck. After leaving the scene, he went to another restaurant to complain about the same issue, according to a police report.
Just gonna hold onto that
A Charleston man on Sept. 23 entered a downtown hotel without a shirt and a pistol tucked in his pants. He wandered around for a while, apparently intoxicated and then left. Charleston police later caught up to him and confiscated the pistol due to his intoxication, though they said he can pick it up later without issue. Seems like there ought to be a little more of a penalty.
Just kind of sad
Mount Pleasant police on Sept. 18 noticed a car in the driveway of a Seagull Drive home with an open back door. Officers met with the owner of the car, who told them he was sure he closed it earlier. The owner confirmed nothing was stolen and then locked the door. What’s worse, getting robbed or having a thief decide you have nothing worth taking?
Self report
North Charleston police on Sept. 28 found three handguns and 20 grams of marijuana in a vehicle they pulled over for a traffic stop. During the encounter, another man approached officers, saying he rode previously with the driver and one of the guns was his. Yeah, he was detained. Come on man, read the room.
Just dropping by
A North Charleston man on Sept. 26 reported someone broke into his Blackwell Street residence. Security footage showed a man entering through a broken glass door, using the bathroom and heating up a microwave dinner. Despite opening drawers and roaming the house, the man didn’t steal anything — he even brought his own dinner, a police report said.
