Reports taken from Jan. 12 to Jan. 17
In need of a trim
Mount Pleasant police on Jan. 17 received a call about the theft at a Faison Road pharmacy after a man wearing a puffy jacket reportedly stole $1,000 worth of hair products, including several bottles of shampoo, hair serums, conditioners and curling gel. You know, we have been thinking about making a change. Can someone put us in touch?
Perks of the job?
Another theft: cA West Ashley woman on Jan. 12 reportedly stole more than $600 worth of candy and cigarettes from a Maybank Highway gas station that she was supposed to restock for work. Security footage captured her piling the stolen goods into a cardboard box and then faking that she was throwing it away (when she actually was loading it into her car). Pesky cameras. The investigation is ongoing.
A little lost
Charleston police arrested a “grossly intoxicated” man on Jan. 15 after he was reported for stumbling around the ground floor of a Mary Street parking garage with a machete. Police noted that at no point did he threaten anyone with the weapon. We know Charleston has turned into a bit of a concrete jungle lately, but we’re not sure a machete is needed … yet.
Bro, chill out
A North Charleston man on Jan. 17 called city police when another man sat to wait for a tow truck near his property — from which he was banned. Police told the caller that they weren’t going to arrest him for waiting for a tow truck, especially since he wasn’t actually on the property. He requested a supervisor to file a formal complaint.
