Reports taken from Feb. 15 to Feb. 27
Best wishes
A West Ashley woman on Feb. 16 reportedly badgered employees at a Savannah Highway car lot, asking to sniff their butts and if they had any beer. Look, it’s kind of cute when dogs do it — we guess — but when it’s a drunk grown woman, it starts to get a little less cute. Officers arrested her for disorderly conduct and took her to jail, where maybe she had better butt-sniffing luck.
Maybe next time
North Charleston police on Feb. 27 arrested a man after he allegedly stole four bottles of wine from a Montague Avenue convenience store. Police confiscated his wallet, which held gift cards for McDonald’s, Chick-fil-A and Walmart. Too bad he didn’t have a gift card for the liquor store.
Gotta start somewhere, right?
An downtown man working at a Meeting Street gas station on Feb. 15 watched another man stuff several items into his jacket pockets while wandering the store. When the man walked up to the register, he took a candy bar from one of the pockets, paid for it, and left without paying for the other items, which the employee told officers were an unknown mix of merchandise. The investigation is ongoing.
Whoa, that’s new
A North Charleston man on Feb. 27 turned in a wallet he found outside a Dorchester Road store about a week earlier. In a shocking twist of fate, however, the wallet still had $178 cash in it — as well as two ID cards to help officers locate the rightful owner, once they get over the initial surprise, of course.
