Camouflage?
Charleston police on June 4 arrested a downtown man for public intoxication after escorting him out of an upper peninsula cabaret. Police noted his long-sleeve camo shirt and pants as well as the mismatched sandals. We supposed he was hoping the camouflage would help him hide from officers — oh well.
We’re trying here
Charleston police on June 1 reported that somebody apparently cut through a $500 lock and stole more than $6,000 in construction tools from a shipping container at Magnolia Landing (don’t worry, not one of those). Tools reportedly taken included two chainsaws, an electric generator, an impact drill and a circular saw. Here’s hoping investigators can cut through the muck to find the culprit. Right, guys?
Well haggled, sir
A North Charleston man on June 5 refused to pay his cab fare after getting a ride from a bus station to various hotels, a McDonald’s and finally back to a hotel. The $90 bill was apparently too much for the man, who said he felt $45 was more than fair. Once police arrived, the man said he wouldn’t pay a single cent. He got one more trip — free of charge — right to jail.
Braap braap!
Four Mount Pleasant kids on June 4 reportedly blitzed down Tupelo Forrest Drive, popping wheelies past patrolling officers on electric dirt bikes — yes, again. When police flipped on their blue lights, the kids rode through yards, split into two groups and rode into the woods to escape. The investigation is ongoing, but we wouldn’t be holding our breath.
‘Mind your business’
A Mount Pleasant woman called town police on June 4 after a local gas company parked its truck in her driveway, blocking her from leaving for work in the morning. The company reportedly moved upon request the day before, but when she asked again, the driver refused and told her to “mind your business,” according to a Mount Pleasant police report. Officers told her to call again if it happens a third time.
