Reports taken from Aug. 16 to Aug. 26
Advanced tactics
A Mount Pleasant police officer on Aug. 26 reported a “coordinated pack” of three foxes “executing flanking maneuvers” on Camellia Drive, which is near Skoogie’s Hot Dogs. The officer wrote the presumed animal recon team was patrolling the length of the road and “actively trapping” residents walking their dogs. Ten-4, officer. Stand by for backup. Rendezvous at 0600 hours.
Smooth criminal
A downtown man on Aug. 16 reportedly bought a bottle of beer from a Meeting Street gas station and left with it in a paper bag. Minutes later, he returned and claimed the bag tore and the bottle broke on the ground. He demanded the store give him another bottle. When an employee said no, the man allegedly stole one from the shelf and fled on his moped. The investigation is ongoing.
Well, he tried
A North Charleston man on Aug. 21 stole a bottle of tequila from a Rivers Avenue liquor store after his card reportedly was declined three times at the checkout counter. The cashier recorded the man’s license plate and appearance, according to a North Charleston police report. But you know, we kind of get it. When “third time’s the charm” fails, you take matters into your own hands.
Bad to worse
A truck driver on Aug. 21 pulled over on the side of Long Point Road when he struggled to get his 18-wheeler into gear. While stopped and talking to Mount Pleasant police outside the vehicle, its front driver’s side tire blew out, “further disabling his truck,” according to a police report. Well if he didn’t need a tow before, he suddenly did — along with a fresh pair of pants probably.
