Charleston police on Oct. 12 arrested a West Ashley man for skinny dipping in a Fenwick Hall Allee apartment complex’s public hot tub. The man apparently hopped a fence to get in, stripped down and went to lounge in the water, unaware that at least three witnesses were in the process of reporting him to the police. Look, we aren’t going to say he didn’t do anything wrong, but we are going to say this man knows how to enjoy a hot tub.
OK. We get it.
North Charleston police on Oct. 25 arrested a man for public intoxication after officers found him sitting outside a Rivers Avenue fast food restaurant with an open can of beer in his hand and three cases of beer behind him. According to a report, “the suspect was clearly intoxicated,” as you could smell “the alcohol seeping from his pores.” Guess that means you can’t have a beer with your Big Mac at the restaurant.
Just doing it
A Mount Pleasant man and a woman on Oct. 25 reportedly stole more than $5,000 in Nike clothing from a Bowman Road sporting goods store. Security footage captured the pair filling two shopping carts full of apparel, splitting up and slipping out of the store with their ill-gotten gains. Guess they took the slogan a little too seriously.
Potato, tomato
Mount Pleasant police on Oct. 25 stopped to talk with a “clearly heavily intoxicated” man sitting in a chair outside of a Hungryneck Boulevard restaurant. The man told officers (repeatedly) he was going through a divorce, and that he only had three glasses of wine. Inside, officers got his receipt showing eight glasses — or about a bottle and a half. Close enough.
Laying “low”
North Charleston police on Oct. 22 nearly lost a suspect after a car chase ended in a crash that turned into a foot pursuit. When officers lost sight of the man, they said they called in a dog tracking unit. But before the dogs could find him, they received a call that the suspect was spotted sitting on some nearby stairs. Hey, man, they call it laying “low” for a reason.
