North Charleston police arrested a North Charleston Nov. 25 for shoplifting from a Northwoods Boulevard department store. Police noted the stolen item was worth about $40 and small enough to conceal in the woman’s purse, but never reported what it was, which means we get to play our favorite game: Guess the Ill-Gotten Gains!
Tourists
North Charleston police on Nov. 22 responded to a car “stuck on the railroad tracks” near Noisette Boulevard. The driver reportedly told officers he took a wrong turn, and police determined that he was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol — just a really bad driver. Maybe he’s related to that guy who drove over the Cooper River in the bike/pedestrian lane.
Sleight of hand
Charleston police on Nov. 17 found a man sleeping on a downtown sidewalk with a near-full can of beer at his feet. The officer woke him, confirmed it was his beer and returned to their cruiser to write the citation. But, when they returned, the beer was gone. The man admitted to officers that while their backs were turned, he downed the can and tossed it in the trash. His magic trick didn’t get him out of his open container citation.
Grandpa’s still got it
North Charleston police on Nov. 26 responded to reports of an “elderly man” harassing a woman and other customers with “provocative and vulgar statements” outside of a Rivers Avenue grocery store. Police noted the man was under the influence of drugs, which tested positive for fentanyl. Maybe his game is better when sober.
Sneaky ads
Charleston police on Nov. 18 responded to Sam Rittenberg Boulevard where a woman’s Nissan Altima was reportedly “engulfed in flames.” The woman told officers she was driving, heard a “popping sound” and shortly after saw flames coming from the engine. Yikes!
