Reports taken from June 27 to July 4
Pee-ceful protest
North Charleston police on July 4 attempted to get an apparently drunk man to leave a Rivers Avenue convenience store, but the man refused, saying he needed to use the restroom. According to a police report, the man then unzipped his pants and urinated in front of the officers. The officers reportedly waited for him to finish before arresting him.
DIY renovations
Security footage reportedly caught a West Ashley woman on June 14 taking a faucet from a Magwood Drive home goods store, according to a Charleston police report. Fifteen days later, the woman reportedly returned to steal another faucet and an adjustable shower rod. Guess she wanted to take her bathroom renovations in a different direction.
Barking up the wrong tree
Mount Pleasant police on June 27 reportedly spoke to a homeless person after receiving calls about them panhandling near Proprietors Place. The man told officers he would stop, and asked the police for money for the bus. Ironic.
The Charleston shuffle
Charleston police on July 3 noticed a man on a Meeting Street sidewalk repeatedly losing his balance. According to a report, police presumed he was drunk and went to speak with him. They were right, of course, but to play devil’s advocate a bit — have y’all seen these sidewalks? It’s hard for stone-cold sober folks to keep their balance these days.
