Reports taken from April 2 to April 12
Wait, what?
Employees at a North Charleston hotel on April 11 called city police regarding a crossbow they found when doing hourly checks of the property. The crossbow had no serial number, and police did not find anyone they thought could have been the owner of the weapon. We’re surprised — surely the chain mail armor that the owner was also wearing made a lot of noise.
New-school biker gang
Three kids on electric bikes outwitted and outran Mount Pleasant police on April 6 as they raced down Park West Boulevard toward U.S. Highway 17. Police said they saw the kids popping wheelies and swerving between lanes before ultimately evading police. You know what, guys? This next generation may actually be pretty cool.
Pre-gaming the heist
A downtown man on April 2 reportedly stole a case of beer from a Meeting Street convenience store, according to Charleston police. Officers quickly found the suspect, already apparently drunk and attempting to remove his “multi-colored shirt.” Little late for trying to change clothes, buddy.
Side hustle
North Charleston police on April 12 escorted a man from his workplace at North Charleston City Hall for “recording” and “watching obscene videos” on his computer in the bathroom. The man reportedly fought with officers and yelled obscenities to bystanders and coworkers until he was eventually arrested.
OK, guys, chill out
A downtown man on April 5 told Charleston police someone stole his “lavender” bicycle while he was in a Meeting Street shop. The man described the alleged thief as having “greasy and grimy hair.” All right, man, we know he took your really cool pink bike and all, but no need to be rude.
