Reports taken from Aug. 3 to Aug. 6
Stinky stealing
Security footage from a Westedge grocery store captured a downtown man on Aug. 6 stealing three different sticks of deodorant — all different brands and, presumably, scents. Cameras caught the man taking the deodorant and “escaping the premises,” according to a police report. The investigation is ongoing, but if any one person needs three sticks of deodorant, are you sure you want to find them?
Party in the rental
North Charleston police on Aug. 3 pulled over a vehicle driving on the wrong side of Rivers Ave. The driver didn’t have his license on him, the rental car was in a passenger’s name, another passenger had a loaded firearm in his lap, and police found two open bottles of liquor in the floorboards. There goes the deposit.
Gone fishin’
A Mount Pleasant man on Aug. 3 called town police after he said a man was jumping into other people’s boats on Shem Creek and cursing them before jumping back into the water. When officers arrived and attempted to arrest the man, he told them he would “beat their ass” and “they would die for this.” Guess the fish weren’t biting that day.
Aww, man
Charleston police on Aug. 4 report they attempted to help a drunken man home, guiding him up steps to a Cannon Street apartment door. But a woman stepped onto the apartment balcony, told officers that the man did not live there — and she did — and she wanted “no part with him.” Since the man was unable to provide any name, number or method of getting home, officers arrested him for public intoxication. Really got to wonder whether there’s really more to this story.
Time for an upgrade
A Charleston woman on Aug. 4 told police her sister’s boyfriend stayed at her apartment for several days and borrowed her phone. Now, the phone was missing. She told officers it was a dark blue iPhone 12 with no case and no available tracking method. Well, to be honest, it might have been time for an upgrade anyway.
