Reports taken from Oct. 17 to Oct. 19
Still current?
A North Charleston man told police on Oct. 17 that someone slashed the four tires of his car while it was parked at his Azalea Drive residence. The man told officers he suspected the culprit to be his “current romantic partner.” We don’t often use the Blotter to give relationship advice, but you might want to consider making this an “ex-romantic partner.”
Coworkers, amirite?
A West Ashley woman on Oct. 17 told Charleston police that while driving home from work after a heated argument with her coworker, they pulled up in the lane next to each other at a red light. Her coworker then reportedly threw a bottle at her windshield, cracking it, before speeding off. Well, at least no one overreacted.
Panic room
A Mount Pleasant man on Oct. 19 reportedly stole a suitcase, a 200-count bottle of men’s vitamins, a pack of water bottles and a 60-count bottle of vitamin C supplements from a Long Grove Drive department store. Sounds like the early days of the pandemic all over again — but it’s probably just a cold. Store owners did not press charges.
Good choices
Mount Pleasant police on Oct. 18 approached a man sitting in his parked car with the doors open and keys on the passenger seat. The man told police he had been drinking and decided not to drive, despite not feeling particularly drunk. Police helped him call an Uber and got him home without incident. Gold stars to everyone involved!
What a doozy
North Charleston police on Oct. 17 arrested a man for attempted burglary after chasing him from a Ladson home’s front garden to the backyard. Police said he dropped several cell phones during the pursuit, and his “front teeth were dislodged from his mouth” during the arrest. No other details were given, and he was arrested for breach of peace. Dude, what were y’all doing?
