Reports taken from Nov. 3 to Nov. 10
Chain smoking
A West Ashley woman is believed to have stolen $10,000 worth of cigarettes from two stores where she worked in October. Store managers reportedly told Charleston police that their inventories did not match with sales records, and officers suggested possible theft that was later confirmed by security footage. The investigation is ongoing, and no charges have been filed yet.
A little short, fella
A West Ashley couple on Nov. 3 dined at a Sam Rittenberg Boulevard restaurant, racking up a $100 bill. The man reportedly tried to pay with a debit card with a $1.22 balance as payment, then immediately exited the restaurant with his apparent date. Sounds like a doozy of a first date. At least it’s not Valentine’s Day.
Not lovin’ it
North Charleston police on Nov. 9 responded to an Ashley Phosphate Road fast food restaurant after receiving calls about a man “dancing around in the drive-through lane with his pants sagged below his waist.” When he resisted arrest, officers “helped” him into their patrol car and banned him from the restaurant. Can’t have it his way anymore.
A little jealous
A Mount Pleasant woman on Nov. 10 reportedly blew past police on Interstate 526 at 90 mph (about 30 mph over the speed limit). Officers stopped the driver, disposed of the small amount of weed she had in the center console and cited her for the speed. Honestly, we’re a little jealous — how often do you get the chance to drive faster than 20 mph around here?
