Reports taken from Nov. 14 to Nov. 16

Rough day?

Mount Pleasant police on Nov. 15 responded to a Snyder Circle apartment complex after receiving calls about a drunken man wearing only a shirt. Police found the man yelling on the second floor and arrested him. Due to his intoxication (and lack of clothes), police had difficulty identifying him until they contacted his ex-wife. Yikes, looks like Winnie the Poohโ€™s holidays are off to a rocky start.

Off the grid

North Charleston police on Nov. 16 noted a recent uptick in people illegally using โ€œpower receptaclesโ€ from local businesses to charge electrical devices. Officers arrested at least two people over the weekend for โ€œtheft of electrical current,โ€ which if weโ€™re honest, we didnโ€™t know was a thing. Frankly, weโ€™re shocked! 

Movie night

A West Ashley man on Nov. 14 told Charleston police he received a mysterious charge on his debit card. Police determined the charge came from Maryland for two tickets to the movie Black Phone 2. The manโ€™s bank canceled the charge. We only hope the cancellation made it in time to save that Maryland couple from watching that bad of a movie. 

Just get a box or something

A North Charleston arrest on Nov. 14 apparently required every tool at city policeโ€™s disposal. According to a report, it seems that a man resisted officers after being handcuffed for public intoxication. When he started kicking officers, he was restrained with leg cuffs. When he started spitting at officers, they used a spit guard. Whatโ€™s next, guys? A kennel?
