Reports taken from Nov. 22 to Nov. 28
Road raging
A downtown woman on Nov. 24 told Charleston police that she saw a man, who was standing on the side of Meeting Street, hurl a “small boulder” at her vehicle as she passed. Police noted a “paint chip” on her vehicle that aligns with where the boulder supposedly hit, though were unable to locate either the suspect or the rock. How did y’all lose track of the Incredible Hulk?
What a twist
A downtown man on Nov. 28 reportedly walked past Charleston police officers along a sidewalk on North Market Street while talking on the phone. Officers overheard him bragging about urinating on a police cruiser nearby. After a short conversation, police arrested the man for disorderly conduct and public intoxication. Dude, read the room … uh, sidewalk.
Dumpster diving
A North Charleston dump-truck driver on Nov. 26 called city police after hearing someone yelling for help from the back of his truck after making his third stop of the day. Police found a man stuck in the trash in the container portion of the truck. We have a lot of questions. First — was this some kind of twisted fun for this guy or what?
Likely suspects
North Charleston police on Nov. 28 responded to a Mazyck Road restaurant after receiving calls about vehicle break-ins. Officers questioned a “skinny White male” that matched the description of the suspect, but cleared him after learning of a second “skinny White male” who lives in a box truck behind the restaurant. The investigation is ongoing.
Not technically robbery
A Mount Pleasant man on Nov. 23 reportedly threatened employees at a Mill Street food truck. According to town police, the man threw $40 at the staff and demanded they “give him all the f***ing food,” while brandishing a knife. Police banned him from the restaurant, which didn’t want to press charges since he didn’t actually rob anyone.
