Reports taken from June 13 to June 18
Hoisting one
Two West Ashley men on June 14 reportedly got into an argument, leading one of them to throw a fire extinguisher through the window of their William Kennerty Drive condo. Charleston police arrested the window-breaker and charged him with disorderly conduct. Look, guys, we know it’s hot outside, but a fire extinguisher just isn’t going to cut it. Maybe try a big fan?
Pool party!
A group of Mount Pleasant kids from 15 to 20 on June 13 reportedly hopped a fence into a locked, gated pool area on Park West Boulevard late at night. Town police arrived and called the juveniles’ parents, and charged the 20-year-old with possession of marijuana after searching his car, which was parked nearby. The kids were released to their parents, and nobody was arrested.
Well, how thoughtful
A North Charleston woman on June 18 called city police after her next-door neighbor tried to enter her house through the front door. According to reports, the man pulled a glass door off the hinges and banged on the front door for an extended period of time before giving up and going home. The woman said she didn’t want police to bother him, though, because his mother is apparently sick.
Time for an intervention
Charleston police are investigating a West Ashley woman after receiving reports that she habitually steals alcoholic drinks from an Ashley River Road liquor store. Employees first noticed after reportedly witnessing her steal a bottle of liquor on June 15, but security footage shows her stealing two canned margaritas on June 8, a bottle of tequila on June 6, a case of cocktails on May 29 and more going back further. We’re just impressed she’s gotten away with it for so long.
Bomb-ass flowers!
Charleston police called in the bomb squad on June 17 after receiving reports about a grenade sitting on top of a wall of a Pitt Street home. Police investigated and contacted the owner of the home, who said the (non-functional) grenade belonged to her husband and that it was kept in a flower pot for years. Authorities confiscated the grenade anyway. Booo!
