It’s in my wallet
Wednesday, July 01, 2009
Sully Witte
By Sully Witte - News Editor

While driving through an apartment complex an officer came across a car

that appeared to have been in a wreck. The driver of the car was at the

wheel, but fast asleep. The officer knocked on the car window to wake

sleeping beauty, but he didn’t budge.

The officer opened the door and even shook his arm before he finally came to.

The man could not recall where his driver’s license was.

 So, the officer felt in his pockets for a wallet and sure enough there it was.

Again the officer asked for his ID.

This time, the man responded, “Mount Plea-sant was in his wallet.”

When asked where he was going, the man replied, “right here.” He was quite confused and could hardly stand up straight.

The officer then asked how much he had to drink, to which he said two

or three beers and denied being involved in a wreck when questioned.

The officer walked him to the front of his car and showed him the damage.

He replied, “I didn’t do that.”

However, he quite clearly did it.

The officer arrested him for Public Intoxication. Another officer

eventually found the accident scene, which turned out was a tree

nearby.

Parts of the man’s car was strewn about the area. He declined medical attention and was taken to jail.

What do people really think of having paid parking on Sullivan’s Island?
All for it, as long as residents get a sticker to put on their car to be exempt from it.
 
Why is this fair- I have been coming to the beach for years and I support your commercial district.
 
Sure, considering that the neighboring beaches, Folly and Isle of Palms, have paid parking. Sullivan’s can certainly use the revenue for the many projects they need completed, mainly installing the stormwater drainage.
 

What do you think of Sullivan's Island's new noise ordinance, restricting noise from 11:00 PM to 7:00 AM?
Ridiculous -- what next, we will get fined to just walk in the commercial district?
 
All for it -- people cannot keep their windows open at night anymore because of the noise.
 
I am just going to go elsewhere to make some noise!
