We were just chillin’
An officer patrolling the streets saw a car parked behind a local gas station.
He shined his spotlight towards it to see why it was parked there.  
When the light cast across the car, the officer watched a young man jump over the front seat and get in the driver’s seat.
The officer approached the car and ordered the man out.
But that wasn’t the only person in the car.
In the rear of the car was a second young man trying desperately to put his pants back on but was so flustered he had both legs in one pant hole.
The officer ordered both men to show him their hands which was risky because Lord only knows where they’ve been.
The young man standing outside the car kept putting his hands back in his pockets while the one still in the car kept reaching under the seat.
The officer determined that they didn’t have any weapons or anything illegal on them. The young man still inside the car was ordered to put his pants on and get out.
They would not tell the officer what they were doing but they did say they were students at a local Christian college in town.
 Then one added that his eye doctor was near the area they were parked — as if this had anything to do with making out with another boy behind a gas station at night.
The officer searched the car due to it being parked in proximity to a business that had been repeatedly burglarized. He found nothing suspicious, but did find some things that led him to believe they were having a little rendezvous.
He point blank asked them if they were involved in sexual activity, and what do you know, they admitted to it.
They were both warned that indecent exposure is a crime and could land them on the Sexual Offenders List and were ordered to take their nightly escapades somewhere else.

Moving violation
It’s not often police come upon women stumbling out of moving cars, but luckily one officer did.
As the cop approached an intersection, he saw a woman trying to get out of a car that had barely stopped. The car sped off as she was getting out and threw her to the ground.
The officer made his way over the woman who barely missed being run over by oncoming traffic.
She told the officer the driver was wasted and they got lost trying to get back to North Charleston from downtown. She said the driver almost wrecked numerous times and that’s why she got out of the car.
This girl and her roommate went downtown to a bar with the driver. She said her roommate was still in the car and was scared and wanted to get out.
About that time the officer saw the car coming back around and called nearby officers to stop the car.
The driver of course could not pass any field sobriety tests and was arrested. The girls were able to call a safe ride home.

Freebies
A nanny thought that the baby stroller she was pushing would hide the items she stole and went about her free shopping spree with no worries — that is until the cops showed up.
An officer approached her on the sidewalk of the Shops at Belle Hall and asked to speak with her. She immediately walked away from the baby stroller towards him — which was about 10 feet away.
Not a very subtle way of separating herself from the stroller with all the stolen goods.
The officer told her she was under suspicion for shoplifting and asked her if she’d done it. She denied any such thing and said he could look if he wanted.
Like he wasn’t going to look.
What he found was an unopened pack of invitations, which the girl said were already in the stroller. But when the officer looked further, he found numerous kitchen items and other miscellaneous goods.
At the car, the officer found two wallets stolen from a store as well.
The officer called the father of the baby and owner of the car and told him his nanny was under arrest for shoplifting. He said he was on the way to get his baby. And that he and his wife would make arrangements to pick the car up later.
Only one store owner wanted to press charges.

A reason to drink
A man came tripping into a local watering hole and demanded a beer. The bartender asked him what kind he’d like and his response was “It doesn’t matter. I just wrecked my car.”
The bartender then called police who later walked into the bar and confronted the man.
He admitted to police that he wrecked his car coming from another bar.
He was told to step outside the bar and he did what sober folks call a stagger.
He could hardly pay attention to the instructions for the field sobriety tests and finally said, “I’m in trouble. I can’t do this anymore.”
The officer asked why and again he replied, “I’m in trouble.”
But this time he added, “I’ve done well so far.”
His positive attitude did not help him pass the remaining tests. What he meant was he’d done well up until now. He said he’d been arrested for DUI before and knew he was in trouble. He refused to complete anymore tests after that. He also refused to blow and was charged with DUI 2nd.

License to carry
A man walked into a local school recently wearing what would be considered civilian clothing. However he very obviously was carrying a gun on his hip.
An assistant principal questioned the man about carrying a gun onto school property and he became quit belligerent. She tried to explain that he was not allowed to carry any kind of weapon onto school property but he insisted because he was a state constable, that he was certainly entitled.
The assistant principal called police and informed them that at no time did he show any kind of identification and was obviously not wearing a uniform.
She said he continued to be defiant but eventually left with his child in tow.
Police located the man at his home and questioned him about the events. He explained that he was wearing a uniform but had his biker jacket on because he was riding his motorcycle.
He further explained that he works as public safety for a local agency and is a constable. However it had to be explained to him that if he returns to campus again with a gun all he needs to do is show his credentials to avoid any unnecessary confrontations.
The school was also notified that the man was legitimate.

Call of the wild
Two animal lovers decided to open their home to some of the Lowcountry’s most common critters.
A neighbor reported to police that a women was hoarding raccoons in their apartment.
The neighbor said they keep their back window propped open so the raccoons can come and go and these destructive little creatures had torn up the gutter and roof easement.
In addition, an abandoned car that these two women keep parked out back is left open for the raccoons to bed down.
One of the animal lovers saw the neighbor outside talking to police and came to the door. She admitted that they kept the raccoons but just recently took them to John’s Island and released them.
Animal Control officers asked to take a quick tour of the house and found it to be clean. There were two healthy dogs inside that were well taken care of.
The officer explained that municipal residents can not have wildlife as pets and she was warned not to feed them or keep any more raccoons as pets. She was told that Animal Control would come seize any wild animals if she was caught.
She said she understood and was moving out to John’s Island soon anyway.
