12 CRIME MORE DRIVERS ADDED TO DUI HALL OF SHAME Five drivers found themselves in the DUI Hall of Shame this month, with four earning their first-ever citations. But one overachiever went above and beyond, racking up a second offense DUI along with a laundry list of violations: possession of drug paraphernalia, driving under suspension, operating an uninsured vehicle and driving with a suspended vehicle license. If there was an Olympic event for terrible driving decisions, this individual would have taken home the gold — and earned a trip straight to jail. JAIL DATES ARE NOT ROMANTIC Love wasn’t the only thing floating through the air this Valentine’s season — the skunky aroma of the devil’s lettuce also caught the attention of Isle of Palms P.D. Eight drug-related incidents were reported, with most being simple possession of marijuana (first offense). However, a couple of individuals decided to break hearts (and laws) by upgrading to meth, proving that not all love stories have a happy ending. SUSPENDED DRIVERS GET DETENTION This month’s “Shouldn’t Be Behind the Wheel” club had 11 new members, all cited for driving under suspension. Friendly reminder: when your license is suspended, that means don’t drive, not “drive more suspiciously and hope for the best.” FAKE IDS HAVE REAL CONSEQUENCES Breaking records this month — 16 juvenile-related incidents, ranging from petty larceny and theft from vehicles to vandalism and fraud. And because no good or bad idea comes alone, a group of underage individuals decided to test their luck with fake IDs and alcohol possession. NO LOVE FOR HEARTBREAKERS OF THE LAW The following incidents were obtained from the Isle of Palms Police Department Media Log Reports. This is a parody of real criminal events that occurred between January and February. The names of individuals and business locations have been omitted out of privacy and respect. While love was in the air this past month, so were some questionable decisions. We’re not even at spring break yet, but some folks are already in mid-season form when it comes to piling up charges. With spring break just around the corner, let’s all take a deep breath and try to keep next month’s blotter less eventful. Stay safe, Isle of Palms!
